The Farcaster news honestly shouldn’t shock anyone.
Their wallet was already gaining momentum months ago — 100K+ funded wallets, a campaign spike, and clear signals they were leaning into the financial layer. The bigger issue is that Farcaster as a social app still forces creators to start from zero, which is why many never fully migrated.
What is compelling is the mini-app ecosystem they’ve built. That part feels real.
This whole year has been the rise of wallet superapps and the blending of social + crypto: Base App, Zora, Robinhood, all pushing in that direction. Wallets will keep piling on features to compete, but that risks turning into pure bloat.
The winner will be whoever answers the only question that matters:
What do people actually want their wallet to do?
