GA, taking notes from today's biweekly Farcaster Dev Call, which I'm sure is going to be an exciting one! 

Seems like two big focuses today will be 
- priorities going into 2025
- Frames

The Merkle team has three main focuses: Social, Crypto, and Protocol

Crypto
- Frames
    - v2 spec in [early draft](https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/205)
    - v1 will be unaffected
- Wallet
    - Think that embedded wallet is kinda necessary for mobile txns, espc across other clients
    - Exploring ways to add this to help onchain txns

frames v2 spec is looking beautiful not gonna lie, a few new things that stand out to me are:
- being able to add frames to an app page for quicker access
- being able to opt in to notifications that you can see in the notifications tab
- enhanced transaction flow/modal that's staring to look a lot closer like / at parity with some top wallets imo

really pumped to use and build on frames v2!!

Frames v2 highlights

- Frames as a full screen app
- Streamlined transaction flow
- Making frames less ephemeral
    - Can add a frame to a frames 'homepage'
    - That frame can send you notifications 

Some more highlights/details in the cast below:

Helpful context from the chat re: the client SDK for Frames v2, looks like it'll be a TypeScript package like some other "mini app platforms"

Final notes on Frames v2! Shipping timeline:

- Goal to have another close to complete draft & some test playground for testing frame v2 tomorrow(not fully feature complete)
- Next week plan to build internal prototype and get working E2E in Warpcast & feels good, will probably take another spec revision
- Then the week __after__ want to partner building ~5 frames, if anyone else interested reach out in test playground
- And once that's done, by like week of Dec 2 or so, should be good

Social

- Feed
    - Seeing uptick in spam, spending time retraining spam model
- Quality of life improvements
    - Working on improving image and media uploads(epsc on larger iPhones with larger videos)
    - Numerous performance fixes, page loads, app crashes

Protocol

- Snapchain
    - All resources on [Snapchain](https://www.notion.so/Snapchain-v2-Public-10e6a6c0c101807aadfacbcddda8ce4f?pvs=21), targeting functional alpha in December
