An update on protocol priorities going into 2025. 

We think a lot of interesting things are going to be built onchain soon. Farcaster should be the programmable and credibly neutral social network that brings users, developers and blockchains together. 

But what does this mean tangibly?

Very cool idea, I think the general idea space of direct cast ai agents is underexplored

Warpcast Wallet and Rewards aren't available to users in some regions. 

We're a US-based company and are required to follow US laws and regulations. Here is the list of countries that we cannot offer the wallet and rewards program to.

Warpcast will remove "likely to be spam" accounts from follow counts soon. 

Likes and recasts from spammy accounts have been removed from counts for several weeks. We're now going to remove follow counts from these accounts as well.

This is rolling out now! 

May see some funkiness for a few hours as we update the counts for all. users but by the end of the day, your follower counts will not include anyone who has been labelled "likely to be spammy"

Does anyone in the Optimism community use PRBMath or some of my other EVM libraries?

I wonder if I should apply for Retro Funding: Dev Tooling

It's happening. Dan said Warplet in a team meeting today.

Warpcast wallet is now rolling out to all users! 

If you're in the beta group and have run into bugs, please reply and let us know.

You may need to restart the app to get it.

Warpcast wallet just rolled out to 10,000 users who were active in the last month!

this frame is pretty neat. 

only wish i could mint an nft with these traits.

I am pausing my activity on Warpcast for the foreseeable future due to the current issue with large number of bots.

Recent posts over the past few months have received hundreds of likes and recasts coming mostly from bots.

We did a deep dive into this today. Main takeaways:

1. The "bots" are humans and we catch a lot of them. 

2. They target famous accounts like @zachxbt a lot more often. 

3. They're evolving to only like/recast spamming

This is dangerous precedent. We should not normalize invasions and gaslight the invaded.
