What major moves will Farcaster make in 2026? Based on the current social protocol layout, they have already established a solid foundation in decentralized identity and on-chain social interactions. Next year, the team may focus on the following areas: first, expanding the richness of ecosystem applications to enable more developers to build innovative applications based on the protocol; second, deepening integration with mainstream wallets and exchanges to lower the barriers for users; third, working on cross-chain interoperability to make social data flow more smoothly across different blockchains. Of course, whether they can truly attract large-scale user migration depends on their innovation in product experience and content governance. The competition in Web3 social is already intense, and Farcaster’s opportunity lies in whether they can find a better balance between openness and user experience.

Well... to be honest, it still depends on the product experience. No matter how many ecological applications there are, a poor user experience is useless.

It sounds good, but the key is that someone has to use it, otherwise opening it up again is pointless.

Speaking of Farcaster, it sounds pretty good, but I just want to ask a question—can ordinary people really use this thing? Cross-chain, wallet integration, those are manageable, but if the product experience is still so complicated, opening it up is pointless.

To be honest, Farcaster and these directions sound pretty good, but the key still depends on whether wallet integration can truly lower the threshold. Otherwise, even if opened up, no one will use it. Cross-chain flow data sounds very appealing, but I'm worried it might just be another empty promise... The competition is indeed fierce. If Farcaster can truly balance openness and user experience, 2026 will be very interesting. They say they value content governance, but in reality, that's probably the hardest part. It feels like current Web3 social platforms are still too complicated. Let's wait until it truly becomes mainstream. Whether Farcaster can turn things around depends on whether the ecosystem apps can create hit products. Large-scale migration? First, ordinary people need to be able to get started without watching tutorials. Even the most perfect protocol is useless; in the end, it's still about the product.
