zapper is buillding a new kind of farcaster client - conversations are bundled under token topics - users can like not just casts but also trades and tokens great use of protocol level primitives that were introduced in FIP-2, also gave us a reason to upgrade our offerings to handle more FIP-2 actions ⚡️ 🪐

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.

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

Lots of mini app related things launching today - Neynar starter kit is now a deployed mini app so you can see it in action before starting off with it - "npx @neynar/create-farcaster-mini-app" or try linked demo - starter kit now automatically supports light mode and dark mode switching - [this is the big one] there is now a built in Share component that not only allows personalized sharing but automatically tags your _best friends_ on the network so they can try out the app* *We calculate best friends for every user and have made this available as an API. This means any mini app developer can now get their users to share their mini app effectively, from the get go! https://neynar-starter-kit.vercel.app/share/1568

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 👀 https://docs.neynar.com/reference/post-nft-mint
