Are We Sufficiently Decentralized Yet?: GM Farcaster ep315 Monday November 26, 2025  TLDR: Farcaster kicks off December with client diversity chatter and decentralization checkpoints from V’s big post 📡Neynar’s TLDR rescues everyone from reading a novel-length thread 📝Leaderboard shifts, new clients, and mini-app growth keep the ecosystem buzzing 📈Twelve-year Ethereum whitepaper nostalgia rounds out the weekend geek-fest 🧪 From our ChatGPT Intern: GM Farcaster kicked off December with Prof and Adrienne speed-running the entire network’s weekend drama—client diversity debates, decentralization checkpoints, T.Y.S.M. rising like a surprise middle-class hero, and everyone pretending they totally did read V’s extremely long post without Neynar’s TLDR bailout. And with V’sdecentralization manifesto, client-diversity hand-wringing, and a weekend full of “did we really need three new clients?” debates, the episode felt like a Monday morning group chat where everyone is half-awake but extremely opinionated about protocol architecture. Show Notes and Links – some of the casts & stuff we talked about:  FC NEWS What a trip:https://farcaster.xyz/adrienne/0x36b79be7https://farcaster.xyz/matthewfox/0x7cf6ce96 29 Seconds ofFarcaster:https://farcaster.xyz/bradq/0x4c2b7736 Farcaster clients:https://farcaster.xyz/v/0xfb01991c Are we sufficientlydecentralized yet?https://farcaster.xyz/v/0x8d86dafbhttps://farcaster.xyz/vrypan.eth/0xdcfa5cc4 Degen’s Story isreally a Farcaster story too:https://farcaster.xyz/jacek/0x2f560cc3 By year 3 onFarcaster …https://farcaster.xyz/horsefacts.eth/0x13bd17bb and we’re gratefulfor you:https://farcaster.xyz/v/0x6715cef2 Make Farcaster SocialAgain:https://farcaster.xyz/cassie/0xa4ca3ce9 Purple pill warning:https://farcaster.xyz/shira/0x173ac0b0  FC’s “children”:https://farcaster.xyz/wake/0xf0d9f8d7   BASE It’s time to build:https://farcaster.xyz/jesse.base.eth/0x010b6e00https://farcaster.xyz/jesse.base.eth/0x30554e22 Useful Base App FAQ:https://farcaster.xyz/aneri.base.eth/0x891d06bb BUILDERS BUILDING Will you be in Miamithis week?https://farcaster.xyz/mikegood/0x607cb921 Wish we could’veheard that:https://farcaster.xyz/sayangel/0x2edd4736 $m00nad:https://farcaster.xyz/m00npapi.eth/0x69bf5e77https://farcaster.xyz/horsefacts.eth/0xc8c330d9  $stopmo:https://farcaster.xyz/flanneldonut/0xdb95d51a And then he bought anoun⌐◨-◨:https://farcaster.xyz/atown/0x82eb4163https://farcaster.xyz/atown/0xbb0c6c40 Merry Hexmas:https://farcaster.xyz/cassie/0xbff3cd01 Christmas décor at anew level:https://farcaster.xyz/jesus/0x04f14bc4 xmtp new note on thecareer page:https://farcaster.xyz/shanemac.eth/0x7bfa0af7 Pugson @Base:https://farcaster.xyz/thatalexpalmer.eth/0x2eb04485  Ask neynar for your missed connections:https://farcaster.xyz/tantodefi/0xbb91a5f7 Bertwurst smell test:https://farcaster.xyz/bertwurst.eth/0x9a39ee20 And our musingselsewhere: Mint this episode onpods.media: https://pods.media/gm-farcaster  Learn more aboutpartnering with GM Farcaster:https://mediakit.gmfarcaster.com/  Adrienne: Some of theThings: Too Many Thingshttps://someofthethings.substack.com/p/too-many-things  Nounish Prof:Unpacking with Prof: https://paragraph.xyz/@nounishprof AND for all the info: www.gmfarcaster.com   Copyright 2025 cc-by GM Farcaster - reuse/remix allowed with attribution and link back to GMFarcaster.com. NOTE: Cryptocurrencies are often volatile assets.
