In this clip from Official Channels Day, Dan Romero, co-founder of Farcaster, shares the untold story of how channels evolved from a simple hashtag replacement into the foundation for onchain community.
He breaks down:
- Why channels are more than just a feature — they’re a primitive
- How creators are becoming entrepreneurs by running channels
- The challenges of scaling moderation and UX for both power users and newcomers
- Why decentralization doesn’t always mean “onchain” — yet
- What the future of channels could look like with AI, protocols, and third-party apps
If you're a creator, builder, or curious about the future of decentralized social, this is a must-watch.
