My thesis for Farcaster as an operating system has only gotten stronger

> Decentralized social graph
> Mini Apps & App Coins
> Integrated wallet
> Embedded tokens in casts
> Token discovery
> Near-instant cross chain swaps
> and so many upcoming primitives

Developers can create permissionless apps (social graph, wallet) and incentivize people (tips) for distribution (embedded tokens in casts), tap into cross-chain liquidity with no trace of friction.

Why mini apps over websites? 

Mini Apps in Farcaster’s context is much more than accessing a crypto service with your wallet baked in

It’s also your connections, your history, your content, your entire context— what you prefer, how you interact, what tokens you hold, who do you respond to, publicly 

Mini Apps that build on Farcaster get to leverage their user’s entire context to make them highly personalized instantly (results in higher conversion)

I wrote about it a few days ago— Apps fit well because Farcaster acts as an operating system for the ecosystem

No reason why a “website” cannot do this, I made /intelligent on exactly this thesis

But calling them Mini Apps pushes devs to focus on these aspects
