How are we making Farcaster easier to understand for new people 1. We're still considering rebranding Warpcast (back) to Farcaster. If we do that, will have an FIP. It will be controversial, but initial feedback from most developers actively building on the protocol is they are a supportive (with the goal of increasing users on the protocol). To be clear: this is not final /decided. 2. We rebranded frames to mini apps. This is a more literal name and in line with other popular ecosystems like Telegram. This is easier to understand for new developers. 3. We're gradually deprecating warps. We here this feedback a lot—what are warps and why do I need them—and moving most of the functionality of warps to USDC is much simpler (as well as being more composable). 4. We're working on cheaper / free sign ups. A lot of potential good new users churn at the $3 to sign up screen. Our goals are to 1) make it cheaper at the protocol for other apps and 2) free on Warpcast with a verification (we pay the protocol).

Love how the energy is flowing quickly, appreciate the update. Warplet will still remain warplet even when the name is changed, it has nostalgic value now. Hehe. I think rebranding to farcaster eventually will be a great move and makes it simple. Mini apps are already doing great. Warps yes no use case right now as we have a wallet and currencies.
