First Snapchain block officially mined! 

Will be spending the next week backfilling all data to snapchain before it's ready to be used. `

Snapchain is launching soon! 

It's a blockchain like system that will be 10x - 100x faster than hubs and much more reliable when syncing between Farcaster apps. 

If you don't run a hub, no action is needed. If you do run a hub you will need to:  

- Set up a Snapchain node before Mar 29th 
- Cut over to reading / writing from your node before  Apr 12
- Shut down your hubs after Apr 15th

More details in next cast.

Verifications are opt-in, but through proof-of-work offer a non-biometric proxy version of proof-of-humanity. 

The more verifications (with publicly visible activity / history / reputation), the more likely you are to be human.

Useful for developers building on the protocol, projects targeting airdrops and even for understanding that your engagement is not coming from "bots".

Cash out Warps to USDC! 

Starting tomorrow, you'll be able to cash out warps that you've purchased into USDC in your warplet. 

This is a one-time promotion to make it easier to fund your warpcast wallet. You won't be able to cash out warps that you've received as a gift from others.

Warpcast Rewards

Making a few tweaks mid week to prevent algo gaming: 

- Only top 100 casts count towards score. 
- Only X engagements from a user will count (exact number tbd)

Most users will see a moderate decrease to scores, accounts that were gaming the system should see a larger decrease

we are building the future of the internet, right here, right now.

is it messy and weird and scary at times? yes absolutely. 

but couldn't imagine a better group of people to be doing it with.

Warpcast wallet is now rolling out to all users! 

If you're in the beta group and have run into bugs, please reply and let us know.

The Warpcast wallet is an important milestone.

I can’t believe it took~30 years of the web and ~15 years of crypto before we got a proper wallet integrated into a social app.

But we have it.

Now we can finally start turning all that time spent online into gradual accumulation of NFTs and coins. Both here and on other sites, using Farcaster integration.

Great work @v and @dwr.eth.

Our priorities this week

1. Onchain UX — wallet + frames
2. Growth — invites + rewards + spam algorithm
3. Snapchain
4. App performance / bug fixes
5. Creator outreach

⏰ Only a couple days left to submit your Pectra Proactive Grant Round proposal and strengthen the Ethereum ecosystem ahead of the upgrade!

Explore our focus areas & wishlist below for inspiration, then apply by February 23 🚀👇
