3. Warpcast Introduces Warp-to-USDC Cash Out

Starting tomorrow, Warpcast users will be able to cash out purchased warps into USDC directly in their Warplet. This one-time promotion is designed to make it easier for users to fund their Warpcast Wallets.

Key Details:

• Eligibility: Only warps that users have purchased themselves can be cashed out. Warps received as gifts are not eligible at this time due to regulatory requirements, such as potential 1099 forms in the US.

• Warps Still in Use: Warps will continue to be used for gifting invites and purchasing channels. In the future, Warpcast plans to transition these features to onchain payments.

Why One-Time Only?
This feature was implemented quickly to assist the majority of users. Warpcast may consider making it an ongoing feature if there is sufficient demand.

4. Clanker World Now Supports Warplet Transactions in Frames!

Clanker World has introduced support for Warplet transactions directly within frames. This update makes it easier than ever to interact with Clanker World seamlessly through Warpcast.
