 Hi, I'm Dan Romero from Farkaster, and this is my network state talk. Farkaster is a sufficiently decentralized social network, and in 2009 Paul Graham wrote an essay. He makes an observation that Twitter is an interesting company in that it somehow captured a protocol, something like email or the web, inside of a company. Having spent nearly a decade in crypto, I felt that the ability to move social media to a protocol-based approach, so something similar to the web or email, would be beneficial to society. So Farkaster is a decentralized social networking protocol. Farkaster exists in a couple of different layers, and so from kind of an end user perspective, you just use an app. We have an app called Warpcast, there are many other apps in the ecosystem. Jam is actually a team based in Singapore, and that's a great example of they are building a client that integrates multiple decentralized social networks, and so I don't have any say, obviously I would just love everyone just to do stuff with Farkaster, but the beauty of a permissionless system is the Jam team is able to go integrate Lens and other decentralized social protocols because they think that that's the user experience that their users want. There's a recent client called Flink, you can get our client which makes it look like Twitter, and the exact same content can kind of be reformed and make it look like the front page of Reddit or Hacker News. Farkaster is a community not just a utility. So Farkaster started as a utility. This is the Chris Dixon, you know, come for the tool, stay for the network. Most of the people who are active on Farkaster today and who have the largest audiences on Farkaster didn't know each other before, and I think over time it's actually just morphed into its own community with its own set of norms. I think where I have been inspired by Biology's network state is, you know, it sounds abstract to people who kind of maybe live in whether it's Web 2 or just the analog world, but if you really are cloud native and internet native and you're building communities in the cloud first, a lot of what the network state says, it's not just theory, there is actual practice to it. Farkaster is now adding NFT based channels with mods, and what channels are, and here's an example of the UI, you can see the kind of nouns logo here, is it allows you to create a smaller space within the broader Farkaster network. So in some ways, actually a network state, you're able to kind of level up the tool that you need as your startup society grows and hopefully Farkaster, but it doesn't have to be just Farkaster. It's this kind of new stack for cloud based societies is able to kind of grow in parallel to this overall movement. If you send me a DM on Twitter and you just put TNS in the message, I'll know that you saw this talk at the network state and I'm happy to give you a Farkaster invite. So, yeah.
