Introducing web wallet

- No Chrome extensions—natively integrated into the app
- 100% functionality from mobile
- New minimized wallet and mini app UX
- Dock in the sidebar while you scroll
- Especially useful for streaming or live mini apps
- Ability to 1-click lock
- Sign in securely using your mobile device for a 7-day session
https://www.okx.com/learn/okx-pay

- support USDC + USDT
- self-custody
- 0 transaction fee
- 5% interest rate

looks cool, but not able to do the online payment yet.
On farcaster, we will have:

- Custody Address
- Auth Address
- Verified Address
- Warpcast Wallet Address

I really hope we can consolidate these into a single address.
Back the day I built bress, a third party mirror client, the crowdfunds list was its most popular feature.

People in crypto love to donate to good ideas.

Pretty fun seeing these notifications streaming in. I think @crowdfund creators will enjoy them.

We have many more useful notifications planned. We ingest and fuse Base and Farcaster data to create new personalized notifications.
Crypto social network should reward high quality content with bitcoin, even few sats matter.

Not content coin, not USDC.
As a channel owner, you may noticed that @modbot invitation frames are no longer working on Warpcast.

I've been working with the @cura team on the migration recently, and it's going live today.

Check the quoted cast below, you just need to change your invite link and everything will work as before.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Modbot's cooldown feature is unaffected and remains available for use. Cura team will support it soon.

Cura is taking over ModBot - all channels that use @modbot are automatically supported by cura.

What does it mean?
- all @modbot rules are already migrated to @cura — no action needed from mods.
- @curabot is added as a mod across all channels that are using modbot - no action needed from mods.
- Channel mods can now view and edit membership criteria on https://cura.openrank.com
- Update your channel’s join link on Warpcast to https://cura.network/(channelid)/details

@dwr.eth are we still on track with the rebranding to Farcaster?

I told my friend I built an app on Farcaster, when he saw the login screen, he was confused about the text (connect warpcast). 😅

Hope rebranding can be prioritized and bring more users to Farcaster first.

How are we making Farcaster easier to understand for new people

1. We're still considering rebranding Warpcast (back) to Farcaster. If we do that, will have an FIP. It will be controversial, but initial feedback from most developers actively building on the protocol is they are a supportive (with the goal of increasing users on the protocol). To be clear: this is not final /decided.

2. We rebranded frames to mini apps. This is a more literal name and in line with other popular ecosystems like Telegram. This is easier to understand for new developers.

3. We're gradually deprecating warps. We here this feedback a lot—what are warps and why do I need them—and moving most of the functionality of warps to USDC is much simpler (as well as being more composable).

4. We're working on cheaper / free sign ups. A lot of potential good new users churn at the $3 to sign up screen. Our goals are to 1) make it cheaper at the protocol for other apps and 2) free on Warpcast with a verification (we pay the protocol).
The Recaster Miniapp is ready. Currently, it offers three features:

- Search and view user stats, including Warpcast label, Neynar score, and OpenRank.
- Compose and schedule casts (notifications are coming soon).
- Purchase Warpcast invites directly with crypto.

This is a fun experiment, use Recaster within Warpcast, will add more features if people like it.

I just enjoyed breakfast with @sahil in person, discussing how to smoothly transition Modbot users to Curabot. Openrank, paired with the @cura, will offer better support for channel owners. The migration will happen in the coming weeks.💪💪
Most mini-apps would have better UI/UX by adding the following metadata:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
I’m currently working on the Recaster mini app.

Building a mini app is much easier than developing a native app, and it offers nearly all the functionality I need.

The only feature I miss is gesture control, as you cannot navigate back between different pages.
/Recaster
Hmm, I thought swapping USDC to cbBTC on Base chain would be cheaper.

Study how Warpcast implemented the minimized mini app.

It seems it's using Bottom Sheet instead of Bottom Sheet Modal to avoid auto unmount, then save the app metadata and render the component above the bottom tabs. That's really quick and beautiful design. @ashoat.eth 🫡

I just tried this approach in Recaster.
Minimize mini app unlocks a lot of use cases.

Since it's open standard, the twitter space-liked app will work on all Farcaster clients.

The centralized Web2 social platforms cannot provide this!

Introducing Minimized Mini Apps

- You now have the ability to minimze your mini app just above the navigation bar at the bottom of your app

- Especially useful when you want to check out someone's profile from the rewards app

- Sound stays on while minimized—probably some alpha for audio / livestreaming / WebRTC developers. Bring back Tavern!

Does anyone know how to send warps to others?

A new user registered from @newcaster is having trouble connecting to Warpcast.

I used to send warps to help with onboarding, but I can't do that now.

