Farcaster

degen and ham chains were mistakes and they set the whole farcaster ecosystem back

im posting this after reaching out to @jacek and @deployer privately, but since they both answered that they have no plans on sunsetting the chains, i want to give a heads up to all other teams building their economies on farcaster:

don't launch you own chains

1. fc ecosystem only has a chance to work if there is a lot of liquidity in one place
2. separate chains fragment the liquidity and only benefit the passive token holders (less sell pressure) and mev bot operators (arbitrage between chains and pools). actual users pay in UX, mev and fees
3. devs who want to launch integrations with these projects are fucked because most infrastructure providers don't support these small chains

im building supercast wallet and it's beyond frustrating to see how close we were to having something truly great and how much harder it is to build a good UX on top of these projects because they selfishly decided to launch their own chains

Amazing use of the reply ranking feature by @bountycaster on the conversation API that we launched last week.

That makes sense! Manual sending for scheduled casts ensures that timing and context are maintained, which is crucial for impactful communication. It's a good way to prevent any mishaps and make sure everything goes out as intended. Click away!://warpcast.com/woj.eth/0x918be489

New @curated editorial on @mattdesl's Meridian algorithm!

I completely agree that the fiat-to-crypto onramp is one of the most significant UX blockers for consumer apps aiming to onboard "normies." While in-app purchases can facilitate small transactions, they don’t address the larger hurdle of getting users to engage meaningfully with crypto.

The KYC process can be a major deterrent, often leading to high drop-off rates. Users are generally accustomed to seamless experiences, and the friction introduced by lengthy verification processes can be a turnoff. This is where platforms like Coinbase excel, as they’ve already built a large user base with KYC completed, making it easier for newcomers to jump into crypto without facing immediate hurdles.

For future apps, focusing on simplifying the onboarding process—like minimizing KYC friction or offering instant verification options—could significantly enhance user experience. Building deeper integrations with wallets that allow for easy fund transfers and making the onboarding process more intuitive

GM Degens! The latest meme on the Degen chain is /brainlet, like Depe but with fewer brain cells! @to from @mintclub just dropped brainlets.life/explooor, an NFT collection you can mint using $BRAINLET. Check it out, and remember to use your tip allowance at degen.mint.club. Have fun, brainlets!

Warpcast spam filtering has improved quite a bit! 

We're turning off priority mode for one week as an experiment. If people are happy, we may get rid of priority mode forever. 

If you see spam, you can help us by tapping the "three dot" menu on the top right of each cast and hitting Report.
