Farcaster

Work in progress

Visualizing the Farcaster stack

Why “What’s the ticker?”

Easiest way for me to test out the long tail of token links and pages. Allows us to fix any bugs.

Thanks in advance!

basically this irl

Pro Tip: Tuesdays around 1pm Pacific is a perfect time to launch something onchain.

Warpcast Rewards get sent starting at 8:30am Pacific and finish around 1pm Pacific.

1,000 hyper active Farcaster users with a funded wallet and a propensity to talk about what their doing onchain.

Warpcast

A few thoughts on the wallet

1. We’re still testing it! Expect a bunch of rough edges. But we will fix and iterate. Starting with a ~1000 people and expanding from there. 

2. Goal is to make onchain actions reliable and smooth directly from the feed—frames and token links

3. There’s a bunch of new surface area to explore given all of the social context; but focused on getting the basics shipped and working well

4. Important — there’s no private key export yet; you don’t have to use the wallet if you don’t want to.

5. You can continue to use Rainbow or Coinbase Wallet via deeplinks (via MWP); there’s a preferred wallet toggle in settings.

6. It’s been a full team effort, but a big shout out to @blockheim @deodad @horsefacts.eth @gabrielayuso.eth and then everyone who has been giving feedback

New Antares factory / office in Torrance

Micro nuclear reactors will be built here

Figured worth making my recent-ish policy explicit: if you're unnecessarily negative, I'm just going to unfollow you. I don't have time to spend fighting.

Criticism and feedback are welcome; but it's possible to provide both without unnecessary amounts of negativity.

Reply with a hobby (-ies) you spend 5+ hours a week on.

How we started This Week in Farcaster as an onchain brand, using:
- /splits Teams, naturally
- @paragraph 
- @ensdomains 
- @farcaster, of course!
- @streamm 

Next up will be @pods, once we get some infrastructure choices sorted 🎙️

https://splits.org/blog/onchain-brand-stack/

Our priorities this week -- they remain the same

1. Better onchain UX in frames

2. Improved invite flow / cheaper sign ups

3. Snapchain

4. App performance / bug fixes

frames-v2

More tokens should have a 1st-party frame

Moxie pioneered this with v1 and DCs, but I think Frames v2 offer a powerful way for tokens to convert holders into DAU.

1. Reward users for installing and opening your frame 1x a day

2. Send notifications daily to remind people

3. When they open the frame, surface important announcements

4. A large user base opening up a frame every day offers opportunities for partnerships and additional monetization (e.g. ads, offers, other airdrops)

Compare:

"We have 1,000,000 unique addresses holding our token"

"We have 1,000,000 DAU users"

You might be eligible for an airdrop 👀

If you don’t like the “make money” consumer value prop for Farcaster—what do you think is better?
