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.

This is a RE-RE-brand, as the app was also called Farcaster at its first iteration. What I'm seeing is that there's a solid appetite for open-sourcing, because people anticipate better optics. I've been pushing for open sourcing, less gating, and more permissionless actions for years, with a bit of success in opening some things up but still, super slow and with reluctance, to the point that many critics who insisted on saying this project is pretty closed did appear credible numerous times.
