Clanker Update We just bought ~$65,000 of $CLANKER using 2/3 of the protocol fees generated in the last day. The other 1/3 is being reserved as USDC for tax purposes. Transactions below. The buying process is manual and the schedule will be irregular to start. We will announce buys as soon as we've completed them, and will automate this within a few weeks. https://basescan.org/tx/0x76ccc74fe3e36f4ed7547b54c90dbf869c9812335234501fc36d86af77a868ae https://basescan.org/tx/0xf2967f31a34eb02580c378e6fa6fee066878d5054a83ff1462270ae1a32a924b

A quick update on deposit bonuses: 1. We crossed our 2 week goal in less than 24 hours! 2. We're pausing new enrollment for bonuses at 3pm Pacific, Oct 14th. 3. If you deposited before 3pm Pacific, you're still eligible for rewards. Thank you all for trusting Farcaster with your funds. We hope to bring back a version of deposit bonuses soon. If you're new, we hope you’ll stick around and keeping swapping in our wallet and hanging out with our community!

Security Update: NPM QIX attack 1. If you're using the Farcaster app on web or mobile, you are safe. 2. If you're using a Farcaster miniapp, be cautious unless the developer has confirmed it's safe. Reject any transactions from miniapps you don’t fully understand. What happened? An attacker took over an NPM developer's account and replaced packages with malicious versions. These low-level, open-source components are used by many apps, including popular crypto wallets. Any app that updates these packages today may load the malicious code, which can propose dangerous transactions to users. The Farcaster app uses some of these packages, but we have confirmed we haven’t updated them since the attack. It's therefore safe to use our app. Farcaster miniapps could have been affected. If a miniapp is impacted, it may propose a dangerous transaction. Our security scanning should catch most of these, and even if something slips through, you’ll see a transaction preview to review and reject. If you’re using a miniapp, it’s important to read the details and accept only transactions you understand.
