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

Farcaster team is cooking with gas right now. 

In the next 7 days:

1. Warpcast -> Farcaster rebrand
2. Auth addresses, no more “Open Warpcast on mobile” in mini apps
3. Spinning up a few targeted cohorts for creator onboarding
4. Launching 2 new ecosystems for wallet / mini apps
5. Another confirmed airdrop
6. Making progress on a big new thing, hopefully can share next week
7. A bunch of wallet / mini app QoL improvements

Flashblocks make Base 10x faster.

We're starting to test Flashblocks in a staged rollout on Base, reducing effective block times from 2 seconds to 200 milliseconds.

Builders can integrate Flashblocks on testnet today to prepare for the full rollout.

Uniswap v4 feels like crypto's first complete product. Uniswap v3 was already nearly there, which is one reason why while previous versions took ~1 year, v4 took 4 years. I can see additional functionality (e.g. unified liquidity) and responding to infra changes (e.g. quantum-resistant zkVMs) that will justify a v5, but the core purpose of this application now feels complete for the foreseeable future. What's remaining is now on the governance & social end. 

Aave v4 is the next candidate for a complete product. Interestingly, the applications are hitting final form years ahead of the infra they're built on, and in cases like Aave v4, being intertwined with infra itself.

(Side-note: of course, simple "products" like memecoins or USDT are "complete")
