Big shift on Farcaster: the team is moving wallet-first.
After 4.5 years of pushing the “decentralized social network” angle, they admitted the obvious — the strongest product-market fit wasn’t in the feed. It was in the wallet.
The focus now is simple:
build a powerful, native on-chain wallet
make social a layer on top, not the core
lean into real utility instead of chasing Twitter comparisons
This is actually good news.
Social apps come and go, but a wallet that people actually use can anchor an entire ecosystem.
Farcaster isn’t just a place to post anymore.
It’s becoming an on-chain hub with a social layer — not the other way around.
If you’re here for ownership, identity, and real on-chain action, this direction makes way more sense than competing with timelines.
