In this app, the attention and style of social media KOLs are completely different from those on the old platforms - Buterin only has about 90,000 followers in this app, and an account that can be seen on the homepage,@kaloh currently has 42,400 followers (while his own Twitter account has around 20,000 followers).The same weight rebalancing also occurs on several other accounts, @hww, @df, @jacopo.eth. The accounts randomly clicked in from Trendings cast interface will basically have more followers than the corresponding account on Twitter. a lot of,Some are even ten times more.

The world outside the currency circle: Are all users native to Web3?

Trending Frames: Task List

Click on Trending Frames in the upper right corner of the homepage. There will be a variety of interesting operations in it, that isFarcaster’s new Frame function allows users to use dApps embedded by developers in the Warpcast interface, thereby achieving an operation interface with more functions than Twitter and more tricks than traditional Web3 Quest. Lets look at an example:

Show Frame function of FID

In this picture, users can click Show FID in the picture to detect their own FID. In this image, the content creator’s copy is engaging: “Did you know that an account with FID<10,000 might be worth 1 Ethereum? Check your FID, it all depends on how early you are (Join the Farcaster Ecosystem). As a user, of course you will have some reason to enter; this is difficult to achieve on the traditional Twitter platform because Twitter lacks the functions natively embedded in other apps; and compared to the traditional Quest, users do not need to do so at all. Click through so many steps to complete the mission and get rewards,Everything can be done on Warpcast, which definitely gives users a huge incentive。

So the natural question is, will this feature bring more malicious functions? Users can perform certain operations with one click, and can also authorize certain sensitive information with one click. With the convenience and speed of this function, will there be certain risks hidden? Suppose that a social media content publisher uses similar copy as in the above image, but the button actually directs you to authorize a malicious transaction or a completely unrelated dApp (such as an application that can generate random numbers) ) then it is actually difficult for users to notice,Because there are too few words that can be displayed on the buttons.

And according to the official statement, “Frames is powered by Farcaster’s EdDSA authentication system – meaning there’s no risk of wallet theft – and since it’s cryptographically signed, it can’t be counterfeited either.As for the safety of this function, it remains to be tested by time.

In short, WarpcastNot just a simple social media application, it represents a new social networking paradigm, seamlessly combining the potential of encryption technology with everyday communications.
