QUALITY COMPENSATION

Earlier today @marissaposner raised a valid point: @ampsfun likes weren't representing the highest quality users on the network.

We made a simple change: now likes from @ampsfun are more likely to come from users who have put in the work with higher @neynar scores.

Quality pays off - literally.

Mini Apps

+1 to notifications being a big growth driver for mini apps

Projects like @qrcoindotfun have been using it to great benefit. As @jake puts it - 

"It would be reasonable to assume that the majority of these people would not have picked this up as a daily ritual if not for our ability to send daily notification".

we've been making it easier to build on Solana over the last couple months

now have a dedicated instruction set for how to 
- add solana into your mini apps
- sign messages
- send transactions
- and call your own solana programs

s/o @quazia; reach out with questions or feedback, want to keep improving this 🪐

@xr0am- has been building @tipdotmd (tip.md) as a way to fund open source development

"Traditional OSS funding - grants, sponsorships, or crowdfunding can be slow and platform-dependent.
- developers often wait months for grant approvals
- struggle to raise meaningful amounts through traditional channels
- and find themselves spending more time on fundraising than coding"

Excited to support this initiative with them!

launched a few mini app related updates in the last couple days:

1. requires getting a few things right in order to make your mini app go viral, there's now a tutorial that calls out exactly how to make sure your app is well set up to trend

2. mini app starter kit (npx @neynar/create-farcaster-mini-app) now includes back button and optional haptics so you don't have to start from scratch - pretty much every mini app needs the back button

reach out with any questions and thank you for your attention to this matter! 🪐

here's what it is - you can now fetch quote casts of a cast with a simple API call

wanted to build this last year when @woj.eth was building supercast but kept getting deprioritized (usually by other asks from woj himself)

5+ people asked us for this over the last month so here we go, will help get list of linkedin posts like the one in the screenshot 

https://docs.neynar.com/reference/fetch-cast-quotes#cast-quotes

Our AI agent is coming along

Not only can you ask about people (e.g. before you decide to follow them, X has a specific action for this on profile hover cards) but because Farcaster is closer to crypto - 

It's possible to mix social data with onchain data e.g. "what are my friends trading right now?" and then go and trade those same coins

Reach out if you want to try it, want to get more user feedback

s/o @grin who's been making this come alive

don't think any other agent does what I do

If building NFT minting flow into your mini app - you can now just pass the FID in a REST API call and the API will deliver the mint to the user

no need to 
- learn solidity / EVM 
- manage nonces
- find wallet addresses for your users 

Mini apps that result in personalized mints for the user end up trending in the feed, now they're easier to build

More mini app features launching later today 👀

Plotting to take onchain mainstream  

All through crypto’s existence, the quintessential problem it’s repeatedly come back with “what do I do with crypto?”. Finally, with L2s maturing and new applications emerging, we are starting to solve this problem.  

This is what @base is tackling head on by evolving Coinbase Wallet from a simple asset management solution to the home base of crypto and it’s L2 Base. We've been working closely with @coinbasewallet to power their upcoming social experiences on Farcaster and Base.   

Beta invites are rolling out, see below for more on how we did it 🧵

All of your crypto. All of your wallets. All in one place. Your home for everything onchain. wallet.coinbase.com

Shout to to @rish and the @neynar team for implementing Neynar llms.txt. 

I literally asked Cursor to "implement the Neynar webhook types" and it one-shotted them.

Day 4/7: @neynar’s investment memo

Available to view on @paperview (free for FC pro users)

@rish and @manansh were building a CapCut for NFTs, but they were also externalizing their infra back then, a glimpse on what it would become

Man where would so many of us be without Neynar?

Love these guys.

@noiceapp has re-engineered how people pay and get paid by creating content, we dive into the details here

They use a full suite of Neynar products to interact with Farcaster: webhooks, kafka stream and managed signers

We're excited to continue shipping with them 🪐

Spotlight

app developer /spotlight | MediaFi & Attention Markets

50% of token supply is claimable and 50% has been deposited into Uniswap V4 (untradable until 500 users claim).

Spotlight is taking 0% of supply and ALL $PROCOIN earned as LP fees will be redistributed to Farcaster Pro subscribers. 

Powered by Neynar and deployed on Base.

We’re seeing all time highs of active developers on Neynar. Last high was around degen hype last year. We are about 7% higher now.

It's not apples-to-apples because we have a free tier now, compared to last year. That said,

- free tier likely helped get more developers active
- mini apps are working, I imagine Neynar numbers correlate to overall
network ATH in terms of developer activity
