preview of my protocol berg talk 👀 I’m excited to share how the new platform engineering team at op labs is speeding up development of the op stack!

gm, time to let everyone know that i'm no longer working for merkle

i'm still a huge fan and a believer in dan, varun, the team and the whole farcaster community, but in the end i wasn't the right fit

will be taking some time to rest, learn new things and eventually start something new -- farcaster will know first

I love this, thank you for writing it and sharing. It's so awesome seeing you on Farcaster!!

I wrote a reflection about my first month on Farcaster.

Honest feedback is welcome. Don't worry about my feelings. I'm more interested in your POV, especially if you have a strong reaction. :)

Yesterday was the happiest day of my life!

Looking for people to test a big new thing for wallet starting tomorrow.

Reply here if you're interested. Will ping 20 or so of you in the morning.

BREAKING: Congress member Julie Johnson literally sold stock right before Trump's tariff news.

She sold hundreds of positions, right before the market dropped. She sold on March 31, April 1, and continued to sell on April 6th.

She literally SOLD BEFORE liberation day.

Insane.

Expected side effects: 

1. Some users may be logged out on web 
2. Some things may be a little glitchy on launch day, but should stabilize quickly.

We're planning to move forward with rebranding the Warpcast mobile and web app to Farcaster.

1. Nothing is changing any time soon. We will take our time with this and have plenty of communication about it across multiple channels. The earliest the change will happen is mid-May, but a decent chance it happens in June.

2. We're going to work on a plan over the next 2 weeks and should have a plan by the next developer call on May 8, 2025. We will discuss on the call.

3. For developers: we're planning to open source the client monorepo— i.e. the mobile and web apps. Again, no timeline on this yet.

Warpcast is being rebranded to Farcaster 

1. Mobile app will be called Farcaster 
2. The Arch logo will return
3. Website will move from warpcast.com to farcaster.xyz.
4. All links will be backwards compatible. No action needed. 

Will roll out this week or next, depending on app store reviews.

looking forward to chatting about @ethereum’s bright future with @pbrody and @cryptauxmargaux at Consensus 2025 tomorrow

Flashblocks make Base 10x faster.

We're starting to test Flashblocks in a staged rollout on Base, reducing effective block times from 2 seconds to 200 milliseconds.

Builders can integrate Flashblocks on testnet today to prepare for the full rollout.

What do you wish Farcaster was doing (that it isn’t)?
