Every Friday, Farcaster is filled with a relaxed atmosphere.People say “Happy Friday”, “Touch Grass”, and even Cash Cannon (a batch method of reward) that day seems particularly extra.It is difficult for you to feel this atmosphere in social media on Friday, but you can feel this atmosphere before get off work on Friday.
I know that some people came to Farcaster and turned off the phrase “What is the difference between this and Twitter” and turned away.Let me tell you that when you understand the relaxed atmosphere of Farcaster last Friday, you can know the difference between Farcaster and Twitter.
A city in construction
Farcaster is a city under construction. At present, everything here is basically centered on the builder.
Most infrastructure of FarCaster is serving the buildersEssenceSimilar to Twitter’s post, the basic constituent unit of Farcaster is CAST; but unlike the POST only with content output function, Frames and Actions on FarCaster make Casts far exceed.Frames is more publishers facing Casts, which enables the publisher to provide applications or services for others in the form of Casts; Actions is more for recipients for CASTS.It is Caster’s execution.
Regardless of whether it is Frames, Actions, or maybe the most eye -catching infrastructure or basic design on FarCaster is the upcoming ProgramMable Direct Casts.Product development in a combined manner.
The two infrastructure of Channel and Group Direct Casts mainly serves content construction. Farcaster explores the rules of the two rules and enhance the ability of the two, so that the builders can build more effective and more comfortable content.
FarcasterMost of the honors and rewards are attributed to the buildersEssenceThe mainstream currency issuance method on Farcaster is reward. For example, the most known $ dege, the builder is the person who contributes to this ecology, and the person who can bring value to others. They have in this way of distribution.Natural advantage.
The recently popular projects on Farcaster are even rewarded the builders. Its token distribution method is that each person can nominate three builders every day to get $ Build.Taking my personally as an example, I will nominate the builders I know, but most of the time, I will nominate the builders corresponding to what I like I like on Farcaster that day, although I did not know them before.They are rewarded because they are building ecology, not because they are.
The vast majority of Farcaster’s residents are buildersEssenceThere are few people talking about politics and gossip here. People talk about how to effectively filter the murmurs in social media through mechanism design and retain effective information. People talk about how to build a place suitable for discussion; there are a lot of new new ones here every day.Applications (including independent applications, clients, frames, actions, etc.), everyone has contributed to the construction of the application, but the characters are different, it may be developers, maybe testers, and communicationers.People build, people discuss how to build, and people’s construction tools and infrastructure for construction.
If you come to Farcaster and look forward to seeing a mature city, you may be disappointed. Farcaster is currently a city with scaffolding and busy builders everywhere.If you come to Farcaster, not just for sightseeing, you want to see if you can find any opportunities in this city, and you will not be disappointed.As long as you are willing, you can be the builder of the city.There are large blockbusters for you to choose from here. You will have many tools to build. You will have some friends to build together. You will be honored and rewarded because of your own construction.
You will feel relaxed on Friday, because you can rest after a whole week of busy work.
Everyone can be the builder
Discuss the theme of “Everyone can be a builder” with my own experience in Farcaster.When I came to Farcaster, I established a channel called/Opinion as soon as possible, and began to share their views here.However, almost no one is interested in these views. I realize that this method is wrong. I should not stay in my own corner.
A kind of information screening algorithm of FarCaster needs to be mentioned here.In most systems, new users are default to real users, and they are judged as witch when their behavior is similar to witch.But in Farcaster, the identity of the new user is NPC, and only when their behavior is similar, will it be regarded as a real user.
In many default settings of Warpcast (Farcaster’s largest client), the content released by NPC users even published by users who have not received Power Badge are hidden or cannot be in Main Feed.This means that when I am a new user, the content I posted is more difficult to be seen by others, let alone I only publish the content on my own channel.
I need to go out and establish contact with others. This is not the meaning of social networks.At the beginning, I just said GM to others, and some people ignored me.Soon I found that there are new products every day here. I use these products and provide feedback to developers, which finally made others “see” me.I am like a person who strolls around the city that is built in the Heat. Seeing who needs help, I go to help. The meaning may not be great, but this makes me start to integrate into the city.Although I have not built my own project, it is also a kind of construction to help others build.
