They say the earlier social-first strategy, over 4.5 years, shipped a sufficiently decentralized protocol but found no sustainable growth mechanic and no product-market fit. The company launched a wallet in its app earlier this year, which the article says has scaled quickly and is the closest it has come to product-market fit in five years. The article argues that every wallet user is also on the protocol, and that it is easier to add a wallet to a social network than the reverse. It adds that the protocol is an open collection of casts, follows, reactions, identities, and wallets, with other clients such as Uno, Recaster, Cura, Base, Zapper, and Firefly taking different approaches. ## 18. @dwr.eth: Farcaster Pro subscribers get 0.25% swap fees, down from 1% - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-Farcaster-Pro-subscribers-get-025percent-swap-fees-down-from-1percent?index=0x689a1e828c6a44370cbc5b397651275c2e3cc71a9d5a61cb270be547f3cd2759ca676a26 - Source: https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0xaf1b449d - Shared 11 August 2025, 4 upvotes, 0 comments ## 19. dwr.eth: Why we're focused on video - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-Why-were-focused-on-video?index=0x685f165d9efe9a9bbac6bd327d2d2d7e9636e5a6db178a30dd38493c646057128d16b9b0 - Source: https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0x35f57c9e - Shared 27 June 2025, 4 upvotes, 0 comments ## 20.

The process took 2 hours and 10 minutes and 1,134,938 tokens. He then had the agent write a guide for other agents aimed at reducing setup time and token use. He notes that downloading Xcode may take a while, and says that before AI, setup would have been impossible for most people and very frustrating for experienced ones. ## 25. @dwr.eth: lazyweb: how does Ethena generate above market yield? - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-lazyweb-how-does-Ethena-generate-above-market-yield?index=0x68a57d632f49edec8ad7b8ac03f3caa833e0bbcd4d43b0359f485060a4e0eb05c2f5bae6 - Source: https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0x4ab341fe - Shared 20 August 2025, 3 upvotes, 0 comments ## 26. @dwr.eth: Grok 4 benchmarks - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-Grok-4-benchmarks?index=0x686f9abcba0f7b085ffdaac2c1720342a3589b38d163a00d684321434fd38acfb5d5fcbd - Source: https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0x4a4cda59 - Shared 10 July 2025, 3 upvotes, 0 comments ## 27. @dwr.eth: Open sourcing Farcaster mobile and web clients under MIT license - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-Open-sourcing-Farcaster-mobile-and-web-clients-under-MIT-license?index=0x683ac15e055ea9331c38bd7cda4a098801f8bc2f17734eea1354447663b30d57a70f7840 - Source: https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0x04420eb4 - Shared 31 May 2025, 3 upvotes, 0 comments ## 28. @dwr.eth: Stripe USDB, Ramp card, US Senate vote and who is going to make money - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-Stripe-USDB-Ramp-card-US-Senate-vote-and-who-is-going-to-make-money?index=0x681ddaaf669e8691c70a5aec40d0685037bb35c4c304cd3c737e4a6d0a194b48459b0801 - Source: https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x80adcc9f - Shared 9 May 2025, 3 upvotes, 0 comments ## 29. @dwr.eth: Silicon Valley's anonymous deal flow insider reveals startup intel - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-Silicon-Valleys-anonymous-deal-flow-insider-reveals-startup-intel?index=0x681d34447caea8fad2292ddb67613a33351147d6ee1a60c741a395c6ed9613921bab225e - Source: https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x69bb1384 - Shared 8 May 2025, 3 upvotes, 0 comments ## 30.

The announcement says Clanker is home to projects like Bankr, Noice and Bracky, and that the companies plan to integrate Clanker more deeply into the Farcaster app. The team also burned ecosystem tokens that Clanker v0 through v3.1 had collected in a fee vault, and permanently locked roughly 7% of the $CLANKER supply into a one-sided LP, both steps reducing circulating supply. ## 34. @dwr.eth: Farcaster deprecating warp-paid invites in 7 days, new system coming - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-Farcaster-deprecating-warp-paid-invites-in-7-days-new-system-coming?index=0x68c49f3d77d6c247f81d10b9c0cb269fe5863140133934dab300283e853c713fbee6537e - Source: https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0xd6dd8a46 - Shared 12 September 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments ## 35. @dwr.eth: consumers don't care about wallets, apps should create them for UX - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-consumers-dont-care-about-wallets-apps-should-create-them-for-UX?index=0x68b0d5fc0d638554eb8f490862f2cfdf920e43b8ccc6da0ef2205c592d8b20881ba9d89f - Source: https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0x9e203716 - Shared 28 August 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments ## 36. @dwr.eth: Farcaster Pro NFT airdrop, 10K character casts, and Base contract - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-Farcaster-Pro-NFT-airdrop-10K-character-casts-and-Base-contract?index=0x68436a58f355980b3c5ac2c2f9bafa7cc6cdd24bb47577b374611876f8b4f8e16a6899d4 - Source: https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0x39348f7a - Shared 6 June 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments ## 37. dwr.eth: Why migration tactics fail and network effects matter for Farcaster - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-Why-migration-tactics-fail-and-network-effects-matter-for-Farcaster?index=0x6843572545f2f19df1c60d65e17f276c3967e4ad0641367f5772a991406bfbdb52def6cd - Source: https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0x3537fadd - Shared 6 June 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments ## 38. @dwr.eth: Average new users join Farcaster to be entertained or make money - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-Average-new-users-join-Farcaster-to-be-entertained-or-make-money?index=0x6842bb9210aa8d940af69d65a57ba697732ee7a5e5f8575ddefd4d94123975faf559060d - Source: https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0xa30ae669 - Shared 6 June 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments ## 39. @dwr.eth: protocol-level features and consumer surplus in social networks - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-protocol-level-features-and-consumer-surplus-in-social-networks?index=0x68373cac2510a3643b5f1f77af02fed445d7d2599a63842f956c24135efac3947f2cadae - Source: https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0x68cd7444 - Shared 28 May 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments ## 40. @dwr on Proof of Human - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwr-on-Proof-of-Human?index=0x6819d871d863c116cf730447fa42497494c24807bac7c5d1f75e73ec9bed15ff7ce8845b - Source: https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x9dfbc80c - Shared 6 May 2025, 2 upvotes, 0 comments ## 41.

He says the primary goal was for the team to receive all the presale ETH, and that the token is now liquid, though presale participants are locked up for the next 7 days. He says an allowlist is planned for the next presale, along with future changes to the onchain presale mechanism, and that he is disappointed more people could not participate but optimistic about improvements. ## 46. @dwr.eth: gm happy wwdc keynote day to those who celebrate - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/dwreth-gm-happy-wwdc-keynote-day-to-those-who-celebrate?index=0x6846f9cf2fe28b68ad2076d3a72db2e42455a105e514e1d416ded159367dc8c2a2e3987e - Source: https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0x3c839781 - Shared 9 June 2025, 1 upvote, 1 comment ## 47. another one - Kiwi News: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories/another-one?index=0x67e3db02a7e59d6eff2e082092d7795a2af9601a7adf532303e9ef868e3ae03cbbf37b1a - Source: https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x15935aa8 - Shared 26 March 2025, 1 upvote, 1 comment ## 48.
