Update: 
Starting marketcap on @zora is now $22 (~60x lower)

This includes:
+ Improving liquidity across the market
+ More expensive to snipe large amounts
+ More posts getting more volume (not just viral ones)

We'll keep working getting this as low and liquid as possible.

Here's a way to think about this:  

Zora is creating markets to discover the true value of content. 

Most pieces of content are worth non-zero but not thousands of dollars.  

So actually we need to get this as low as possible over time for efficient markets.

PSA: be aware of phishing emails and fake claim websites for $zora. 

We have not announced any new details since the original tweet and we’ll only have messaging from our official @zora account and product channels.

How are we making Farcaster easier to understand for new people

1. We're still considering rebranding Warpcast (back) to Farcaster. If we do that, will have an FIP. It will be controversial, but initial feedback from most developers actively building on the protocol is they are a supportive (with the goal of increasing users on the protocol). To be clear: this is not final /decided.

2. We rebranded frames to mini apps. This is a more literal name and in line with other popular ecosystems like Telegram. This is easier to understand for new developers.

3. We're gradually deprecating warps. We here this feedback a lot—what are warps and why do I need them—and moving most of the functionality of warps to USDC is much simpler (as well as being more composable).

4. We're working on cheaper / free sign ups. A lot of potential good new users churn at the $3 to sign up screen. Our goals are to 1) make it cheaper at the protocol for other apps and 2) free on Warpcast with a verification (we pay the protocol).

The name reversion FIP is going to be the greatest bikeshedding event in farcaster history

We have an AMA with @jacob (cofounder of Zora) next Fri April 18th at 2pm ET! One of the most creative builders in crypto

i’m pretty jealous of ancient philosophers

they really benefited from all the low hanging platitudes 

like damn i’m in competition against the whole internet for one iota of originality and they got famous for bangers like:

“what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” or “patience is a virtue”

This reminded me of a thought train in how generalizable proof of work mining is as a concept. 

A new territory, market or field opens up and doing the easy and obvious is super valuable in the long term. 

New thoughts and concepts are as easy as mining bitcoin on a laptop in 2010.

Trad finance will become more like crypto than crypto will trad finance. 

Just like traditional media had to become more like social media, not the other way around.

I'm sympathetic to the developer neutrality point, but there is now a provably permissionless stack, the tech is credibly neutral. This wasn't the case a few years ago.

Also first and foremost the whole ecosystem dies if Farcaster/Warpcast does so it's important to bring in new users and grow—which is what is actually most important to developers.

It's also worth noting in the context of renaming Warpcast to Farcaster that the Farcaster stack is permissionless, so there is credible neutrality where it matters.

I'd bet renaming Warpcast to Farcaster would have a non-trivial impact on growth.

1. Improved onboarding conversion due to reduced confusion
2. The name is just better
3. One name instead of two names is gud

Putting the vibes based perspective (Farcaster is simply better) to the side for a moment.

It's probably hard to understate the impact on new user acquisition and general conversion rate for new users.

Any % improvements gained compounds greatly over time and impacts overall growth. And it comes for basically free.

just tipped my 61 of my favorite farcasters!

Narrative violation:  

Actually it does in fact matter to the market if the coin is from the creator or not.

The @zora coin from the original creator just flipped the stolen one on pump.

This also shows that Base does in fact have traders and demand as well.
