Priorities
- Growth
Shipped: new version of Channels, iterations
Upcoming
Channels — onboard a user to Farcaster with channel, requests, decentralization plan
Frames — working on next steps doc
Note: also investing in mini apps but haven’t seen a ton of people actively building them
- Direct Casts
Shipped auto-expiring messages
- Working on next set of developer APIs
- Reducing Sign Up Costs
Protocol signups are $2, Warpcast is at $3
- Hubs
Team has been heads down on memleak, possible V8 bug
Prototyping Snapchain consensus with Informal System’s malachite
Writing Snapchain overview doc covering all the cases
- FIP: Locations
Review: location on user profile
Review: location on casts
Not as much progress from last week because there were other tasks on Warpcast's plate, will start looking into this more in the next few days
Coming Soon: verified accounts
connecting your Twitter profile, being able to show it as a badge on your Warpcast profile
- nice for convenience too
wondering if it’ll help give you exposure on the algo, eg if you’re a new user with a lot of Twitter followers
right now will just be in Warpcast, but want to add this to the protocol
- Sign in with Farcaster
Priorities are web and multiclient support
Looking into whether smart wallets + passkeys can help
Could make it easy, so that no matter what client you request to a domain such as keys.farcaster.xyz
Still doing research on all of this, but interested in the direction & cognizant of the fact that this is something users & devs would want (or is at least trending towards)
