Farcaster

Important upcoming milestone: after Farcaster migrates to OP Mainnet and we enable permissionless sign ups, there are zero corporate APIs required to use the network.

No caveats, coming soon, eventuallys, etc.

100% permissionless

Building /warpcast and /farcaster

I have two questions:

1) will there be a maintained testnet version of Farcaster protocol (hubs + contracts)?

2) you had mentioned that you didn't want to go permissionless until you had a good methodology to fight abuse on Warpcast that could be replicated by other clients. Is this the case?

Can’t wait!! Do you have an appeox ETA? 😃

Also, what’s gonna happen to the current referrer/referral system? Is it gonna stay in place and serve some sort of purpose or you’ll get rid of it?

have you thought about how spam and harassment will be handled after farcaster becomes permissionless? Or since it's on a blockchain, gas fee will deter this to an extent? Another way could be that each frontend handles it on its own on its own.
