An update on protocol priorities going into 2025. 

We think a lot of interesting things are going to be built onchain soon. Farcaster should be the programmable and credibly neutral social network that brings users, developers and blockchains together. 

But what does this mean tangibly?

*Who wants to land this update for Warpcast for Rewards frame?*

Upgrade to 0.0.20 and disable the safe area inserts. I'll review and approve if done today. (Will implement it myself if no one gets to it today)

My parents generally assumed anything that was a cartoon was OK for kids to watch and let me watch this as a youngin. 

Had nightmares for weeks.

we’ve been working on a big update for channels - launching first week of Jan 2025.

we’re going to help channels become autonomous communities using Cura. 
Channels will have:
- their own wallet
- leaderboard of top contributors (great launch by warpcast)
- automatically distribute rewards to top contributors
- launch and distribute channel tokens
- channel apps (v2 frames) for landing page, leaderboard and curated content and feeds

big update for channel owners from the cura team!

The frames.js debugger now supports fully local debugging of v2 frames (including webhooks!)

npx @frames.js/debugger@latest

Huge thanks to @mskr for getting this shipped! It’s still a bit rough around the edges, so please share feedback

Be sure to toggle it in the protocol selector when debugging v2 frames

What are your biggest annoyances about cast threads in Farcaster? 

Known: composing threads on web.

Whenever I come back to India, it takes a little to adjust to how everything is time shifted by +2-3 hours. 

Lunch is often close to 2pm, dinner isn't until at least 8pm and bed time is often close to midnight. 

I wonder why some cultures lean early vs. late.

We've been working on improving our spam detection. 

A big source of alpha has been taking algos used to rank content on the web and modifying them to work in Farcaster-space. 

@akshaan and @notawizard collaborated to add: 
- PageRank 
- Hyperlink Induced Topic Search 
- Louvain Clustering

Good q from @koeppelmann.eth  - what is the metric you would use to measure ETH's success?

poll3choice_text_only

If you would need to define only one metric that should measure Ethereums sucess - which would you pick?

Not sure how well Ciri will do as the player character.

Geralt made the story telling great  as a Bale-like Batman who doesn’t take up much of the stage the stage and lets the villains and side characters shine.

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

Here is the code needed to make a Next.js app with wagmi into a basic v2 frame https://github.com/gskril/ens-governor-app/compare/gskril:9e29d71...gskril:3ec3be7

Building @warpcast and @farcaster, new dad, like making food

Want: a paragraph v2 frame where you can "install" a blog and get notifications when a new post is written. 

Would subscribe to @fredwilson.eth's paragraph. cc @colin 

h/t @deodad for the idea

What is this and why can’t I stop listening to it