After staying here for a while, I have a basic understanding of the Farcaster ecology.I started to share the new products that I feel or useful, or useful, or interesting, and I will also share and discuss the views I feel good. When I do these things, it may help other builders and let them let them make them.Products and opinions can be known by more people, and they are also building their own content.
I don’t know what I will build here in the future, but there is no doubt that I am already a builder.I received a good $ dege reward, and was nominated by others as the builder to get $ Build. I met many people and was recognized by others. I built my own social network.
This is me, a non -developer, non -high -frequency content creator, from bystander to the builders.This process is not mainstream, but it is naturally formed based on personal interests. You don’t need to do so.
What you have to do is to stay here first, and then find something you like while you can connect with others.For example, you don’t know what you can do, but you are a Meme lover, then start with the addition of the/Memes channel.Share Meme here, become the builders of this channel, know friends here, and build your original social network here.
onChainsocial contact?No, it is onchain society
One day, I played Farcaster in front of the computer and played at 9 or 10 o’clock in the evening. I felt that I needed to relax, so I went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of air bubble water and opened a pack of potato chips.I was paralyzed on the sofa, eating potato chips, and suddenly a huge question mark appeared in my head: What am I doing?Why do I need to eat potato chips to relax in the middle of the night?I sat up from the sofa and thought about this problem.I realize that I am not playing FarCaster at all, but working for FarCaster.
For example, collecting important information on Farcaster and passing them to others is a media editor’s work; such as using new applications and feedback, is the job of a product tester.
When I realized this, a city appeared in my mind.At the beginning of the article, I described Farcaster with the city, which is not a metaphor I found, that is a picture appearing in my mind.
A huge busy city is working hard to build the city.The unique place is that everyone is not arranged by others to do things. Based on their own interests or skills, they find themselves and start doing things themselves.andThe construction of this city has not been chaotic because it has not been unified management and unified scheduling from top -down, but instead reveals the flexibility and creativity, passion and vitality that cannot be achieved under centralization.EssenceThe city is rising rapidly, based on the independent work of each individual.
Farcaster can run well in a decentralized autonomy, because the reason may includeThe
1. It is built based on decentralized technology;
2. In the beginning, it gathered a group of faithful builders, as well as a good community atmosphere;
3. Metal distribution of currency in a reward not only effectively inspires individual builders, but also inspires everyone’s participation;
4.Channel is not only conducive to discussing the topic and precipitated content, but also helps people to know each other. Establish their original social network here. More importantly, individuals can be combined into groups here to complete a certain construction in collaboration;
5. Frame adds the products that you see in the content stream. Developers use Frame to develop products. The product uses social network dissemination. The Frame in the content stream combines independent developers and independent communications to complete the product together to complete the product.Development and operation;
6. Everything on Farcaster is almost programmable. Farcaster’s user data is decentralized, which makes Lego -style development possible. This development contains not only a common improvement of a product, but also different products that different products.Combine a new feature;
7. A healthy, social network that can efficiently transmit information and products makes people get information and then work together.
For outsiders, we have been trying to establish an organization that can operate effectively on top of decentralization, and organization or society means collaboration, that is,The first problem we want to solve is actually the problem of collaboration after decentralization, and the first problem that the collaboration needs to be solved is the problem of effective transmission of information.Essence
Return to the topic.I want to sit down and write an article about Farcaster, not because of its user quantity and daily life data, not because of the investor lineup, nor because of the technical architecture.It is because I realize that it is an unprecedented city, or in other words, unprecedented social organization forms or operations.Farcaster is far more than onchain social. It is a new society based on decentralized social networksEssence
People not only get information here, people also get products and services here, but these products and services are made from here.People live here, and they have their friends; people also work here, where they have their users and partners.
Conclusion
There is a saying in “Xunzi · Persuasion” called “I don’t accumulate a step, there is no thousand miles.”This article talks about the individual’s step in Farcaster: find something you like while you can contact others while starting to do it.It also talks about the thousand miles of Farcaster in my eyes: a new society based on decentralized social networks.I hope the article will be helpful to you to understand the Farcaster.However, the most important thing is not to study it in the distance, but to jump into it.
