GM Farcaster ep234 Wednesday April 9, 2025 with @dwr Dan Romero Farcaster cofounder

Thank you @dwr.eth Dan Romero for stopping by GM Farcaster to chat about the latest happenings in the Farcaster ecosystem. Always a great to have you on!

Thanks to our premier partners Octant – and be sure to check out Octant’s Degens & Dragons minting now! AND if you catch the mint during the live show, look for our sponsorship and mint for free!

From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster welcomes DWR for a power-packed update from his new call booth (decor TBD), as he walks through Farcaster’s Gen Z-coded Twitter strategy, SnapChain scaling goals, and the eternal struggle of explaining what a mini app actually is without sounding like you’ve lost your mind. Between Crypto: The Game flashbacks, mini app dev wishlists, and a deep dive into Snapchat scaling that somehow ends with Mike Tyson, it’s clear the only thing scaling faster than Farcaster is the meme-to-feature pipeline.
