2. Social

Search Improvements — DC & Cast Search significantly improved 

Verifications:
- Goal: make it easy for devs to find users who are valuable to target
   - Current scores are maybe a bit more spam-focused, this helps verify you're a real person in a way that has some "POW" attached
- Supporting Github, Discord & LinkedIn (20k discord, 19k GH, 161k X, 95k phone)
- Explored Worldcoin, need native SDK
- Removed scoring, need to rethink how this works

Topic Based Discovery — seeing if LLMs can be used to categorize casts and pull out unique categories to help discovery(*could* make a personalized Explore page kinda like X)

Experiment: Weekly Kudos —  sending a small tip/gift to your friend, could espc. be powerful for new users who haven't earned crypto before

1. Crypto

Wallet:
   - Focus is still growing usage — over 70,000 funded embedded Warpcast wallets.
    - Separately kicking off an audit on the mobile wallet
    - Exploring the ideas both of a web wallet and Solana support

Frames:
   - More natural discovery, unique frame launches closer to like 35k people now, more volume more transactions
  - Working through changing the name to mini apps
  - Releasing a new Mini Apps docs page very soon(LLM friendly) as well as some developer tooling for scaffolding/testing mini apps

Airdrops:
   - Believe there's a cool opportunity to have airdrops where devs can find users in a more targeted way and lead them towards actions(Bracky is a great example of this) -- and better UX than was previously available
   - Small note as well about the Jam airdrop/incident, and continuing to work on more DD for future airdrop plans
