Scaling the Soul: A Farcaster Ode

This entry is a poem answering the prompt "How could Farcaster go big without losing its soul," written for the Farcaster 2026 writing contest. It argues that growth should not dilute the platform's soul, and it proposes scaling through decentralized governance, quadratic voting so that whales and bots cannot dominate, and Feed DAOs in place of algorithmic feeds. The author describes these as sovereignty-preserving ideas, with the poem's pillars of identity, innovation and governance named as the basis for expansion.
