Where we are and where we're going 1. Recently, we've seen a decent increase in daily active users (DAU). Between 200K and 300K users open Warpcast every month. This needs to be 10-100x greater for Farcaster to be sustainable. 2. We've also seen a lot of previously "churned" users reactivate on Farcaster. 3. We've significantly upgraded our developer UX with mini apps (formerly frames) and wallet. 70K+ funded wallets. 4. We've scaled our USDC rewards programs for content, mini apps and invites. $250K+ in USDC rewards and growing. 5. We've introduced a new series of verifications to help developers better understand users on the protocol. Over 150K+ users have at least one verification. 6. We've launched airdrop offers, allowing developers to target Farcaster users who use their apps via mini apps. 7. Snapchain is launching soon. It's a novel, blockchain-like distributed system that will allow us to scale the protocol for the next 10x. 8. We've grown the team by 50% since the start of the year. 1/3

these are incredible updates Dan, I'm glad to see that you're working on protocol and UX level upgrades in tandem it does feel like things need to be more cohesive, the narrative feels murky thinking as an outsider looking in... snapchain, farcaster, warpcast, + other protocols is the protocol migrating to snapchain?

also, would love to see Warpcast act as a hub for other apps built on Farcaster as well, not just mini-apps/frames but being able to add apps like Dracula or Abstract in a native-ish way would be cool that would make it feel less like other apps have to compete with Warpcast for mindshare, which is the reason I've seen some stop development
