Farcaster’s aim continues to be a sufficiently decentralized protocol. We expect to add Uno as an independent validator and open source a snapshot of the Farcaster mobile client by the end of this month. We’ve learned through Merkle’s years of experimentation that decentralization as a narrative isn’t enough to grow social networks. We need user growth alongside user ownership else it’s an empty decentralized network. Our vision for Farcaster is to make it the best place on the internet for people to create new things, launch and get feedback from their first users on a social graph they own, on global financial rails. Our priorities moving forward are: 1. features to help humans and agents build easier on Farcaster 2. make it easier to discover new launches, share what you create (prototype here: https://farcaster.xyz/rish/0xc00a9fa4) 3. fix product experiences in the client - cast button, reply bumping in the feed, etc. This will happen on a sufficiently decentralized network that can then progressively decentralize in the future. If you have bandwidth to help test and address issues on the client snapshot before we open source it, please reach out.

Here's a prototype video on app discovery (context on why I am sharing this prototype is in the quoted cast below) product goals - builders can share their products more easily with the network - users can discover new products faster, engage in more fun ways feedback that helps achieve the above goals is useful, feedback asking us to switch to different goals is less relevant at this time ps - I use slack to record videos and often get cut off abruptly at 5 mins
