I wonder who has monitored the situation the most on Farcaster in the last 7 days?

What’s something you wish Farcaster did better?

Will only ask clarifying questions!

One great thing about this app is no fucking spam bots holy shit it feels so good

how are most people on farcaster literally the coolest ever

mini app developer analytics now show your apps trending rank and rank history

and tldr on recent trending changes: momentum is now a factor which makes the leaderboard dynamic—even small apps can climb to the upper echelons when experiencing viral growth

Aside: does anyone know what Telegram group this is?

The models are going to get better. The tools are going to get better.

Within a few years, anyone will be able to create a feature length movie if they have an idea. Will it be Hollywood level? Probably not. Does that matter? Probably not.

Two other thoughts:

1. Quantity of creative internet video will increase by orders of magnitude. How do you find the interesting ones vs. low effort slop?

2. Would you rather watch average Netflix or Hollywood move (assume top 10% are affinity for the storyteller / actors and are actually good) or just expand on the universe of your favorite story. Endless Sicario sequels but if Villeneuve AI is director and Sheridan AI is the screenwriter?

The team vetoed this warplet mascot. So now releasing as CC0.

Aside: evolution is remarkable: The Swiss-cheese plant (below) evolved windowed leaves ("fenestrations") that channel sunlight to its normally shaded lower leaves. Result is more a smoother curve of carbon production.

If you invited someone to Farcaster in the last 3 months and they 1) signed up but 2) then stopped using the app after a few days or weeks, what was the reason they gave you?

If you find Farcaster fun, what's preventing you from inviting 1-2 friends and helping them get started here?

Farcaster Devs

Heard some feedback today that there is no free way to access Farcaster snapchain nodes. Want to clarify a few things:

> "There is no way to build with Farcaster nodes for free"
This is false.
Neynar has a free tier and has had one for a while. It's on the website.

> "I still have to put in my credit card on Neynar"
No. Just have to type in your email to get started. Go through the flow and see for yourself.

> "It says I have to pay $1 after a year, in 2026"
Yes, it does say that. 
Will you be building after a year? Still on the free tier? And still be complaining that you have to pay $1 for the next entire year after a full year of free service? 

> "Yes because I want free forever"
Well funnily enough we want that too. We need to decouple our onboarding flow from Stripe. Help us hire so we can improve this sooner. neynar.com/careers

> "Free tier is rate limited and if I use too much, it asks me to pay"
Yes that's because it's the free tier and if you are going to use enough, you probably should pay.

We were paid only in the past, that's no longer true as of March 2025. We want you to get started in the ecosystem as easily as possible. 

Things we want to build over the next couple months:
- better, simpler onboarding
- elastic pricing so you don't have to pick between tiers and make big jumps
We are bandwidth constrained, helping us hire helps accelerate the above.

Introducing Mesh Mini: Host + Attend Events Right Inside Farcaster

https://farcaster.xyz/miniapps/0ri7QnhMruWM/mesh-mini

One of the best things about Farcaster is the people. The community here has grown thoughtfully, expanded organically, and continues to evolve in interesting directions.

At some point in every online community’s lifespan, usually a lot earlier than many might think, the same itch shows up: “I kind of like these people more than my real friends… time to meet internet strangers in person!”

It’s a pattern as old as the internet. Forum meetups. Dinners organized in Twitter DMs. For a very long while, Facebook Events was the best part of Facebook. The most valuable networks naturally trend towards creating a feedback loop between online and offline socialization.

So today, we’re launching Mesh Mini, a mini-app for hosting and RSVPing to events directly inside of Farcaster.

Mesh Mini is the simplest way to get people together onchain. Coffee hangs, happy hours, dinner parties, weekend vibecoding sessions, and whatever else makes you excited enough to get up and go outside for.

A few things to know:

- Mesh Mini runs on top of Gatekeeper, a protocol we’re building at @sceneinfra to bring the entire experience economy onchain.
- For now, Mesh Mini supports free/RSVP events and runs on Sepolia while we test and refine some things.
- If there’s interest, we’ll probably end up porting over the paid ticketing features from Mesh into Mesh Mini eventually.

Why shrink Mesh down into a mini-app? Gatekeeper is designed to support tons of unique front-end experiences. There should be thousands of clients, all running off Gatekeeper, powering a wide range of social experiences that are perfectly catered to their intended audience without needing to rebuild the fundamentals of events management and ticketing from scratch.

If things go well, we’re thinking of open-sourcing Mesh Mini and letting the community help us push it forward. Maybe you want a feature that only allows mutuals to RSVP? Or, you want to allow people to buy a token to skip the RSVP approval queue?

For now, have at it and have fun. Host something weird. Invite your Farcaster friends. Make new ones.

Big shoutout to @ethandaya and @kimmy for blitzing on this over the past few weeks and bringing it to life so beautifully. If you catch them at a Mesh event, give them a high five.

And if you run into bugs or friction, ping me or @ethandaya. We’d love the feedback.

Update on Farcaste Pro for developers

1. Farcaster Pro subscription contract is deployed and live on Base. All new subscriptions through the Farcaster app happen onchain (like sign ups). Developers can permissionlessly build on the contract.

2. Contract supports monthly subscriptions. We may add monthly subscriptions and gifting subscriptions to the Farcaster app in the future. Other developers can offer that functionality today if they want.

3. Snapchain is reading from the contract and gating certain features — 10K character casts, 4 embeds, profile banners — based on pro subscription status.

3. A huge shout out @dynemyte  @blockheim @gabrielayuso.eth @gt @horsefacts.eth @sanjay for all their hard work. From idea to onchain and fully in the protocol in  less than 6 weeks.
