is quietly assembling the primitives of a real builder economy.
• Builder coins are moving from concept → live distribution
• Tipping + social capital = early, organic token allocation to real builders
• Neynar lowers friction: ship multiple apps, keep URLs alive, iterate fast
• The narrative shifts from “social app” to “wallet-first coordination layer”
This isn’t memetics.
It’s an attempt to financialize reputation + execution.
If this works, builders don’t just gain users they gain balance sheets.
$IGORYUZO will be launched as the first Builder Coin on the sling-shot platform launches in 7d 18h ⏳, marking the initial push towards a token model for builders.
pretty cool update from

who is clearly iterating on his product. he's collected a lot in fees, has connections to uniswap resources

Ethereum just leveled up. Fusaka the combined

🔍 In-depth interpretation: Is Farcaster's shift to "wallet-first" a failure of SocialFi or an inevitable evolutionary path?
Recently, Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero announced that the company's focus would shift to "wallet-first," sparking questions from the outside world about "abandoning social features" and the "disproof of SocialFi." However, this is a serious misinterpretation. Based on product logic and industry trends, the following is a deep analysis of this strategic shift:
1️⃣ Eliminating misunderstandings: It's a functional upgrade, not a strategic retreat
For active users, built-in wallets are not a sudden shift, but a natural upgrade of the user experience.
• Solving pain points: Previously, using Frames or conducting on-chain interactions required switching to external wallets, creating a disjointed experience.
• Scenario requirements: As Frames evolve into complex Mini Apps, users need a seamless interaction experience like WeChat Mini Programs.
• Core positioning: Wallets are incremental, not a substitute; they are a foundational capability complementing social networks.
2️⃣ Returning to first principles: Searching for the PMF of encrypted social networks
A purely "decentralized Twitter" is difficult to attract the masses. Farcaster's daily active users have already reached the ceiling of "pure social."
• Differentiated competition: According to Yu Jun's formula "Product value = (new experience - old experience) - migration cost," encrypted social networks must offer experiences that Web2 cannot provide.
• Value flow: Since pure chatting cannot defeat Twitter, we must return to the first principles of encryption - serving value flow. Enabling the issuance, discovery, dissemination, and trading of assets within the same app is the true moat of the industry.
3️⃣ Industry trends: The mutual pursuit of social and wallets
Current consumer-level encrypted applications are showing a clear trend of "convergence":
• Social apps becoming wallet-centric: Farcaster, Telegram, and DeBox are all building in-app wallets to support transaction needs and ecosystem applications.
• Wallet apps becoming social-centric: Zapper, Zerion, and Base App are integrating social graphs and content streams, attempting to turn "use-and-leave" tools into sticky networks.
4️⃣ Farcaster's new form: Super app + infrastructure
• As a client: Through "built-in wallets + Mini Apps," Farcaster is evolving from a single social media to an "encrypted super app" integrating games, trading, and prediction markets.
• As a protocol: The open social graph is becoming an industry infrastructure, directly integrated by wallets like Zapper, amplifying the network effect of the protocol.
💡 Summary
Farcaster isn't dead - it's just stepping out of the comfort zone of "small but beautiful."
"Wallet-first" isn't about abandoning social features, but recognizing that without built-in value flow, social networks are doomed to fail to achieve large-scale growth in the crypto world. This isn't a detour, but a crucial leap from the "handicraft era" (external wallets) to the "industrial era" (native closed loops).