Where we are and where we're going

1. Recently, we've seen a decent increase in daily active users (DAU). Between 200K and 300K users open Warpcast every month. This needs to be 10-100x greater for Farcaster to be sustainable.

2. We've also seen a lot of previously "churned" users reactivate on Farcaster.

3. We've significantly upgraded our developer UX with mini apps (formerly frames) and wallet. 70K+ funded wallets.

4. We've scaled our USDC rewards programs for content, mini apps and invites. $250K+ in USDC rewards and growing.

5. We've introduced a new series of verifications to help developers better understand users on the protocol. Over 150K+ users have at least one verification.

6. We've launched airdrop offers, allowing developers to target Farcaster users who use their apps via mini apps.

7. Snapchain is launching soon. It's a novel, blockchain-like distributed system that will allow us to scale the protocol for the next 10x.

8. We've grown the team by 50% since the start of the year.

I can't remember the last time I used OpenAI.

Right now, I'm using Cursor and Claude for coding, Grok for deep research, and Gemini for general tasks.

No OpenAI anymore..

This is a scheduled cast from Recaster Web.

If you’d like to use this feature, please try this link:

Looks like Airstack APIs are also discontinued, have to remove related features in Recaster.
/Recaster
No more crypto conferences, please

Save that money to buy some BTC, ETH, or your TGEed tokens.

It'll do way more good for the industry

“The most common reason applicants were put on the [FarCon] waitlist was due to a low consistent cast volume.”
Now I can directly search and post GIFs in Recaster, so convenient..

Thanks to tenor for providing free and powerful apis!

Recent Updates from Recaster

- Reduced app startup time, much faster than before.
- Long-press the like or recast icon, then you can choose which account to react with the cast.
- Tap the user avatar in the top-left corner of the frames screen to easily switch accounts.

These features make Recaster the best mobile Farcaster client for managing multiple accounts. 😂

Expo server components will be another game changer.

Within a Farcaster client, you can easily create and deploy frames.

These frames will offer a native app experience (not just HTML5) and include social and crypto payment features.

Glad to see the stock price of Cloudflare is going to reach ATH

Cloudflare is best company for developers, no other companies can compare.
Farcaster is a decentralized protocol.

/recaster is another client which supports sign up and sign in without @warpcast

The only missing piece is Direct Cast, I hope we can complete it this year.

Farcaster is the protocol.

Warpcast is an app (called a "client"). You can use @recaster-fc if you want.

Example 1
Email is the protocol.
Gmail is an app (called a "client"). You can use Outlook if you want.

Example 2
Ethereum is the protocol.
MetaMask is an app (called a "wallet"). You can use Rainbow if you want.

GM! Sharing some new updates in Recaster:

- To support Farcaster Auth in Frames V2 and future Sign in with Farcaster, the import recovery phrase feature has been implemented. The recovery phrase is encrypted and stored only on your device.

- New users without a Farcaster account can first authenticate via Apple and create an account for free. The fee is covered by leftover free invites from @newcaster.

- Warpcast labels are also supported and can be clearly seen in the user stats tab.

Recaster will be another independent Farcaster client in 2025🫡

Curious how do you define Maxis?

I build on Ethereum, gamble on Solana and convert all my profits into Bitcoin.

Am I a Bitcoin Maxis? 😂😂

Base vs Solana is like an ongoing battle between Coinbase and FTX.😂

If a team is going to build long-term project, I still believe Base is better choice.

@jessepollak·04:54 23/01/2025
my TL;DR on base vs. solana:

1. we're all building the future onchain, together
2. this is a collaborative pursuit we can embrace
3. we also have different visions for that future — this vision competition is natural and healthy
4. I deeply believe in the @base global economy, value, and builders, and will do everything I can to proliferate that to the world

Finally upgraded Recaster from Expo 50 to 52, and now it's powered by the new architecture of React Native.

The best part is Expo Fetch, which allows me to directly use Vercel/AI.

Yes, I am planning to add more AI-related features this year. Sounds exciting!

Introducing Token Links

Try it now: $degen, $tn100x, $higher, $moxie, $anon

- Mention a token with a leading $, it turns into a link
- Tap link to see top tokens by market cap and recent casts
- Links to Dexscreener and copy contract address
- Working in casts and profiles
- Already on the protocol; just enriching text in casts

Future ideas
- Smarter algo for casts (expect a bit of spam this week)
- Additional info and metrics for traders
- Farcaster social graph signals
- Customization for token creators
- Tie-in with frames and onchain transactions

Known issues
- If token links aren't linkifying, update your app and restart 1-2x
- Casts are slow to load; making that faster
- Token links don't work in DCs or the composer yet
- Sorting by market cap may result in non-FC native assets ahead of FC-native ones, e.g. $anon

Reminder: you can mute all token links by adding $ to your mute words on Warpcast
