--- title: "Your feed, your money • TWiF #6" date: "2025-02-14" canonical: "https://splits.org/changelog/your-feed-your-money/" --- # Your feed, your money • TWiF #6 Happy Friday, Farcaster! Now available on the podcast: [Abram](https://warpcast.com/abram) and [Will](https://warpcast.com/w) quizzing [Salvino](https://warpcast.com/salvino) about building Yapster. Find it on [YouTube](http://youtu.be/XMXblxssKao) or [Spotify](https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/this-week-in-farcaster/episodes/Building-Yapster-to-make-the-Solana-trenches-fun-again--Salvino-Armati-e2upq9s). Also, we created a [starter pack of builders](https://warpcast.com/weekinfarcaster.eth/pack/Builder-Interviews-y6k5b8) who've been interviewed on TWiF. A link from Will that's worth your time: "Defining our \[ideal customer profile\] is the [most important thing](https://posthog.com/newsletter/ideal-customer-profile-framework) we ever did," from PostHog. Plus a lil update from Splits: "Earn: [yield bearing stables](https://warpcast.com/abram/0x280a2a2a) directly in your Teams account." Banking on Ethereum, baby! Check out the demo if you like when your money makes more money. ## Warpcast / Merkle Wake up babe, there's a Warpcast wallet! Granted, it hasn't rolled out to everybody yet, but presumably soon. [Why](https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0xd865c222): Do onchain stuff in-feed with way less friction. If you're on mobile, anyway. [How it works](https://warpcast.com/deodad/0xf0d39b0a): > private key is shamir sharded on your device into 3 shards, any 2 of which can reconstruct the PK. > > 1 shard remains on the device > 1 shard is encrypted by a key that warpcast holds (recovery shard) > 1 shard is encrypted by a key that Privy holds (auth shard) "PSA — upgrade your farcaster seed phrase security best practices if you plan to use the Warpcast wallet for storing / trading / transacting an amount that's meaningful to you." [Good reminder](https://warpcast.com/manan/0xdd31136a)! In other news, [Merkle hired @slokh](https://warpcast.com/slokh/0x446f89e2), the creator of Anonworld. Have no fear, his existing projects will _not_ shut down. ## Frames Also from Warpcast, but [specific to frames](https://warpcast.com/horsefacts.eth/0x75c814ae): > Problem: it’s too hard to build swap/token UIs. Several popular frames use embedded swap widgets that don't connect to the user’s wallet. > > We're exploring some ideas for "token actions" and seeking feedback from frame devs! Here's the [draft doc](https://warpcast.notion.site/DRAFT-Token-Actions-1966a6c0c101800abc99fed1720a73ca). Charmingly emphatic: "WHY IS MY FRAME CACHED?! [DEBUG GUIDE](https://warpcast.com/deodad/0xdc024835)" 😝 Neynar [added some tooling](https://warpcast.com/rish/0xfe512114): "if you use neynar for sending notifications on v2 frames, analytics will now populate automatically in neynar dev portal." The Just Frame It buildathon [secured sponsorships](https://warpcast.com/limone.eth/0x8dca4b81) from Base, Purple DAO, and Warpcast. Applications open on Monday. Might be interesting to read through the [proposal to Purple DAO](https://warpcast.com/limone.eth/0x9bd36b2f) as well. A thread of "[technical lessons we learned](https://warpcast.com/chinmay.eth/0x67275b69) while building [@basketdotfarm](https://warpcast.com/basketdotfarm)," the in-frame token index creator. Farville parameters [have been rejiggered](https://warpcast.com/itsmide.eth/0x768dd1c0) to improve the balance of the game. ## Clankerverse "The Bracket team has also informed me that future Bracket games now [operate as prediction markets](https://warpcast.com/bracky/0x529263fb) settled in $BRACKY." Related: "we’re gonna [start enabling Clanker pools](https://warpcast.com/cojo.eth/0xb8661b3b) within Ponder predictions." Glanker [launched](https://warpcast.com/diviflyy/0x3191c161) "Empire Builder — The Ultimate Tool for Utility-pilling your Tokens." First you've got a memecoin, then it's an empire?! 😳 Not technically Clanker, but [inspired by it](https://warpcast.com/markcarey/0xf7baddb2): "[Streme.fun](https://www.streme.fun/) is an AI Agent that deploys streamable tokens, powered by [@superfluid](https://warpcast.com/superfluid), with built-in staking and liquidity provision." Clever! ## Extra fun FarCon applications [close on the 21st](https://warpcast.com/esteez.eth/0x973949aa) — if you want to attend, don't get caught slippin'. [Groupchats are open](https://warpcast.com/dylsteck.eth/0x1715192a) for both Builder's Day and Summit attendees. Farcaster philosopher [@jihad](https://warpcast.com/jihad) published two essays explaining why "you can just do things" is an insufficient mindset: - [The Age of Agency](https://catchingstrays.substack.com/p/the-age-of-agency) - [Native to Our Built Environments](https://catchingstrays.substack.com/p/native-to-our-built-environments) Thirdweb [acquired](https://warpcast.com/nir/0xc683825c) Yup. The two teams will "join forces to revolutionize web3 development and build industry-leading infra, devtools, and platforms." The artist usually known as [@shl0ms](https://warpcast.com/shl0ms) appeared on the [Purple People podcast](https://warpcast.com/jake/0x41260901). "We talked about nothing. Please enjoy." [Rodeo](https://warpcast.com/kayvon/0x5197c179) pushes back on snipers: "With the Friend Zone, your friends now have a distinct leg up on bots. They get 3 minutes to accept an offer before anyone else." "Builder Score V2 just dropped, and I'm looking for feedback on the new scoring system," [@macedo shared](https://warpcast.com/macedo/0x2ef206fc). Here are the [details](https://mirror.xyz/talentprotocol.eth/PGwRyGzyMMPN-ioLQxSQueEuJzTr4E0UbsJsbua-lwE). [Closing](https://warpcast.com/bayardo.eth/0xb966910a) with a technical treat: "[Merkle Mountain Ranges](https://commonware.xyz/blogs/mmr.html) for Performant Data Authentication."
