Important updates about things happening in Farcaster

Introducing Trending Topics Algorithmic collections of casts about topics people are talking about. They update a few times per day. Mobile only to start. Update to the latest version of Warpcast from the your app store and restart your app 1-2x. Topics will appear on the search tab and in your feed while you're scrolling. We’re running this as an experiment in Warpcast for the next couple months. --- > Are these channels? Trending topics **are not** channels. They are collections casts about a popular topic identified by an AI-powered algorithm. Channels have no bearing on trending topics. > Are the topics on the protocol? The casts themselves are on the protocol but the categorization and feeds are generated by Warpcast. There are developer tools like @mbd that can provide this for your app.

We're planning to move forward with rebranding the Warpcast mobile and web app to Farcaster. 1. Nothing is changing any time soon. We will take our time with this and have plenty of communication about it across multiple channels. The earliest the change will happen is mid-May, but a decent chance it happens in June. 2. We're going to work on a plan over the next 2 weeks and should have a plan by the next developer call on May 8, 2025. We will discuss on the call. 3. For developers: we're planning to open source the client monorepo— i.e. the mobile and web apps. Again, no timeline on this yet.
