Degen

farcaster succeeds when there are multiple successful clients built on top of the network. its very early in this regard. 

its difficult and expensive to build a successful client. we are only just beginning to see teams with potential for success do this: coinbase, zapper, degen. 

i hope each one succeeds in its own way and we see many more to come.

Totally agree with @deployer, Farcaster wins when multiple clients succeed. Each one brings its own perspective, UX, and user community, which expands the surface area of the protocol and pushes innovation forward.

While it’s true that in many areas of software we see winner-takes-most dynamics (browsers, social apps, etc.), the Farcaster ecosystem feels more like early Linux: no single dominant distro, but a range of options built around different values and use cases. And that diversity is a strength.

From Coinbase and Zapper to Degen and others, I’m rooting for all of us. Even though we’re building Degen, I know our success is deeply connected to the health and momentum of the broader ecosystem.
