Introduction

What is FC Connect?

• A method for apps to sign in or connect with a farcaster account.
• Sign in with Farcaster: get a signature to prove account ownership.
• Connect with Farcaster: get an onchain key to post on behalf of an account.

What’s the state of the world?

• Sign in with Farcaster does not exist.
• Connect with Farcaster is known today as “Signer Request Flow”

What’s the plan?

v1 — a simple, easy to use prototype for authentication with Warpcast:

• Ship a Sign In flow for proving that a Warpcast user owns an account
• Ship FC Kit, a React library that manages the Sign In v1 flow
• Make no changes to Connect flow aka Signer Request Flow

v2 — a generalized system that works authentication and authorization for any client
