Tell us about yourself, what you are building, and why you chose to work on it. (feel free to include a loom video)
Hello, I’m Igor! A Web3 engineer with experience in developing high-load Web2 projects.
This month, I managed to develop the ClickCaster platform for traffic exchange and analytics for Frames, mini-applications in Warpcast. I chose this project because, at the moment, thanks to the growing Frames platform, you can create mini-apps that bring benefits to the Web3 ecosystem.
But personally, as a developer, I lack opportunities for promoting my Frames. From my experience, many developers face a similar problem. Therefore, thanks to ClickCaster, developers will be able to unite into a network for mutual promotion of their applications, leading to increased engagement in Superchain-based products.
How has the last month been? What did you learn? How has your idea evolved?
This month, a lot has been accomplished to make ClickCaster user-friendly yet secure. For example:
- Authentication through Warpcast
- Cryptographic verification of traffic
- All system components are covered by tests
- Introduction of frame authorship verification
and more. I started ClickCaster only as a traffic exchange platform, but later it became clear that it would also be useful as a traffic analytics platform. The traffic accounting system has been tested on real Frames with real people. Also, negotiations are underway to connect new Frames to the system.
What does the product/idea look like today? Share videos, images, demos, and anything else that helps people see what you are working on.

Tell us about any traction / adoption you’ve had over the last month.
- Connected own Frames with a total user base of more than 1000 people.
- Received inquiries about the possibility of connecting to the system
- Negotiations are underway with popular Frames for connection
Is your product Optimism/Superchain native and will it continue to be?
Farcaster and their Warpcast product are native in Optimism and have Superchain support. Since ClickCaster is focused only on technology applicable in Superchain, the product is native.
How will your product/idea move the Optimism ecosystem forward?
Thanks to the traffic exchange between Frames:
- Increased engagement in Superchain products
- Developers will be motivated by real users to create new products on Optimism/Superchain.
- High activity and low entry threshold will attract new developers to Superchain.
What’s the big vision of your product/idea beyond what it is today?
The ultimate goal of the project is to form a DAO from active traffic contributors in ClickCaster. With the help of active system participants, it will be decided how to develop the project and distribute excess traffic.
One of the important directions I would like to develop is the distribution of traffic surplus in the form of grants for developers of useful Frames for Superchain.
I would also like to separate the centralized accounting database and transform it into a distributed system. This will allow the system to remain transparent in the long term.
If you win, how will you use the funding?
Funds will be used to develop missing parts of the system and to stimulate developers to connect to ClickCaster.
If you win, what are you focused on over the next three months? What do you want to accomplish?
- I will create a TypeScript SDK for quick connection of Frames to the system.
- I will form a transparent DAO in Warpcast for voting on proposals.
- I will create a system for the possibility of permissionless traffic verification.
- I will improve the mobile experience with ClickCaster.
