A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

If you’re building a crypto app and you’re not using AA / gasless transactions, why?

We didn’t initially because AA requires a few weeks of lift compared to a dead simple EOA implementation

If you want full parity with FC today then EOA makes sense, but if you’re building a frictionless consumer app that requires great UX (social, games, etc) then smart wallets are necessary

I like the idea of "community owned infrastructure". I love what Thirdweb is doing for AA, but the question kind of fees like "Why would you pay for a grocery co-op membership when you can go to Walmart for free?"

Seems to me that subsidies always start as unsustainable (for rapid growth), and end up predatory.
