Farcaster project introduction and Chinese registration process
1. Introduction to Farcaster Project
Farcaster, a decentralized social network underlying protocol, was founded by former Coinbase vice president @dwr, aiming to build a novel social network as the infrastructure of Web3. Farcaster is similar to a global communication base station provider, providing a platform layer for project parties and users to use directly. With a strong team background and excellent technical strength, Farcaster successfully attracted the favor of first-tier VCs such as Paradigm and a16z, and obtained up to 180 million US dollars in financing.
II. Registration Difficulties and Solutions
Currently, Warpcast, built on Farcaster, is the most popular and well-known application. However, its registration process has several difficulties for Chinese people:
Mobile phone registration and payment: Warpcast only supports mobile phone registration, and requires a payment of US$5. You cannot use currency circle payment, only credit cards are supported.
Chinese Apple ID cannot download: Due to regional restrictions, Chinese Apple ID cannot directly download Warpcast.
solution:
Official website email registration: Register via email through the official website link and choose Android/Apple to download the program.
Use a US Apple ID: For Apple phones, you need to register a US Apple ID or use an existing ID. Android phones can download it through Google Play.
Payment issues:
Method 1: Purchase an Apple gift card or Google Play gift card for payment.
Method 2: Download the APP first, then switch back to the Chinese Apple ID and bind WeChat or Alipay payment.
Method 3: If your friends have already registered, you can invite them to register by purchasing Warps points, which is cheaper.
3. Use interactive prompts
Complete personal information: bind your wallet (EVM/SOL) and complete your personal information.
Web version operation: Log in to the web version of Warpcast for easier operation.
Stay active: post, follow others, accumulate followers, and increase your visibility to increase your chances of airdrops.
Warps Points: Learn about the uses of Warps Points, which can be obtained through active participation, completing tasks, etc., or purchased directly with U.
IV. Summary and Others
The Farcaster ecosystem also includes the Bountycaster Working Committee, Unlonely Live, etc. However, it is currently recommended to interact with Warpcast. Regarding NFT, the OG price is already high, so investment should be cautious. In the future, with the further development of Farcaster and the improvement of the ecosystem, I believe there will be more opportunities and possibilities waiting for us to explore.
