Verify your X account You can now connect a X (Twitter) account on Warpcast and it will show up on your profile. We’re going to experiment with using this as a signal to give users more reach on the app. Should be rolling out to all users now.

One of the challenges for new users is that before they write their first casts, we don't know whether they're spammy or not. Connecting other socials gives us more signals to determine whether you're a real person, which lets us give you a better "first cast experience"

If this experiment works, we're also going to make this data available to other apps to use in their own spam filtering. We'll likely release an API first and then a protocol level change to support verified accounts.

I think this is a good opportunity to test other reputation models / proof of humanity, particularly interesting to see zk passport / zk id models being used to prove that you are a human

love this idea. Another more crypto-native option would be to allow users (and third parties on their behalf) to stake. Can withdraw stake at any time, but if merkle deems spammy in the meantime the stake can be slashed? After you build up some non-spammy reputation, can withdraw the stake and continue as normal

how does it work in practice? when a new user casts for the first time, warpcast reads the connected X profile and assigns a probability whether user is spam or not?

besides X, are you considering any other signals? stuff like talent passport, etc.

In my book, if they have an X account, and link it proudly, they are immediately sus.
