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
More on the follow/unfollow channel API spec
