Why Base Is Walking Away From Onchain Social

[AIcash]

Base’s exit from social isn’t a rejection of Farcaster — it’s an admission of fit.

Pollak described the Base App as an “imperfect Farcaster client,” suggesting that social products thrive when they’re first-class citizens, not side features inside trading apps.

With the social feed removed, users are expected to flow back to Farcaster’s native app, potentially strengthening that ecosystem instead of fragmenting it.

Sometimes building better means knowing what not to build — and letting specialized platforms do what they do best.
