“Buy me 100 of BNKR and sell it when the price pumps 50%.”
“Sell all my $BNKR if the price drops 10% and expire the order 30 days from now.”
How to Use:

View and cancel open orders via the private terminal (link in bio).

Scout Game, the weekly global developer competition, has leveled up and is now available as a Farcaster Frame.
How It Works:
Developers: Earn points by contributing to open-source projects.
Players: Earn points (and soon tokens) by identifying top developers.
Ecosystems: Provide additional rewards to those supporting their ecosystem.
Why Farcaster?
Farcaster offers the best interface and seamless integration with the Warpcast Wallet, making it the ideal platform for Scout Game.
Join the competition now.
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.
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.
Give it a try here.
