The simplest version of making your channel membership more open will be through a frame.

1. Pin the frame as the top cast in your channel

2. A user who isn't a member can click on the frame

3. Frame calls relevant APIs — token-gating, spam filtering, etc. — and the immediately invites any qualifying user to the channel.

4. So while there won't be a formal "request to join channel" built-in to Warpcast, the design allows for any developer to build channel gating software on day 1. 

5. This can also be used in conjunction with other moderation software (since we will now allow up to 10 moderators per channel). Use one tool for membership gating and another content moderation (if that's what you want to do), and use the other 8 moderation slots for people heavily invested in your community.

Here's the concept for an open source frame that would do this.

Make it configurable for developers to start. And then easy enough for someone comfortable with Claude or Replit.

Then eventually make a full fledged no code tool.

False state doesn't have to have a token involved. Could just say you're not invited.

can defiinitely visualize this.   

i'll just share that this is why i don't generally voice any initial reactions and wait to see the entire plan.    

some reservations that i had about needing to invite people to cast in channels are being quickly brushed aside by the team...

trust, but verify...

full sack developer intern at /farcards /mintclub warpcast.tools 🔫 my code breaks things :( 


Sending this off to those devs to hopefully ship something plug-and-play for us artists and no coders.

Would this also add some sort of visual label to mods, followers, subs, ...(roles)
Similar to discord or reddit?

Now this is a concept of a plan that I can get behind

is there an element of this then with let’s say ‘Call OpenRank’ and the ‘If true’ is ranking > 5,000 let’s say, then the user can join automatically?

This looks closer to a plan than a concept

Hmm have this for frames gated content, could just enhance it. And one learning: it’s important to check if the bot was able to deliver his message! 

And a cron job for revoking could be useful.
