# Cast action ideas

Source: https://dwr.email/cast-action-ideas

## Summary

This is a list of 13 proposed "cast action" ideas for Farcaster, a social network, written as brainstorming rather than announced features. Proposals include gated polls based on onchain activity or Farcaster account criteria, reminders for live virtual events such as Farhouse, Unlonely and /tabletop game night, and waitlists that collect FIDs and metrics for consumer app launches. Other ideas cover prop bets with a third-party resolver, copy trading of portfolios, Amazon affiliate product frames, fundraisers, LLM-based text and image tools, and a frame that uploads images for minting on Zora, Rodeo or Moshi. The author is unsure whether some ideas are technically possible, including the consolidated multi-swap transaction for copy trading.

## Article

1. Gated polls based on criteria — you can only vote if...

a. Onchain activity — age of wallet, token balance, holding an NFT

b. Farcaster activity — age of account, # of followers, OpenRank or Power Badge

2. Remind me — useful for live virtual events like Farhouse, Unlonely, /tabletop game night; creates a frame with a single button to remind the user via a programmatic DC 1 hour or 15 minutes before event is live

3. Waitlist — useful for building excitement about a consumer app launch; creates a frame with single button to join the wailist; admin UI is a table of FIDs and relevant metrics, ability to invite users to the app via a programmatic DC

4. Prop bet — creates a frame with a description, $ amount, odds and resolver (i.e. 3rd party who decides who won the bet) for a prop bet against the caster. Transaction on Base in USDC? Degen?

5. Copy trade — creates a frame with a single button / txn that allows you to clone a portfolio (via a consolidated multi-swap txn, not sure if possible)

6. Amazon product link frame — create a frame with an Amazon product, frame creator has an affiliates account, pays you out a % in a crypto

7. Fundraiser — GoFundMe campaign in a frame. Allow the ability for the author to specify another Farcaster user, e.g. a charity, funds go to connected address, track successful payments / leaderboard for biggest contributors

8. LLM actions - improve your grammar, make the cast funnier, more succinct; generate an image with DALL-E

9. Imgflip - similar to a GIF keyboard, search for a meme template and then have the ability to add Impact text on top and bottom of the image

10. What channel should I cast in - analyze cast text and then look at what channels have been most active recently

11. Boost my cast - select your mutual follows before you cast, action waits for the next cast to propogate on the network and then DCs a link to your friends to like it

12. Grab most recent [x] - give the action your Twitter username, and it shows you the raw text of the last few tweets, making it easy to cross-post; could be the same for most recent mint, transaction, trade, etc.

13. Upload your photo / image to NFT platform - upload your image to Zora, Rodeo, Moshi, returns a frame with mint button ready to go to cast
