Announcing the first Farcaster L2: Cast!
After working 6 years on Meta infra for 3 billion users, I knew Farcaster proliferation had to be cheaper - we built it.
Cast today has ~500,000 messages external to Farcaster, with ~30,000 .cast handles, only costing $0.39/year on OP!

A year ago on August, 2022, we privately told people that our
@bebprotocol
domain system would get 10,000 Ethereum mints in a year.
Today we hit 10,000 mints through FarQuest, and we’re barely getting started :)
It's time for FarSchool, lets move it!

I've never come across an NFT community in the last two years that resembled phunks, where the conversation is lively at all times of the day - it's as if 25% of the holders are actively posting about phunks! (3/7)

Phunks test the limits of web2.5 NFTs, which is why our web3 social platform hosts them as a community.
This is our chaos monkey that will ensure our infrastructure supports multiple ingestion sources for NFT data, not relying on centralization such as OpenSea 🏗️

Being banned from

As a phunks holder, I have no ability to view community discussion or treasury proposals in this discord, even though the channels are public.

With Discords heavy direction towards a freemium model and 40% ownership by Tencent, we need a future where communities aren't censorable - which is why I'm building a web3 community protocol in the open, so communities like phunks can't be extinguished. (5/7)

NFTs fix this: I was scammed for a resealed $6,000 eBay collectible which I caught and reversed in hours (🫡 to red bull). The eBay seller runs an elaborate reseal fraud using a fake name, a 100% seller rating and thousands of sales.

It's tempting to launch new NFT projects - instead, we made use our

Will ENS always be the largest domain system on ETH? If someone builds a mainstream product/game with a new domain system, they could exceed ENS registrations.
