Farcaster

Poll on app / protocol name question Varun asked yesterday

Honestly? I would leave Warpcast as it is.

First of all, the name has already «taken root» - the community associates with it all the most active and lively things that happen on the network. It’s like changing the name of your favorite meme - you can, but why?

Secondly, the separation between Farcaster (protocol) and Warpcast (client) helps not to get confused. It’s easier to explain to beginners: «Farcaster is a network, Warpcast is an application». That’s it.

And thirdly, it sounds cool. Warp + cast = transmission of signals through space. There is a vibe. But if everything is called Farcaster, it will turn out to be a mess.

So I’m in favour of leaving Warpcast as a separate brand within the ecosystem.
