Should we rebrand Warpcast to Farcaster?

We separated Warpcast (the app) from Farcaster (the protocol) a few years ago. 

We've heard from many new users that this is very, very confusing. People hear about Farcaster, search in the app store, can't find anything called Farcaster and then churn.

Branding professional chiming in to say absolutely yes. 

Before even mentioning the name I have to address the fact that the branding should all be the Arch Gate logo as well with this change 🙏 . The Purple is and always has been one of the best organic brand signifiers (The Purple App!) and the arch is really strong.

I'd say (personal opinion) the names were always too similar and would lead to confusion. At this point a consolidation seems to work best and as new clients emerge, with their own branding, this remains Farcaster, the OG client. I like @derek's suggestion of Farcaster (client) Farcaster API (protocol). 

Also while Warpcast is a cool product name, it feels off for what the product is. Warp implies something that just never seemed to fit or flow with the product in usage or branding, Iikely why so many people end up referring to it as Farcaster or FC. Cast btw, as has been discussed elsewhere, is EXCELLENT branding and should be highlighted at every turn.

Yes. I have been evangelizing FC for the last year+ & it has always been a point of confusion/friction. Average user dont care about the back end/protocol. Proto name should be diff than client though. The OS client would be great


I agree w/ everything Sam says here.
