Why wallet? Better UX in an app you use every day Make onchain actions reliable and smooth directly from the feed—frames and token links. No app switching or deeplink bugs. Automatic onboarding New users don’t need to download a separate app—it’s already there when you sign up. If you get a reward, a $degen tip or an airdrop in your first week, it just works. “Singapore of crypto” Today, Farcaster is much smaller than web2 social networks. However, if the % of active users *with funded wallets* is really high, we have a near term opportunity to be a “small-population-but-high-GDP country”. Developers can permissionlessly launch a frame, have it appear on Farcaster clients that have integrated wallets. “Get to your first 10,000 transactions by launching on Farcaster”. Yes, you can launch on other networks, but their algos hate links and the drop off from seeing something in a feed to website to wallet is going to be high.

A few other points 1. We think choice is important. You don't have to use the wallet. We support other wallets like Rainbow and CBW via MWP. We may add other wallets in the future. 2. We want other crypto wallets to integrate Farcaster. Warpcast losing market share means other apps are offering a better UX / functionality. That's 100% a positive thing for the protocol.

Since you mentioned other networks deprioritize posts with links I assume Farcaster does not?

Q that is probably not as important as I'm making it in my mind: Is the wallet a function of Warpcast or Farcaster? I THINK I know the answer, but I don't actually know the answer.

I wrote this before reading this post. I’m genuinely curious where ownership of identity is going to go. All my concerns are addressable with tech but I’m also not sure if the concerns are well founded. I see UX issues too but again, can be addressed. https://warpcast.com/typeof.eth/0x58aad606

Pretty happy with it so far, nice touch having the Warpcast rewards go directly to the wallet.

I just invited my sister to warpcast and she was looking to switch from Mercado Pago to a self custody wallet. Would warpcast wallet be friendly enough for her?

When will you deploy the wallet to other users? May we have a waitlist program?

I remember building V1 frames and one of the pain points would be a user who didn't have any connected addresses to receive an NFT or something like that. Beyond that, it's such a better experience to load up a native wallet like a gift card and use it seamlessly. Had no idea I needed this feature until I had it 👏

I'm not seeing the wallet available in the Warpcast app but I do see `fund wallet` when I click the halo of a user here. The click does nothing. Is this rolling out to users in stages?
