What's happening with Warps? 

Warps aren't going away anytime soon, but in the long run they will. 

Warps were added two years ago because doing things x-chain was hard. By funding Warps, you had a single USDC like balance that could be spent on any chain easily.

We're not quite there yet, and so today you'll still need warps for buying invites and channels on Warpcast.

On another note, gifting with warps will go away soon. 

It's primarily used by spammers to recycle funds for invites between accounts. Most real users have switched to USDC or don't use it that much anyway.

X-chain infra has improved a lot thanks to services like @pw's Reservoir. 

In the next 1-3 years we'll reach a point where doing things x-chain is cheap, fast and reliable. When that happens, we won't need warps anymore and we'll deprecate them in favor of USDC.

What will happen to channel creation when they go away? I believe there’s an annual fee to renew channels right now, but it’s unclear to me what will happen with that. I definitely don’t want to lose access to the channels I manage. We’re also managing the Stellar channel on Warpcast -- are we going to use USDC for the fees instead in the future? I feel like this would be rather a simple implementation if that's the case.

how do you swap / sell the Warps? remember you casting it some time back!!!

Fine. Cashed em out but already miss them
