🧵taking live notes from today’s farcaster dev call!

as always it seems like the top priority is growth, but rn this is moreso growth for channels(@dwr.eth has been talking to folks about this)

rough preview in the screenshot for channel invites(as opposed to a more user focused model like Bluesky’s starter packs)

building /cortex, hacking /farhack, yapping /dylan | dylansteck.com

transactions

- working internally on the new version of frames that was shared the other week(app frames), goal is to have a revised spec by the end of the week
- prototyping embedded wallet transaction experience for users without a connected wallet(and MWP continued to be support)

note: the current frame model will still be supported as well

^contd, two cool use cases/motivations dan brought up here
- making it easy for someone to claim their warpcast rewards if they don’t already have one
- making transactions even easier for new users who, in the next bull run, will see a ton of stuff to do onchain on their feed then want to take action on it

DCs 

shipped beta version of group APIs, if you want to play around with that or have any other feedback make sure to reach out to @gabrielayuso.eth

Reducing Sign Up Costs

Spam model is stable, plan is to propose reducing sign up cost within the next month

Hubs

- Shipped both location and X verifications to hubs/the protocol
- Snapchain update: happy on design and now heads down building snapchain(repo on GH, will find the link), want a super simple alpha version then will go from there

And as a last note for the call, if you’re looking to build App Frames make sure to reach out to @deodad!

feeds 

continuing to run a/b tests, no crazy changes to report rn

also some notes re: algo vs reverse chron feed, what other apps like Threads saw on Election Day, etc

focusing on the best experience, other feeds are opportunities for other clients
