In this era of decentralized acceleration, decentralized technology is not only reshaping our financial system, but also changing the face of social media in unprecedented ways. Warpcast, as one of the front ends of the Farcaster decentralized social protocol, is quickly becoming the new favorite of the crypto community. This article will delve into the encrypted social application Warpcast, share personal experiences of using it, and explore how to find one's place in this decentralized new social world.

For a registration tutorial, you can refer to this article "Warpcast Complete Guide: How to Play with this 'Encrypted Alpha Social Application'?".

A New World for Crypto People: A New Twitter? A New KOL?

In this app, the attention and style of social media KOLs are completely different from those of the "old platforms" - Vitalik Buterin (V神) has only about 90,000 followers in this app, while an account, @kaloh, currently has around 42,400 followers (while his personal account on Twitter has around 20,000 followers). Similar "reweighting" also occurs in several other accounts, such as @hww, @df, @jacopo.eth, where clicking into their profiles from the Trending cast interface will show that their followers are generally much more than their corresponding Twitter accounts, some even ten times more.

Different platforms may have significantly different numbers of followers for new KOLs

In other words, like Friend.tech, Warpcast has successfully begun to generate its own KOLs within the community, who do not rely on transferring followers from Twitter or gaining influence from an existing social media platform, but are entirely new opinion leaders generated by the community.

The World Beyond Crypto: Are Users All Web3 Native Users?

Coincidentally, this application, which benchmarks traditional social media, covers many tags that do not belong to the crypto community; therefore, the activity level of these tags can indicate whether the application is mainly for crypto users or if there are other users joining.

For example, under the tag "classical music," the number of casts posted is relatively small, with only the moderators and a few active individuals sharing some music based on their own interests. Clicking into the profiles of these active individuals, it is revealed that they are also part of the crypto ecosystem, almost everyone carries the tag "building xxx" (building a certain project). It can be seen that at this point in time, the users are almost entirely dominated by crypto users.

Trending Frames: Task List

By clicking on the top right corner of the homepage, Trending Frames, there are various interesting "operations," which are Farcaster's new Frame feature, allowing users to use dApps embedded by developers on the Warpcast interface, providing more functions than Twitter and more diverse operation interfaces than traditional Web3 Quest. Let's take an example:

The Frame function of Show FID

In this image, users can click "Show FID" to check their FID with just one click. The content creator's copy in this image is enticing: "Do you know an account with an FID of 10,000 could be worth 1 Ethereum? Check your FID, it all depends on how early you are (joining the Farcaster ecosystem)." As a user, there is a natural reason to click into it; this is something traditional Twitter platforms find hard to achieve because Twitter lacks the functionality embedded by other apps. Compared to traditional Quests, users do not need to click through many steps to complete tasks and earn rewards, everything can be done on Warpcast, undoubtedly providing users with great motivation.

Naturally, the question arises: will this feature bring more malicious functions? Users can easily perform certain operations with one click, and can also authorize sensitive information with one click. Under the convenience and speed of this feature, are there hidden risks? If a content publisher on a social media platform uses similar copy to the image above, but the button actually leads you to authorize a malicious transaction or a completely unrelated dApp (such as an app that generates random numbers), it would be difficult for users to notice, because there is very little text that can be displayed on the button.

According to the official statement, "Frames are supported by Farcaster's EdDSA authentication system - which means there is no risk of wallet theft - and because it is encrypted and signed, it cannot be forged." As for the security of this feature, it remains to be tested over time.

In conclusion, Warpcast is not just a simple social media application, it represents a new paradigm of social networking, seamlessly integrating the potential of encryption technology with daily communication. By participating in the world of Warpcast, users can witness the vitality and innovation of the crypto community, and experience the freedom and possibilities brought by decentralization. As more and more people begin to explore and use such platforms, we can expect a more open, transparent, and connected digital world. Whether you are a veteran in the crypto field or a newcomer interested in decentralized socializing, Warpcast is worth a try.
