Create a Warpcast Account and Link Your Enkrypt Wallet
Onchain social media (AKA Socialfi) is taking the crypto industry by storm, and Warpcast is the place to be. Connect your Enkrypt wallet to Warpcast using the guide below.
Warpcast is a decentralized client for Farcaster, which is a decentralized social network that is built on top of the Base network. It allows users to socialize by creating profiles, interacting in specific channels and sending direct messages to each other. It is a mix of X (Twitter) and Reddit with the added feature that users can tip each other tokens and build applications atop of the Farcaster app.
Enkrypt is a multichain, non-custodial, and open-source web3 browser wallet built by the team behind MEW (MyEtherWallet). With Enkrypt, users and developers can generate accounts, manage tokens and NFTs, and interact with DApps on Base, as well as Bitcoin, Substrate and EVM chains. Follow the instructions in this guide on how to use Enkrypt with Warpcast!
