Farcaster 2026: A Planetary Onchain Economy
AI summary of the linked articleThis essay argues that Farcaster can grow without losing its decentralised character by becoming the basis of a "planetary onchain economy," an onchain-native society that is permissionless and atomised. The author, who calls the Farcaster ecosystem a trend toward an emerging re-globalised society, points to Farcaster's builder and creator communities and to the planned integration of Farcaster mini-apps into Coinbase Wallet, announced in February 2025 by Jesse Pollak, John Granata and Dan Romero. The author compares this with WeChat Pay, Alipay's mini-programs and Line's super app, and argues that privacy concerns should not stop wallets from adding social features. |

2 comments 183aaros.ethSubmitter Thank you for your support, Cherry!! I remember we discussed many in-depth topics in these areas before, including AI Agents, some Lacanian concepts, and a lot of philosophy-related content. The concept of "Planetary" actually has deeper philosophical implications. The homogenization and decentralization movements also have profound philosophical trends. However, I'd like to save the detailed explanation of these deeper aspects for later. This also has some connection with the Cyberealism Growth model I released previously, but I'm wondering if those theories are too difficult, as I mentioned it in my interview with Blockbeats. Starting this year, I may try to explain many theories in more plain language. this kind of language and method will inevitably lead to some theoretical oversimplifications and imperfections, but still, I hope readers could be understanding and feel free to offer discussions and feedback! |
