The last 24 hours on Farcaster have seen a series of intriguing developments and highlights from platform features to major launches. Here’s a condensed recap reflecting the vibrant activity:
Varun Srinivasan posted a Farcaster Improvement Proposal (FIP) about extending storage expiration by a year, and reducing new storage size to lower future registration costs. This sparked a significant conversation.
FIP: Extend Storage Expiry - Give all existing storage units an extra free year to avoid user churn and unnecessary work for clients - Reduce the size of new storage units issued. Lets us bring down the cost of registration in the future. https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/191 https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/13066c8b-8550-4d8e-54a1-1c3922fcd400/original
In another update from Varun Srinivasan, the successful experiment to remove the power badge was confirmed. Developers can still access the Power Badge API.
Update: experiment was a success, power badge is no more in Warpcast! Active users saw no impact and new users benefitted from this change. Warpcast will remove power badges from the UI permanently. If you are a developer who uses Power Badge, @neynar will continue supporting the Power Badge API for you. https://warpcast.com/v/0x15e88a84
Jacob introduced a major upgrade for the Zora protocol that integrates secondary markets with Uniswap to enrich value for creators post-minting.
Today, we released a major upgrade of the @zora protocol. We are bringing secondary markets onchain with @uniswap to unlock more value for creators and collectors after a mint. When the mint ends, the market begins. It's like magic. https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/b83b4277-d528-4e16-2b6a-111529b47c00/original
JTGI queried the community on setting up a viable streaming setup for Mac, focusing on live coding while ensuring data privacy.

Six pondered about the need for real-life taverns where people could meet and chat with friends, sparking a discussion on blending virtual and physical social experiences.
it would be cool if they had tavern irl, like if you and your friends could all meet up in the same physical location to chat who’s building this?
Nounish Prof emphasized the importance of Farcaster-native media and community activities like /gmfarcaster and /latenightcrew for onboarding and retaining new users.
Great one tonight @zinger! To @dwr.eth point about retention and the "private jokes" that newbies may not get, /gmfarcaster /latenightcrew and other media are really helpful here. When you welcome someone new, point them towards the FC native media. GM Farcaster has an archive of all major dev and culture moments of the past year. (including @ted's 5 day boycott) And jumping into @unlonely streams and interacting with others real time helps get newbies integrated. We know because they've told us. There's also some great podcasts like @ted @nonlinear.eth Many Such Case, @dawufi Vibe Check and @woj.eth @six By the Numbers that help inform and share culture, @yb terminally online, @cameron and @christin streams, @pichi @humpty.eth audio spaces and so many more! And @cojo.eth the mole will never die! @adrienne and I will make sure of it! Also -- meetups but that usually comes later. But lots of great @events like fcny, club ted, /tabletop and more to help people connect. gn /latenightcrew
Steve shared a quirky interaction with a "Dan" at a food mart, blending humor and real-life experiences.
I saw Dan at a food mart in LA a day ago. I told him how cool it was to chat with him IRL, but I didn’t want to act impish and annoy him and ask him for photos or anything. Dan said, "Oh, so that's what you call it?" I was caught off guard, and all I could say was "Huh?" but that guy would cut in going "Huh? Huh? Huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my mouth. I walk away to go about my shopping, I soon found him laughing as I walk off. As I pay for my stuff up front, I saw him trying to walk out with about fifty Milky Ways in his hands without paying. 1/2 https://warpcast.com/cyberparadox.eth/0x84c20597

In another post, Six suggested replacing existing content modules with actual stories to enhance user engagement, referencing successful models from Instagram and Snapchat.
Replace this with actual stories IMO. We know it works from IG and snap, and I’m confident people would post stories too. Especially since we’re all about the social network vs media thing now https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/5f5f83f8-817a-4f6e-91a6-8430c3108800/original
