Question for fc devs:

Anytime we want to use any farcaster client that’s not warpcast, we have to sign a transaction to authorize that client to cast on our behalf and/or edit our profile. 

How come warpcast doesn’t need to ask permission?

It’s not a requirement. It’s just how people have it designed today for practicality / speed of implementation. cc @woj.eth

it is a requirement, unless i don't understand what we are talking about

If you have a signer you don’t need SIWF. 

Auth != write access

You could onboard a user, set up signer and auth in the future with email.

ah yes but @adrienne is specifically asking about the permission to cast or edit profile

supercast (which adrienne recently onboarded on) asks for a signer approval only after you attempt writing to the protocol

you can generate a signer at the time of account creation and thats what warpcast does 

supercast likely doesnt ask for a separate signer action if you create a new account on supercast
