Farcaster Devs

I wish we could create FIDs without paying for storage. It would make it much cheaper to onboard new users in "readonly" experiences and take advantage of the FC Identity layer across other use-case.

There's no value to an FID without storage?

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

In order for an FID to interact without frames, you still need the FID + signer. So there's onchain cost.

This is true today, but what if you're building an app that is truly FC-native and want to experiment with unlocking new ways to onboard new non-FC users.

Image a client that is essentially readonly except the ability to interact with frames until some point in the user journey when paying for storage is justified.
