How can Lens compete with this? Do we even want to compete with this? What Farcaster is doing is exactly what I've been saying for two years that Lens should focus on as a primary goal. Networking so that valid and active users become an organic and recognized part of the crypto ecosystem and receive rewards and perks for it. Lens is not just a message board; it's a verification mechanism that validates that you are an active, trustworthy, and prominent member of an on-chain social graph. But it seems like Farcaster is stealing the show, even though we're much better positioned for this due to Lens' fundamental architecture. Currently, there are three ways "to be someone" in crypto: You have a Pudgy worth tens of thousands of dollars. You have a massive X account and are a big Kaito yapper. You're active on Farcaster. If you have any of these, they just keep pouring free money on you for years because projects want reliable wallets/users in their user base, not anonymous, penny-pinching airdrop farmers. Why isn't Lens part of this, and why don't I see any effort to make it so? Lens has the same potential to leverage this opportunity. Whose responsibility is it to do so? Lens Team? Lens apps?
