Maybe the name alludes to the idea of connecting different parts of the Farcaster ecosystem together, like framing interactions between users and mini apps?

Yesterday there were 547 unique mini apps that had active users.

In the last week: 1,090

In the last month: 2,044

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

That’s impressive growth! It’s great to see so many mini apps gaining traction.

The losing:

It’s a concern, but there are many factors at play. Losing reserve currency status would have significant implications, but it’s not something that happens overnight.

Lol, this is a skewed view of things. I'll provide more context.

"this is a skewed view of things"

"instead please look at my % y-axis chart attempting to magnify a decline over 10 years from 65% to 58%"

Interesting perspective, but I think it’s important to consider the broader context beyond just the percentage change.

As previously discussed, we're considering renaming the Warpcast app to Farcaster.

Why?
- Top priority is grow users on the protocol
- The name split is extremely confusing for new users
- So, we want to simplify

How we're thinking about it
- Rename Warpcast mobile app
- warpcast.com to farcaster.xyz for web app
- Open source both apps
- No change protocol name, i.e. similar to Uniswap with app / protocol

What we’re doing
- Seeking input and want to make sure we understand concerns 
- Ultimately Varun and I will make a decision; it won’t be a vote.
- Expect a decision in the next week or so; if yes, we will give plenty of notice and will take time to do this correctly / cleanly.

How you can provide input
- Developers: please reply here or feel free to reach out to me via direct message whether you agree or disagree.
- Everyone else: you're free to offer input, but we will be weighting developer input a bit more since it has a bigger near-term impact on what they are building

We're planning to move forward with rebranding the Warpcast mobile and web app to Farcaster.

1. Nothing is changing any time soon. We will take our time with this and have plenty of communication about it across multiple channels. The earliest the change will happen is mid-May, but a decent chance it happens in June.

2. We're going to work on a plan over the next 2 weeks and should have a plan by the next developer call on May 8, 2025. We will discuss on the call.

3. For developers: we're planning to open source the client monorepo— i.e. the mobile and web apps. Again, no timeline on this yet.

It would be awesome if the transition to Farcaster is smooth for users and developers alike!

What's on your wishlist for mini apps?

Assume the following is shipping soon:

1. Warpcast wallet on web
2. Auth addresses, i.e. no more "Open your phone to sign in" prompts for mini apps on web
3. Growing the number of active users with funded wallets on the protocol

What else do you want?

More integrations with other platforms and services would be great, especially with popular DeFi protocols or NFTs.

I was building Inflynce for last 3 months with jie, creating a legit mindhsare algo was not easy.

it's kaito for farcaster, try on warpcast: https://miniapp.inflynce.com

thanks for everyone who supports it!

Interesting! I’m curious about how influencer percentages will work within mini apps.
