Ordering - a new sync model
Sheer number of messages syncing is getting large
The FIP work might be taking a bit longer but think this can not only make sync a lot easier but also make debugging any future sync errors easier
FIP: https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/193
SIWF — Dan / Connor / Piril
Reduced size of URLS to make the QR code easier
Done for now but if were to do more, would:
add the 8 char code in Warpcast
think about moving to EdDSA, would make it easier for apps like Supercast to be web companion
Public Blocking
Users you block
Can’t quote cast or reply to you in Warpcast
Won’t show up in your feed
Blocks(unlike mutes) are public, available over an API
Notes on blocks
Not a full block since Farcaster is decentralized(eg use another client), mainly makes it harder to see content on WC
Need to do more in WC so the person you blocked can’t fully see your content

Boosts
Have been thinking about how to reward good content, espc newer accounts & Boosts is a first experiment in this direction
Selecting small accounts(<10k followers) who are casting — 10 of them given out per day and the distribution lasts for 24 hours
Collecting a bunch of stats on if this ups your following/views/etc, will share the results eventually
Caster Rewards
Warpcast is giving $5(USDC on Base) a day to the top 100 casters through the end of the year
Filters out engagement from spammy accounts, more bias towards “known good” accounts
Explore
Continuing to add new apps, over 150 apps and 50 submissions to go through
Bunch of requests for media and non-app creations, still exploring that(if media is a frame, easy to add to Explore today)
Added the FlappyCaster experiment, composer action but right in the Explore Page
Dan’s very interested to see what would wanna build, highly encourage to reach out
Will help inform if they should essentially work on a mini-app platform here
MWP - Dan/Horsefacts/Piril
Horsefacts has been working on integrating Rainbow
There are a few Mobile Wallet Protocol(MVP) and Coinbase Wallet changes underworks to help support this & further wallet connection support overall, but Coinbase is committed to making this work
Excited to have not only better wallet connection but also another wallet option
