Casting Spells, Far and Wide

With it being a relatively slow week in the Builderverse and the recent launch of permissionless signups, I thought I'd take the chance to highlight some awesome Farcaster tools since we're always encouraging everyone to check it out! Below you'll find a variety of projects, all utilizing the Farcaster protocol.

Some of these projects have built incredibly interesting apps like onchain live audio, location sharing, and even discussions directly on any webpage. The Farcaster ecosystem is really beginning to flourish, and we should see Builders creating even more exciting tools as time goes on which is really exciting.

Aburra

Formerly known as Alphacaster, Aburra is a Farcaster client that has also introduced a Web3 live audio platform similar to Twitter Spaces. Built by Builder member Billzh, it has been a great experience so far. Keep an eye out for his next Farcaster Builder chat on Aburra! In the meantime, there is a BLVKHVND Q4 Pro Team Update scheduled for today at 1:30pm EDT!

The Builder Channel on Farcaster displays a feed of activity from members of Builder including casts and onchain activity such as auctions, proposals, and votes. You can also now see the DAO feed directly on the nouns.build website by clicking 'Feed' as shown in the screenshot below!

It's a really great way to keep up to date with your fellow Builders! Very recently Farcaster has even gone permissionless! Anyone can now signup for the protocol without an invite. Head to your Farcaster client of choice (Warpcast, Aburra, Flink, Herocast, etc) and sign up today. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out for assistance!

I did. To me it’s a way to actively participate in the protocol. I don’t like supercast in its current form but if farcast goes down, super cast won’t be. What’s interesting is I don’t think you’ll see channels as that’s a Warpcast app feature. I need to be fact checked on that.

there are channels on supercast but the ui is funky and idk how to cast into channels from it yet lol

Ah damn. Didn’t notice. So yeah not great haha. I think we saw the same thing when Twitter first came out. The thing I think is great about this protocol, is that no one can remove API access, and then you lose really great apps that were developed for it
