Jesse Pollak | Paragraph

here's why: the app needs to have one primary focus, and that thing is trading. when you open @baseapp.base.eth, you should know exactly what you're getting, and we’re focused on making it the best place to find and trade every asset.

to reflect a little: I was the biggest advocate for bringing @farcaster content into the base app and continue to believe in a multi-client world. but as we’ve rolled the app out, we’ve realized we need to do less, better. and by focusing on tradable assets, that’s exactly what we can do.

and candidly, I think the truth is that the base app was always an imperfect farcaster client. With this change, I expect those users to flow back to the farcaster app (myself included) and inject more energy into the economy there, with a best in class interface.

@base.base.eth will continue to support farcaster and @neynar and the incredible ecosystem of builders. so much of who base is comes from farcaster and I only expect that to grow.

I love Farcaster and will be forever grateful to @dwr and @v for building it.

So much of what makes @base.base.eth what it is comes from here and I expect that to continue.

The world is deeply better because Farcaster exists.

grateful to @dwr, @v, and the entire farcaster team for their years of partnership on making @farcaster and @base.base.eth what they are today

and excited to work even more closely with @rish and the @neynar team to support farcaster’s next chapter

we expect no changes to how @baseapp.base.eth uses farcaster (or miniapps) and are excited to continue to doing whatever we can to help builders go viral
