Pre-Farcaster I was an anonymous computer operator: an early engineer at Pancake Swap (circa โ21) that went on to be part of the founding team at LooksRare (remember that?). Farcaster kickstarted a personal network Iโd never had in crypto. It took us to Buenos Aires (Base Batches 2) and Rome (Farcon 26). @floar.eth - sorry, 'FD Hartmann' - just joined the team full-time: we met a couple months ago at Farcon. Farcaster was a massive part of The Firmโs first chapter. The first thing we released was an Employee PDA โminiappโ that allowed you to enrol at our prestigious enterprise. Farcasterโs social graph was so sticky and its community so active - that Dan & Varun enrolled (along with 1000s more) before any of our channels even shared a link. It was a unique incubator for Baseโs early builder funnel and builder network. Sooo many projects & builders (past and present) got their start here. Farcaster provided an engaged, thoughtful audience for your product at an early stage. It put you so close to your users. Feedback loops were fast. The wallet meaningfully improved crypto UX. You could build on the social graph cheaply. It was a distribution channel to quality users in an era where distribution is the biggest challenge. Like ~half of the Base Batches 2 finalists mentioned Farcaster and their miniapp rank in their demo day pitch. Base & Jesse are making clear efforts to strengthen its builder support again, but for _months_ there - the decline of Farcaster (and Baseโs retreat from it) left Base as โthe network for buildersโ with no builder network. A lot of us owe a lot to this place. Long live Farcaster.
