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.

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?

What does Farcaster look like in the near term? At some point this summer: 1. Coinbase Wallet will have a Farcaster-powered feed in their mobile app with millions of existing users. This will be the most significant increase to practical decentralization of the protocol since the beginning. 2. Our app will be called Farcaster. Easy to explain to the average person—"download Farcaster in the App Store". 3. Sign ups for most people will be free. Link your X / Twitter account and no payment required. 4. Wallet will be available on web. And thanks to auth addresses, no more "please open your phone to continue using this mini app". 5. Wallet and mini apps will expand their support to multiple chains. If there's an interesting app in crypto, the goal will be to have it play nicely with Farcaster. 6. We're going to continue scaling our weekly reward programs: iterating on casting and building mini apps, but we're also working on a new version of the invite program that rewards referrals AND retention.

Average mini app UX should start with as few buttons and UI elements as possible. CarPlay UX is a good starting point, and then slowly add functionality. https://www.google.com/search?&q=carplay+ui&udm=2 Of course there are plenty of instances, e.g. games, where the UI is denser and more complicated.

Priorities this week 1. Crypto — improvements to mini apps and continuing work on web wallet; expanded wallet to more countries 2. Onboarding — working on infra for free sign ups, visual overhaul for sign up flow, a revamp to invites (moving to "referrals") and improved "follow 10 people" flow; thinking about new direction for creator onboarding post FarCon 3. Protocol upgrades — improvements to Snapchain, auth addresses There are no other priorities. See many of you at FarCon!

Near-term changes to help Farcaster grow Everything below will help make it easier for people who hear about Farcaster to get started as quickly as possible and hopefully stick around. 1. Likely rebranding Warpcast to Farcaster; no final decision and if/when that's made we will have a clear public plan / communication 2. Base is launching a Farcaster feed in Coinbase Wallet to their millions of existing users 3. Improving cross-client and web client UX for Sign in with Farcaster and mini apps through "auth addresses"; for the average user that don't need to know anything about this other than they won't be constantly prompted to open their phone when using mini apps 4. Sign ups for most people will be free 5. Post sign up, helping new users get the most relevant feed based on their interests; we will also help them fund their wallet 6. Better sharing for mini apps — links that render nicely on other social media and in messaging apps, automatic deeplinking into apps 7. Warpcast Wallet on web
