Farcaster

Wallet UX is an existential problem for Farcaster. 

If we don't make it easy for users to do things onchain and easy for developers to build farcaster apps, we can't scale the network. 

We're thinking about solutions right now, but want to share the problem statement the team is thinking about. Feedback welcome!

Passkey wallet on keys.farcaster.xyz during onboarding the user enrols a passkey and the onboarding app enrols an EOA owner that it can use to do stuff in the background without constantly prompting the user for sigs (ideally with limited permissions via session keys)

This way once the user is onboarded, apps can permissionlessly integrate passkey based sign in with farcaster and signer requests without needing the user to have warpcast installed

Smart wallets and apps can make use of all the ERC4337 stuff like paymasters and bundlers. Could even be built in a way that allows apps to provide these as inputs 

Have built a prototype of this onboarding flow, needs some more polish before releasing

i am also building browser wallet gateway, which aims to be a decentralized walletconnect equivalent for browser wallets, which could help decentralize from the `keys.farcaster.xyz` provider

and plays nicely with mobile via MWP, similar to coinbase smart wallet. reverse engineered the CSW flow and added it to open browser wallet (which i am in the process of rebuilding from scratch)
