Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero announced a significant change in the project’s direction, ending its 4.5-year “social-first” strategy after it failed to reach product–market fit. The project is now shifting completely to a wallet-driven growth model.

Their new approach — “come for the wallet, stay for the network” — aims to turn every new wallet user into an engaged participant in the Farcaster protocol.
