TLDR

APIs upgraded, adding notification priority and block handling. Kafka streams now embed metadata. Neynar React SDK growing. Neynar Explorer aids sync debugging, team management improved.

Hub Reliability

  • Gradual trend line where time to process has slowly been going up

    • Generally seeing increased load on things on Warpcast side

    • Made some fixes to bring them back down

  • Warpcast Status dashboard: status.warpcast.com

Ordering - a new sync model

  • Relevant links

  • Core beliefs

    • Decentralized, global state is necessary

    • Sync should be easy

    • Posting should be instant & without fees

    • Storage and bandwidth need constraints

    • Turing-completeness is undesirable

Channels

  • Focusing on as a top priority internally to figure out the pain points & stickiness

  • Moving more towards “cozy corners”

    • More membership oriented model — instead of a topic/hashtag that then has moderation, moving to a model where you’re explicitly inviting people to participate in channel

      • Easier for most folks to curate(like a group chat)

      • Still public though, the work people do to make it interesting can be shown on the protocol

    • Feed will move to more of a narrowcast model

    • Can also use token gating or even programmatically inviting

  • New auth model on Warpcast API that can be used for follows/unfollows in the short future

Deeplink to Composer Actions

  • Warpcast will trigger composer actions from a URL
