[Farcaster Builders #3] Ahn.eth, building Quidli

Welcome to the third episode of our new series dedicated to the builders of the Farcaster ecosystem (⁠⁠⁠https://farcaster.xyz⁠⁠⁠).

In this limited run, we are going to understand the strategies, timing, and mental models of the founders building the next generation of onchain experiences.

In today's episode, we sit down with Ahn.eth (⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/ahn_going and https://farcaster.xyz/ahn.eth), the founder of Quidli (⁠⁠https://quid.li/).

We are looking at the plumbing of social finance with Ahn.eth (Justin), a founder who is tackling one of the most persistent points of friction in crypto: making value transfer as intuitive as sending a direct message.

We discuss:

+ why your social graph might be your most valuable on-chain asset,

+ the structural limitations of current identity systems like ENS, and

+ how to build a 'Yellow Pages' for the decentralized web that works across Farcaster, Telegram, and email without locking users into a single platform.

It is a very useful episode for understanding how portable social graphs can abstract away complex blockchain UX to enable seamless value transfer across any platform.
