Mini apps as top of funnel for your native app I sometimes get pushback from builders around building a mini app. “Why would I build on someone else’s platform? What happens if they rug me?” “I want the full functionality and UX of a native app. That’s important to the vibe of my app.” Fair points. But that assumes you have another viable distribution path. Why you should build a mini app 1. Mini apps are a small amount of work to extend your existing web app. So minimal platform specific risk. 2. They give you strong authentication, access to notifications and wallet balances in an app people already use. 3. They don’t get nerfed on Farcaster; in fact, it’s likely you can go viral with the right mechanics. 4. Soon: write once launch everywhere with Coinbase Wallet. If you convert users to weekly users in a mini app, you can upsell them to download your native app—and they will already have an account. This means they are more likely to retain.

for BetSwirl building a mini app has been a great experience — helped us connect with thousands of users who were looking for our product in web3 but found it via @warpcast We also had the opportunity to connect with the DEGEN community and list their token for our casino games again thanks to Warpcast. On top of that, Warpcast is now the only social media where you can place sports⚽ , esports🎮 and casino🎲 bets fully onchain, no extra hustle. We can’t agree more — building on Farcaster was very beneficial and should be a no-brainer for any serious project bringing real value to a web3-native audience. Let’s keep pushing the boundary of what web3 can do. Let’s bring everyone onchain. Bet smart ! Bet on web3 😉 https://www.betswirl.com/
