Warpcast, the open social media platform, has steadily gained traction due to the release of new crypto-native features.
Dan Romero, co-founder of the popular decentralized social media protocol Farcaster, unveiled Friday a new in-app payments feature. The new tool, built for the Farcaster client Warpcast, uses the USDC stablecoin for 1-tap payments from a user’s profile or the app’s messaging platform.
“Our goal is to make it easy to pay people with crypto in an app you use every day on your phone. No need to look up an address or remember how to spell someone's ENS,” Romero told The Block in a direct message. Launched in 2020, Farcaster has been steadily gaining traction in the crypto world. The early 2024 launch of “Frames,” which enabled people to launch applications like web3 games or interactive NFTs directly into peoples’ newsfeeds so they wouldn’t have to leave the app, spurred adoption.
