Farcaster

announcement time: super is joining warpcast

we are joining forces with @dwr.eth and @v to build farcaster into the most important social network on the planet, together

farcaster has never been stronger and i’m grateful for everyone who helped us get here

below is the story and what is happening next

Technowatermelon. Elder Millenial. Building Farcaster.

first, i’m joining warpcast to work on user growth

my new job is simple:

if dau grows → good, if not → my fault

we are betting on crypto to be the new form of content and what will turn farcaster into the most entertaining place on the internet

we are taking everything special about farcaster today - apps, tokens, frames, communities - and we are turning them into the most viral and fun experiences possible

what will happen with super?

unfortunately, this means that we will stop the active development — my focus will remain on growing farcaster, but with warpcast

i know many people rely on super in their everyday life and i will do my best to build a smooth transition

so:
- super stays live for at least the next 3 months
- all active memberships will be refunded
- after that, we'll likely open source it and pass the torch to a new maintainer

more updates on this soon

i’m beyond grateful to everyone who gave super a chance

whether you became a member, posted from @superanon, or just shared one of our pastas, you made super possible

i’m also beyond grateful for @0xmelanin, @samuellhuber.eth and @natedev.eth who provided an invaluable help for the past 2 months

i feel very bad that we will not get to release the mobile app and the super wallet together

you all made super possible and i will remember this forever

how did we get here?

over a year ago i took a life-sized bet on farcaster and went all-in on super

back then, it was called supercast and it started as a client for farcaster power users

we became the go-to app for scheduled posts, threads, and multi-account management

but we found the most success somewhere else — in the crypto native, fun features, like degen tipping, superanon or claiming airdrops

this is why in November, we decided to open up, launch a wallet, a mobile app, and go all in on growth and consumer social features

when i started super, farcaster was tiny

going full time on a self funded business, fully dependent on an unproven, small protocol was truly contrarian

but it felt right, i was excited about the tech, the vision, and exceptional early users i could onboard by being farcaster native

thank you for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to work with you and the best team ever 💜💜

If only there was a way to decentralize Super to the community…

Think… think… 🤔

Supercaster is a step above fc, do the same thing here as you did there, especially with the way y all handled the members🫡

and for those of us that paid you manually in ETH, will that just be refunded to the originating wallet?

sad about loss of competitor (i threw down a year membership mainly to support your work), appreciate the refund and very appreciate the open sourcing -- probably the only plausible path to more competition in the future.

Will I be able to do scheduled casting after 3months?
