To cut spam, Degen app will require phone verification: 1 number = 1 account. We don’t get your identity—just proof you’re real. No anon mode for now. If you’re ok with this, lmk. If not, suggest better ways to verify. We want your input.

degens can tolerate friction, imo. we're early adopters by nature. what population are you trying to /exclude/ with this? what are you actually trying to achieve? yes, i heard the bit about ✨effortless onboarding✨ but i'm confused; if your tam is no larger than farcaster itself - ie, degen client will only ever be a subset of the whole userbase - why not just use SIWF? unless you're worried about bots. in which case i'd ask: why are you already worried about bots? they're attracted to automatic incentives. re-imagining allowances might reduce the problem you're trying to avoid.

Not trying to poach Farcaster users—if they join, cool. But we’re aiming for net-new, non-crypto-native folks. Phone + OTP is just dead simple.

if you're going after an entirely new set of users, then sure, it makes sense. odd that you're building a client for farcaster-naive non-natives (ie not degens or degentlemen). but i respect your willingness to start from bare metal and populate with different folks. pyrrhic but thorough.

Thanks man — and yeah, nothing’s set in stone. If it’s not working, we’ll adjust quickly. Just the first phase will take a bit to build, but after that we’re aiming for a faster, more regular release cycle.

sure thing. disappointed, but curious to see how this plays out in the summer/ fall. good luck on the first build and eventual release cadence.
