FIP: Direct Casts

A proposal to make Warpcast's Direct Casts an open standard that any Farcaster client can use.

I think the allowlist doesn't make any sense, ATM, if you sign malicious things with your custody, you lose your account instantly. 

So what's the reason for the allowlist then? It just looks like you want to control which apps have access, IMO it's disgusting, Farcaster was always plagued by whitelists.

There's no whitelist in the permissionless paradigm, and the Farcaster team has breached this permissionless tenant in all these years more than I can count. 

I detailed more why technically doesn't make any sense(https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/226#discussioncomment-12520077), and there is no excuse for a whitelist other than breaking the trust of devs, I am not planning to make any code that interacts with DC but, the idea that from these like 300+ devs that exist on Faracster they need to request permission to create any product is sickening.
