A few thoughts on Base app launching on Farcaster 1. This a big milestone for the Farcaster protocol! The Base app has millions of existing users that will be onboarded to Farcaster over the coming months. 2. It’s a big win for users — another well-funded client. Different features. Different algo. Different opportunities to earn (opt in!). Farcaster account and your social graph seamlessly work across both (simultaneously!). 3. It’s a big win for developers. Mini apps work with Base out-the-box. It was awesome to see Farcaster mini app developers on stage at the main event today! 4. Expect a few growing pains. We’re learning and working to make the experience as smooth as possible. 5. Expect both apps to try different experiments. A powerful part of Farcaster is permissionless innovation. The Degen and Clanker teams didn’t have to ask anyone for permission to build new experiences on Farcaster. Feature, not a bug.

Sounds great on progress for FC protocol layer. I think competition is a net positive, but how will this affect the FC app strategy long-term? I can see Base app owning the funnel to onboard new crypto users in the future & cause a shift in priority for the FC app. I could be assuming here, but I'm interested in how you think about this strategically. Love to see all the major progress out here
