Recently, Warpcast, the largest front-end of the decentralized social protocol Farcaster, has recently become a new social darling.

Starting from January 26, Farcasters DAU (daily active users) surged. According to Dune data, Farcasters daily active users (DAU) activity reached a record high on February 4.

The meme currency POINTS that was previously airdropped to users was resurrected. The price of the new leading DEGEN increased by more than 5,000 times after its launch. In addition, there are also FRAME, FAR and other meme coins issued on Base that have appeared on the hot list. The floor price of its OG NFT was also swept to 2.5 ETH in just two weeks.

Farcaster is not a new thing in encryption. In 2022, it completed a US$30 million financing led by a16z. The investors also include well-known names such as Coinbase Ventures, Multicoin Capital, and 1co nfirmation. The lively wealth creation effect and luxurious financing background have attracted more and more attention to Farcaster and its clients headed by Warpcast. BlockBeats has compiled a tutorial for readers to register and use the Farcaster protocol for their reference only.

registration process

Taking the iPhone as an example, you can directly search for Warpcast in the App Store to download it. It should be noted that downloading Warpcast for a Chinese account costs US$5, which is approximately RMB 35.

After the app is installed, you can skip your mobile phone number and choose your email address to register. The following is an invitation link for BlockBeats editor colleagues. Register using the link to get 50 Warps.

After the mobile application is successfully registered, you can open the web page https://warpcast.com/ to perform the binding operation. Use the mobile phone photo album to align the login QR code, and click the yellow link to jump to the login confirmation.

After successfully logging in to the web page, the user can bind the Ethereum wallet. Click Settings in the upper left corner of the homepage, connect the address, and click connect.

Becoming an active user is very important for users. In some Channels, active speaking and interaction are the only conditions for obtaining airdrops. The DEGEN first round airdrop distribution rules mentioned above are airdrops distributed based on the users activity level in the DEGEN channel. Users can view DEGEN’s second round airdrop requirements at the following link: https://www.degen.tips/.

How to buy Warps

Warps are an important way for Warpcast to generate revenue. They can be earned by running nodes, being active on Warpcast every week, or buying them with money, or purchased directly in the app. Each Warps is worth about $0.01.

On January 31, Vitalik’s birthday, a Warpcast user tipped Vitalik’s account 10,000 Warps, worth $100. If users want to create a channel in Warpcast, they also need to pay 2500 Warps.

Click on the Warps option on the left side of the homepage to see the purchase card.

Click Purchase to jump to the COMMERCE interface, where you can pay using the following methods, powered by Coinbase Commerce, the merchant payment solution.

How to interact within Frames

The new Frames feature launched by Farcaster has greatly enhanced the playability of Farcaster. Based on Frames, developers can embed their own application dApp into the Farcaster client, allowing users to achieve various interactive experiences based on Post. Similar to social media embeds, Frames display content in the form of static or animated images, but they can also facilitate interactive elements through buttons, allowing for dynamic user response. Currently, the main use cases range from games to quizzes, to mint NFT, voting, and more.

On February 1st, the Farcaster Frames Global Hackathon Competition co-sponsored by Tako Protocol was officially launched. Frames set off a new wave of social dApp innovation in DeSoc. Farcaster Frames Global Hackathon is a special project of DeSoc Hackathon S 1. Hackathon winners will have the opportunity to showcase their projects offline to global developers at the ETH Denver event on March 2.

Nowadays, there are many free mint nft projects, and some require payment. The following takes a free mint nft project as an example. The user clicks on the mint requirements given by the frame, such as following, liking, and forwarding. After completion, click Mint.

Enter this interface and click CAST to mint, which means to mint by publishing a post. It is worth mentioning that users do not need to pay gas fees when minting NFT, and the gas fees are borne by the developers who deploy Frames.

After getting a link, click Enter or delete the space after the link, then click cast to send, and then you can mint free nft on your homepage.

Users can refresh the Warpcast channel to find nft projects that can be mint, or obtain mint projects through social channels such as the community and Twitter. BlockBeats reminds readers that if you need to click on links such as wallets, please be careful to avoid asset losses.
