Farcaster

Now that you need to send a real transaction to onboard to Farcaster, is there a good way to sponsor someone's onboarding costs? I'd like to be able to do that for the people I invite especially if they aren't too deep into crypto.

We're doing this with Warpcast invitations — if we give you an invite and you invite someone, the onboarding flow is sponsored by Warpcast. 

cc @v who can share how we do the paymaster

Also the protocol allows you to pay for a storage slot for any FID.

We will continue with Warpcast but agree would be nice pattern for the protocol / ecosystem

Oh that's great. Once we go permissionless it would be awesome for users to be able to make sponsored invites.
