so proud of how fast the @base.base.eth and /coinbase teams shipped since frame friday. over the weekend, we've shipped: 1. grants for based frames 2. pizza for frame hackers 3. simple utilities for frame builders in onchainkit 4. a based frame guide and tutorial 5. a frame builder chat absolutely unreal. links in thread.

Just added support for Zora Sepolia as well! (might need to hard refresh, or request drip and back to main screen for cache to refresh) https://learnweb3.io/faucets

Starting today, Farcaster sign ups for US-based users are free on Warpcast. Scan the QR code or share with a friend to get started:

Sharing some random thoughts on Frames, after having launched the @paragraph subscribe one yesterday

fun fact: the Frame NFT mint is powered by slice, the onchain commerce protocol. in fact you can find it also here. each mint is actually a purchase on this store, which in turn mints an nft to the correct farcaster user. and yes, soon you will all be able to do it as well. slice.so/slicer/slice

hate the faristocracy? now is your time to turn it into the farcaster democracy. choose their fate by voting in round 1 below. better vote @robot as based if you want a dynamic faristocracy NFT 😏 faristocracy-frame.vercel.app/

For those hacking on Frames this weekend, we just added a Frames category so that you can see all Frame-related bounties / grants There are prizes from Base, Zora, Airstack, Pinata, Henri at Privy, and request for products funded by Farcaster users https://www.bountycaster.xyz/?tag=tag-frames

absolutely wild night on farcaster. I woke up to - over 1k followers - 1200 gifted warps (thank you! 💙) - Frame NFT collection of 1k units fully minted out - over 250 subs to /commerce - massive spike on slice.so so much to share, but let me just say that native onchain experiences on farcaster are here

Every weekend is like Christmas here on Warpcast We gather together, play around with gifts/features, and share optimism towards the future

be careful with this one viral-cast-frame.vercel.app/messages/2

this week in farcaster

Feature Friday: Farcaster Frames! Frames turn casts into interactive apps. Use frames to build polls, feeds, galleries and more. - Two frame apps are launching later today - You can create your frames right now (see reply) Frames are still in beta, but you can share feedback and AMA today!

this might be the most important thing we ship in 2024

New on Warpcast: share a cast as an image Avoid the algo nerf for links on X / Twitter — click the kebab menu on a cast to get a shareable image of the cast (with a bit of Farcaster purple).

New settings for Warpcast group chat invite links - Limit to people you are following - Limit to Active Badge - Limit to NFT holders NFT holder feature (i.e. token-gating) works with any OpenSea collection URL. Settings are live on mobile; will be on web soon.

going through FarCon applications (first wave of approvals comes out feb 6!) and there is one overwhelming theme: friendship and community. the internet strangers to real friends pipeline is a phenomenon that is somewhat unique to farcaster. we may grow out of it as the protocol scales, so cherish the opportunity now.

I'm excited to announce the first /AMA on /politics. @512mace kindly agreed to answer questions about Stand With Crypto. It will be on Friday, January 26.
