Warpcast

Come build the most secure and private messaging network in the world—owned by the people who build it and use it.

I root for the Warpcast team. But I would appreciate an updated explanation why @xmtp is not our default IM/GC protocol (with all the nice things a deep integration with Farcaster could add).

Honest question, and I know very little about the XMTP design, so the answer may be very simple and I'm just missing it.

On the other hand, I could also ask why xmtp does not provide better integration with Farcaster. For example a way to use XMTP with my Farcaster custody wallet (can I?). Or populate my contacts and filter conversations using my Farcaster social graph.

xmtp is the protocol and they have many clients so it's not as simple as xmtp implementing all these features

you can create an xmtp account with your farcaster custody wallet, however a more interesting integration would be if the protocol let you create xmtp signers using farcaster signers (eddsa) instead of just an ethereum wallet

This is what I meant. Some changes at the protocol level to support FC integration. And then, it's up to the clients.
