#### Ordering - a new sync model

- Sheer number of messages syncing is getting large

- The FIP work might be taking a bit longer but think this can not only make sync a lot easier but also make debugging any future sync errors easier

- FIP: [link](https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/193)

#### SIWF — Dan / Connor / Piril

- Reduced size of URLS to make the QR code easier

- Done for now but if were to do more, would:
  - add the 8 char code in Warpcast
  - think about moving to EdDSA, would make it easier for apps like [Supercast](https://supercast.xyz/) to be web companion

#### Public Blocking

- Users you block
  - Can’t quote cast or reply to you in Warpcast
  - Won’t show up in your feed

- Blocks (unlike mutes) are public, available [over an API](https://docs.farcaster.xyz/reference/warpcast/api#get-blocked-users)

- Notes on blocks
  - Not a full block since Farcaster is decentralized (eg use another client), mainly makes it harder to see content on WC
  - Need to do more in WC so the person you blocked can’t fully see your content

#### Boosts

- Have been thinking about how to reward good content, especially newer accounts & Boosts is a first experiment in this direction

- Selecting small accounts (<10k followers) who are casting — 10 of them given out per day and the distribution lasts for 24 hours

- Collecting a bunch of stats on if this ups your following/views/etc, will share the results eventually

#### Caster Rewards

- Warpcast is giving $5 (USDC on Base) a day to the top 100 casters through the end of the year

- Filters out engagement from spammy accounts, more bias towards “known good” accounts

#### Explore

- Continuing to add new apps, over 150 apps and 50 submissions to go through

- Bunch of requests for media and non-app creations, still exploring that (if media is a frame, easy to add to Explore today)

- Added the FlappyCaster experiment, composer action but right in the Explore Page
  - Dan’s very interested to see what would wanna build, highly encourage to reach out
  - Will help inform if they should essentially work on a mini-app platform here

#### MWP - [Dan](https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth)/ [Horsefacts](https://warpcast.com/horsefacts.eth)/Piril

- [Horsefacts](https://warpcast.com/horsefacts.eth) has been working on integrating Rainbow

- There are a few Mobile Wallet Protocol (MVP) and Coinbase Wallet changes under works to help support this & further wallet connection support overall, but Coinbase is committed to making this work

- Excited to have not only better wallet connection but also another wallet option
