dwr updatesCan you solve spam at the protocol-level?
Assumption: a credibly neutral decentralized social networking protocol is desirable.In order to achieve "credibly neutral decentralization" for the protocol data it must be 1) replicated across many servers / nodes 2) user-controlled, i.e. the user does not have to rely on any other party to add / remove messages to the protocol 3) sign ups are permissionless.This means that anyone (or AI) can sign up for an account and post whatever they want at the protocol level.

dwr updatesWhat does sufficient decentralization mean?
I often see people say Farcaster isn't "sufficiently decentralized". You're free to define what "sufficiently decentralized" means to you, of course, but how we think about it is laid out in Varun's blog post:A social network achieves sufficient decentralization if two users can find each other and communicate, even if the rest of the network wants to prevent it. This implies that users can always reach their audience, which can only be true if developers can build many clients on the network...

Here's our rationale for shipping a wallet in Warpcast.
Make onchain actions reliable and smooth directly from the feed—frames and token links. No app switching or deeplink bugs.
New users don’t need to download a separate app—it’s already there when you sign up. If you get a reward, a $degen tip or an airdrop in your first week, it just works.
Today, Farcaster is much smaller than web2 social networks. However, if the % of active users with funded wallets is really high, we have a near term opportunity to be a “small-population-but-high-GDP country”.
Developers can permissionlessly launch a frame, have it appear on Farcaster clients that have integrated wallets. “Get to your first 10,000 transactions by launching on Farcaster”.
Yes, you can launch on other networks, but their algos hate links and the drop off from seeing something in a feed to website to wallet is going to be high.
