Base

“Coinbase Wallet” should be “Base App”

Having a piece of infrastructure and a specific client implementation share name removes credence from the infra actually being an open platform.

Imagine if the web was called "the Microsoft Internet", and Microsoft released a browser named "Microsoft Internet Explorer". Would you have built on that web?

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).

I take it you’d be against Warpcast rebranding to Farcaster then:
