WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH CHANNELS?

1. Channels aren’t going anywhere anytime soon

2. Our priority is growth; we’re working on a) improving onchain UX with frames + wallet (network differentiation) b) invites + rewards (increase daily actives users) c) protocol improvements to support new clients bringing their own users (increase daily actives users) d) creator onboarding (increase daily active users)

3. Channels, historically, have not driven growth; channels, however, have helped deepen engagement and retention for existing power users.

4. Given limited resources (i.e. focus), we don’t have near term plans to add features to channels.

5. However, nearly all aspects of channels are programmable via a) the protocol b) Warpcast open / free APIs. If there is demand, we may also prioritize making channel registration available API. Note: moving all channels metadata to the protocol is a lot of work that wouldn’t drive near-term growth.
