For years, content creators, builders, and innovators have generated billions in engagement for centralized platforms—and received almost nothing in return. The system was simple: You create, they profit.

Crypto-native innovators know this problem all too well. Social platforms own your audience, control your reach, and dictate how (or if) you can monetize. Worse, you can be de-platformed overnight—ask @poppunkonchain, whose pre-seed venture-backed company, g8keep, was suspended on Twitter without warning.

The Core Issue: Relying on Centralized Platforms is a Losing Game

Web2 platforms have conditioned creators to chase visibility instead of capturing value. Here’s the reality:
🔴 They extract your value. Your engagement fuels their ad revenue—you get pennies if anything.
🔴 They dictate your reach. Algorithmic shifts can kill your distribution overnight.
🔴 They own your audience. If they ban you, you lose everything.

The risk is even higher for crypto-native businesses. Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok don’t prioritize Web3—they tolerate it. Your ability to grow and monetize is always at their mercy.

Farcaster is the first crypto-native social network that flips the model:

You own your audience. No centralized entity controls your identity.
You own your reach. No shadowbans, no arbitrary suppression.
You own your monetization. No waiting on ad checks—revenue flows directly.
