Leverage the social context!

You’re building inside a social network - don’t waste that context.

- Pull in usernames, avatars, and bios from their FC profiles.
- Show activity feeds: “your friends just did X.”
- Add leaderboards, badges, and stats - competition fuels engagement.

Create Sharable Moments!

Make it effortless and fun for users to cast what’s happening.

- Add a “Share to Warpcast” button at key moments.
- Embed the mini-app URL in the cast.

Example:
- Mint an NFT → Share it in the feed
- Play Game → Share score

Design for Feed Virality!

Your mini-app should look good in the feed - that’s where new users will discover it.

- Make the preview image eye-catching and legible in small format.
- Include social proof directly in the preview (e.g., avatars of active users, usage stats).

Example: Farville
