But take note, because this onchain social network has multiple advances working in its favor right now. **

- For instance, the Farcaster team just [launched their Snapchain testnet](https://x.com/varunsrin/status/1886822675395531091), which uses the new Malachite consensus engine and lays the groundwork for eventually supporting 1 million daily users. 
- Another big boon just came by way of [Warpcast absorbing Super](https://x.com/superwoj/status/1887204561330311191). The former is the flagship Farcaster app, while the latter has been the leading community-built client. Now that the two teams have joined forces, look for Warpcast to become that much more excellent. 
- Then one of the *biggest *announcements this week was Base declaring that its developers were building [a Farcaster feed into Coinbase Wallet](https://x.com/dwr/status/1886824181062656160). This meld can attract many thousands of new users to Farcaster in the months ahead. 
- Also, Warpcast is continuing to double down on becoming an earnings hub for creators with its [revamped USDC rewards program](https://x.com/varunsrin/status/1886921749180375078), which is offering $15,000 across the top 1,000 weekly posters. It's a good time to start casting, I say.
