Key Insights
Bullish:
- 🟢 $MINIAPPS - Mini apps within Farcaster offer a solution to the cold start problem for consumer apps by leveraging the platform's existing user base and wallet integration, making user acquisition and engagement significantly easier.
- “If you're building a consumer app, like the single most important thing is getting your initial user base. And so it's a really hard like cold start problem. And we went through that ourselves of like, hey, like now I've released this app and now I'm just gonna start posting about it nonstop and, like, getting people to download it or use it. But if it's within something like Farcaster where it's, you know, you're never leaving the app, a user doesn't have to drop off and, like, download something, it's using the wallet that's already embedded to, like, participate in the app and then users can now share the mini app within the feed.” - Linda (0:00)
