Base App is coming out of Beta this year and Farcaster focuses on being a wallet. That means Coinbase Wallet (the app now called Base) changes to be "creator focused" (i'd argue the actions map more towards speculation, trading and betting on traders) while Farcaster goes from Social network first to Wallet first, stay for the network.

and it seems this week everyone has realized the Farcaster side even if they didn't want to realize.

Here's the current overview of Farcaster metrics.

• How much funds do users hold? aka what's the liquidity you can tap into? How much of these is held by quality users?

• Is the network growing? How many of these users are considered quality (using OpenRank global scores for filtering). How does activity look like?

• Which chains are used the most among influential accounts and how does Base vs Solana dominance look like?

• How many daily active users (DAU) does Farcaster have right now? How much activity exists aka how many new posts? how many of these new posts are from quality users?

Going wallet first brings more liquidity. It's a matter of this being a deal for you or not. Can you tap into that liquidity? You'll do well. Can you not? Then use other clients like Uno or just use it as social network and curate your following and feed carefully to keep the cozy corner that is Farcaster.
