Trying something new -- text-to-video AMA about Farcaster

Ask any question about Farcaster -- protocol, strategy, priorities, Warpcast product -- nothing is off the table.

I'll let the questions accumulate today, weighted by reactions.

Will answer a good chunk of the questions in a video tonight.

supercast

new supercast release is live

no new features, just ux improvements

as supercast wallet is coming closer, i want to focus more on mobile ux

so for this release i made sure you can properly navigate the feed, properly display the embed, properly interact with frames etc

not a huge release but very satisfying since losing position in feed was #1 bug report since the beginning of supercast

now i will be able to go through all the notifications and reply on supercast mobile as well

more improvements and features coming next week, and the degen airdrop is coming tomorrow!

Love the consistent week over week improvements

Now you can write reasonably-performant STARK proving code that runs on your GPU, in python! Below is the full arithmetization of poseidon.

I welcome others taking this and running with it.

Genuinely curious -- do this QR code scan for you?

Works for me first try on 4 different test devices.

The team has been making steady, behind-the-scenes improvements to Hubs and the protocol.

Not out of the woods yet, but the team has scaled Hubs significantly.

And we have a public dashboard related to Warpcast's sync to Hub performance here:

Somehow I absolutely love this most recent SSC post:

I feel like the best of pre-2020 Scott is back. Also, his takedown of the first person to reply to him in the comments is just excellent.

Big appreciation to all working on wallet security, account abstraction, dapp security, anti-fraud, etc

The real alpha is not in getting 8% APR instead of 5% APR, it's making sure you don't get -100% APR.
