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.

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.

personally think this is a great move overall.

This is definitely the right call!  New user onboarding has to be a challenge and this will make it simpler to talk about the product.  Next up, revisit channel posting permissions because that still doesn't make sense to me

small glitches won't be of much problem ✨✨

I expected this, Thanks for the heads up.
This is a call to individuals that have not back up their login details. They should do so now.
