Lens and Farcaster: What's Next in 2025? đź‘€
Alright, mates, let’s take a closer look at the current state of decentralised social media and where these two giants, Lens and Farcaster, are heading in 202. Both are making significant strides, and it’s fascinating to see how they’re evolving.
Current Status of Lens:
Lens recently bagged 31 million in strategic funding, bringing its total to 46 million. That’s some serious backing to fuel their vision!
The Lens Network is gearing up for its mainnet launch in Q1 2025, and the buzz is crazy!
The recent Lens Holiday Hackathon saw 57 projects submitted! Devs are diving into building innovative apps, particularly in the SocialFi space. We can expect to see a variety of projects, including gaming applications, AI agents, AI curators, and marketplaces.
And guess what? Our bro Yakuza is among the judges and has already cast his votes—talk about being in the thick of it!
Current Status of Farcaster:
Over in the Farcaster camp, they’ve just raised a staggering 150 million at a 1 billion valuation. That’s a clear sign of investor confidence!
Their user base is growing, with around 80,000 daily active users and a 50x increase in activity since going permissionless. Exciting times!
The latest buzz is around Frames V2, which allows users to turn their casts into interactive apps. This has led to a surge in user engagement, and it’s clear that the community is loving the new features.
Plus, Dan Romero, the founder of Farcaster, is actively seeking feedback from users daily. It’s great to see that level of engagement and commitment to improvement!
Sentiment Around Lens and Farcaster:
For Lens, the sentiment is a mixed bag. There’s excitement about the funding and hackathon participation, but some users are questioning the project’s direction.
Farcaster, on the other hand, is riding high on investor enthusiasm and user engagement, but the concerns about its decentralisation and sustainability are definitely worth noting.
What’s Next for Lens?
With its network launch on the horizon, we can expect a wave of innovative projects and apps to hit Lens, thanks to the hackathon submissions.
The community and devs are buzzing with ideas, and it’ll be exciting to see how these projects evolve and contribute to the decentralised social media landscape.
What’s Next for Farcaster?
Expect sustained growth and further innovations with Frames V2, making the platform even more interactive and engaging for users.
They’ll need to ensure their infrastructure can handle the growing user base while staying true to their decentralised ethos.
Our Take
What a time to be on decentralised social media, innit?
Lens and Farcaster are both carving out their paths, and it’s going to be exciting to see where they go from here!
With vibrant communities and innovative projects on the horizon, the future looks bright for both platforms. WE HOPE!
