will farcaster be available as a dapp on seeker / solana mobile? also are you gonna stick with the naming of "dapps" vs. apps or mini apps (like world, telegram, us)?

@toly Ethereum treats validator and node runners as the primary user base Solana treats the transacting wallets as the primary user base do you agree with that? furthermore, is this the most fundamental cultural difference between the two ecosystems?

thank you for doing this, big fan! saw you speak at Accelerate and something you said about memecoins stuck with me: "the content that’s attached to them is much less important than the curation that goes into it... content best suited for tokens is probably streaming (and so on)." can you elaborate a bit more on this? and do you think the same would still apply to longer-form video content like Mr. Beast videos and not only streaming?

thank you for doing this AMA @toly. it’s cool to see solana folks getting more involved with farcaster. over the last couple years, solana has won the narrative war vs. ethereum and much of this tension has been expressed through beef on twitter (e.g. mert arguing with .eths) even though robust discourse is important, it often led to a lot of toxic behaviour that obfuscated the very real engineering challenges being worked out behind the scenes on both sides. do you believe in a “the tide lifts all boats” framing of competition between chains? in other words, is greater adoption of ethereum beneficial to solana and vice versa? or do you see this more as a zero sum/pvp game with winners and losers?

Hi @toly – just wanted to say how inspiring Solana is. I’ve been lucky to build on it across personal projects, @phantomwallet, and now @farcaster. The UX is unmatched. Breakpoint Lisbon was also one of the best conferences I’ve been to (second only to PyCon). You’re building amazing experiences, onchain and off!

What was going through your head, when solana took a hit after FTX blew up? What do you have to say about it looking back from today being an active chain?

@toly probably too long a question but the recovery of $SOL from post FTX to now is SO impressive. How did you and the network do that?
