Verify your X account

You can now connect a X (Twitter) account on Warpcast and it will show up on your profile. 

We’re going to experiment with using this as a signal to give users more reach on the app. 

Should be rolling out to all users now.

One of the challenges for new users is that before they write their first casts, we don't know whether they're spammy or not. 

Connecting other socials gives us more signals to determine whether you're a real person, which lets us give you a better "first cast experience"

If this experiment works, we're also going to make this data available to other apps to use in their own spam filtering. 

We'll likely release an API first and then a protocol level change to support verified accounts.

You’re just using OAuth right?

So there’s a trust assumption on whoever makes the api request. This is way to start no doubt.

We can help do it trustlessly and put onchain with ens association.

Oh, and if Twitter rugs your api access we can help 🫡

Not a huge priority right now — most people are fine trusting I think
