Priorities
1. Growth
Channels
Collecting user feedback, planning to pursue onboarding, requests and decentralization
Feeds
Improving relevance by running a series of experiments and investigations
Transactions
Mini-app transactions are now live (docs)
Thinking through approaches to building more usable wallets in apps.
Thinking through a unifying design for frames, mini-apps, actions.
Mini apps potentially as place to take more frame-based actions, also easier than another set of domain proxying for actions
2. Direct Casts
Shipped auto-expiring messages
Working on next set of developer APIs
3. Reducing Sign Up Costs
Protocol signups are $2, Warpcast is at $3

Prototyping graph based detection using fraudar and oddball with @notawizard
4. Hubs

Prototyping Snapchain consensus with Informal System’s malachite
Writing Snapchain overview doc covering all the cases
