Where is Farcaster still centralized? June 2025 edition Important to call out: our top priority remains user growth. Prematurely solving any of these potential issues below doesn’t help user growth in the near-term. So not a top a priority. May change in the future. 1. Most users use the Farcaster app. A nerf on Farcaster app is de facto censorship from the protocol today. This will change as Coinbase Wallet, Zapper, Uno and other clients come to market. 2. Snapchain write nodes are run by the Farcaster team and Neynar. In theory we can collude to censor additional writes to the protocol. Low likelihood, but possible. Way to solve this is increase number of write nodes. But again, not an issue today. 3. Farcaster “channels” — metadata and creation are centralized. Content has always been decentralized via FIP-2. Creation is not available via API but metadata is. Making some progress on a plan to move channels into FIP-2 without having reliance on the Farcaster app. 1/2

I’m interested in how I can get help when I’m trying to build my project on farcaster - it’s still not clear who or how I should reach out to someone so I’m going to post this 1. launched $wtf for my project wtfirkin.com via clankerworld with CA 0x9a4d496a08b2df2b1b115d2cdf9c0a5629384b07 2. when you click on $wtf, it brings you to the $wtf ticker page 3. out of the 3 tokens shown, 2 are solana and one was the an imposter of my project on base sitting at 25k and is a scam token this seems to have changed to an earlier $wtf token sitting at 25k - how do we change the algo so that my token that had over $1m in volume in less than 20 hours can be featured over an imposter coin with no volume?

Yeah this has been an ongoing issue since launch It's cool tech to be able to see the coins, but far too often the farcaster native/created coins don't make it to the list over other weth imposters
