Introducing Token Links

Try it now: $degen, $tn100x, $higher, $moxie, $anon

- Mention a token with a leading $, it turns into a link
- Tap link to see top tokens by market cap and recent casts
- Links to Dexscreener and copy contract address
- Working in casts and profiles
- Already on the protocol; just enriching text in casts

Future ideas
- Smarter algo for casts (expect a bit of spam this week)
- Additional info and metrics for traders
- Farcaster social graph signals
- Customization for token creators
- Tie-in with frames and onchain transactions

Known issues
- If token links aren't linkifying, update your app and restart 1-2x
- Casts are slow to load; making that faster
- Token links don't work in DCs or the composer yet
- Sorting by market cap may result in non-FC native assets ahead of FC-native ones, e.g. $anon

Reminder: you can mute all token links by adding $ to your mute words on Warpcast

Maybe this should also work for contract addresses and transaction hashes?

I wonder if there are any novel ways to display them inline so it's not just a long string of characters

The typical 0xab…cd works, but it’s also not pretty. Maybe the last few of it? Yeah it’s a bit weird to try and fit it

Yes, this sort of truncation of long hex strings 👍, and put it in monospace font. Plus if it's an address, the "blockies" identicon (and/or ENS avatar image) as a visual thumbnail.
