Farcaster is an organic, bottoms up SV for crypto. 

Farcaster appeals to builders primarily, it kind of always has. It’s open so anyone can come and hangout, but social capital is built through proof of work and being a positive community member.

Chasing Curiosity. People, Nature, Machines. Hakuna Matata, "Its a problem-free philosophy.”

Merkle can continue to be the gardener of this emerging ecosystem by:

- building more public infrastructure (frames, wallets, Snapchain, etc.) 
- supporting FarCon (“TechCrunch Disrupt”)
- Building or supporting the creation of “institutions”*
- attracting the investment of major players**

There is already a graveyard of startups that spent time here, my story is one of them. And sadly, there will be more. BUT there are going to huge successes too.

Excited for Frames v2 builders!

🌟 Happy New Year 2025! 🌟
Wishing you endless happiness, success, and new opportunities in the year ahead. 🥳
Let’s make this year truly remarkable! ✨

Happy Happy new year 🍾🍾🍾

Farcaster already has an elite group of founders, VCs, employees, indie hackers, creators/influencers, organizers, community leaders, etc. 

There is a wide variety of crypto teams that spend time here. Base, Zora, Consensys, Privy, Dynamic, Neynar, Opacity, Icebreaker, Ponder, BountyCaster and the list goes on.

Right. 
But these builders must build things that attract lots of end users. That’s the only way the Farcaster ecosystem is going to grow beyond builders discussing what they are building.
