Original title: "Warpcast Review: New Social Experience on the Chain, a New Frontier for KOLs"

Original author: jk, Odaily Planet Daily

In this era of accelerated decentralization, 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 rapidly becoming a new favorite in the crypto community. This article will explore the encrypted social application Warpcast in depth, share personal experience of using it, and how to find your place in this decentralized new social world.

If you need a registration tutorial, you can refer to this article "Warpcast Most Complete Guide｜The entire Crypto circle is registering, how can newcomers play this "encrypted Alpha social application"?".

A new world for people in the cryptocurrency world: a new Twitter? A new KOL?

In this app, the amount of followers and style of social media KOLs are completely different from those on the “old platforms” — Vitalik only has about 90,000 followers in this app, while an account you can see on the homepage, @kaloh, currently has 42,400 followers (and his Twitter account has about 20,000 followers). The same “weight reassignment” also happens to several other accounts, @hww, @df, @jacopo.eth. Accounts randomly clicked on from the cast interface of Trending basically have many more followers than the corresponding accounts on Twitter, some are even more than ten times.

The number of fans of new KOLs on different platforms may vary greatly

That is to say, like Friend.tech, Warpcast has successfully created its own KOLs within the community. They do not rely on the transfer of fans on Twitter, or gain influence from an existing social media, but are new opinion leaders generated entirely by the community.

The world outside the cryptocurrency circle: Are all users native to Web3?

Coincidentally, this application that is comparable to traditional social media contains many tags that do not belong to the cryptocurrency circle; then, the activity of these tags can show whether the application is dominated by cryptocurrency users or other users.

For example, under the topic "Classical Music", the number of casts issued is actually relatively small, and only the moderator and a few active people are sharing some music based on their own interests in music. Clicking on the homepages of these active people, you will find that they are actually part of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, and almost all of them have the tag "building xxx" (under construction of a certain project). It can be seen that the users at this point in time are almost completely dominated by cryptocurrency users.

Trending Frames: Task List

Click on the Trending Frames in the upper right corner of the homepage, and there will be a variety of interesting "operations", which is the new Frame function of Farcaster, allowing users to use the dApp embedded by developers in the Warpcast interface, so as to achieve an operation interface with more functions than Twitter and more variety than the traditional Web3 Quest.Let's take a look at an example:

Show FID's Frame function

In this picture, users can click on "Show FID" in the picture to detect their FID. In this picture, the copy posted by the content creator is very attractive: "Did you know that an account with FID <10,000 may be worth 1 Ethereum? Check your FID, it all depends on how early you join the Farcaster ecosystem." As a user, of course there is a reason to join; and this is difficult to do on the traditional Twitter platform, because Twitter lacks the native functions of other apps; and compared to the traditional Quest, users do not need to click so many steps to complete the task and get rewards, everything can be done on Warpcast, which undoubtedly provides a huge motivation for users.

Then the natural question is, will this feature bring more malicious functions? Users can do certain operations with one click, and they can also authorize certain sensitive information with one click. Under the convenience and speed of this function, are there some risks hidden? If a social media content publisher uses similar copywriting to the above picture, but the button actually guides you to authorize a malicious transaction or a completely unrelated dApp (such as an application that can generate random numbers), then it is actually difficult for users to find out, because there are too few words that can be displayed on the button.

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

In short, Warpcast is not just a simple social media application, it represents a new social network paradigm, seamlessly combining 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 also experience the freedom and possibilities brought by decentralization. As more and more people begin to explore and use such platforms, we can look forward to a more open, transparent and connected digital world. Whether you are a veteran in the crypto field or a newcomer interested in decentralized social networking, Warpcast is worth a try.
