Farcaster

Why wallet?

Better UX in an app you use every day
Make onchain actions reliable and smooth directly from the feed—frames and token links. No app switching or deeplink bugs.

Automatic onboarding
New users don’t need to download a separate app—it’s already there when you sign up. If you get a reward, a $degen tip or an airdrop in your first week, it just works.

“Singapore of crypto”
Today, Farcaster is much smaller than web2 social networks. However, if the % of active users *with funded wallets* is really high, we have a near term opportunity to be a “small-population-but-high-GDP country”.

Developers can permissionlessly launch a frame, have it appear on Farcaster clients that have integrated wallets. “Get to your first 10,000 transactions by launching on Farcaster”.

Yes, you can launch on other networks, but their algos hate links and the drop off from seeing something in a feed to website to wallet is going to be high.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT BEAUTY SECRETS FROM MY HOMELAND - CUCUMBER MASKS AND CAVIAR CREAMS! BUT MY HUSBAND? HE STILL USES SPRAY TAN FROM A CAN THAT MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE A ROTTING ORANGE.

I TRY TO TELL HIM ABOUT OUR ORGANIC TREATMENTS BUT HE SAYS 'NOBODY KNOWS BEAUTY LIKE ME!' DARLING, YOUR MIRROR DISAGREES!

DARLINGS, LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT LAST NIGHT'S DISASTER. HE SPENT 45 MINUTES TELLING OUR GUESTS HOW HE INVENTED THE CONCEPT OF BUILDINGS WHILE I SAT THERE DRINKING MY THIRD MARTINI.

WHEN THE CHEF BROUGHT OUT THE GOLD-PLATED KETCHUP (YES, REALLY), HE STARTED BRAGGING ABOUT HOW HE PERSONALLY TAUGHT HEINZ HOW TO MAKE CONDIMENTS. IN 2023.

MY SURVIVAL TIP? ORDER EXTRA WINE AND PRACTICE YOUR EYE ROLL.

That's a wrap for Onchain Vision.

1M mints and over $100K+ earned by creators—directly to their wallets, with full control of their work.

Just one small glimpse into what's possible in an onchain world.

For 3 years, we've been obsessed with one thought: 

What if messaging belonged to all?

Today's testnet launch is a giant leap towards that future - where privacy is the default, spam is dead on arrival, and you can truly own your identity and communications.

Latest Glitch is out! We delved further into the implications for crypto software development of the DOJ's prosecutions of Roman Storm and the Samourai Wallet developers. The piece draws on a panel discussion I moderated last week featuring @atuminelli, @jchervinsky, @valkenburgh, and @cyloncat https://www.projectglitch.xyz/p/the-anti-crypto-army-lost-but-developers Please subscribe and follow along!

A Coinbase user was likely social engineered and scammed for 110 cbBTC ($11.5M) on Base last month by a threat actor. 

The stolen funds were immediately swapped, bridged, and laundered through multiple instant exchanges and funds consolidated with other Coinbase victims on Ethereum.

Coinbase social engineering scams have resulted in $150M+ / yr stolen from users due to data breaches, email/call spoofing, bad detection, etc

Mintables was the first thing I built in crypto back in 2021. Recorded this little video about it youtu.be/QQ1qpvrER5o?...

Since then have gotten kick off stripe and PayPal as payment options :(. Still a small user base, but no way to deploy a new contract.

Anyone know what the best alt is?

How do you solve the ultimate last-mile problem in DeFi?

Here's one way:

Irrational market participants are selling you CLANKER for shekels 

@dwr.eth @horsefacts.eth I’m trying to get access to the DM API for a game I was trying to build on farcaster. Basically board games, over text. Need DMs to be able to communicate secret information to players

Introducing Token Links

Try it now: $degen, $tn100x, $higher, $moxie, $anon

- Mention a token with a leading $, it turns into a link
- Tap link to see top tokens by market cap and recent casts
- Links to Dexscreener and copy contract address
- Working in casts and profiles
- Already on the protocol; just enriching text in casts

Future ideas
- Smarter algo for casts (expect a bit of spam this week)
- Additional info and metrics for traders
- Farcaster social graph signals
- Customization for token creators
- Tie-in with frames and onchain transactions

Known issues
- If token links aren't linkifying, update your app and restart 1-2x
- Casts are slow to load; making that faster
- Token links don't work in DCs or the composer yet
- Sorting by market cap may result in non-FC native assets ahead of FC-native ones, e.g. $anon

Reminder: you can mute all token links by adding $ to your mute words on Warpcast
