Neynar

Gm. Building https://evermarks.net - planning to use Neynar to make it really good at organizing casts & continue w/ making it faster and ofc fixing all the bugs I created yesterday

How do I check if Neynar is connected to my account?

I'm trying to link a mini apps but it's not working

Farcaster Devs

We've notched some significant wins on the engineering side in the last few weeks 🪐

- Reduced latency and time spent in Redis (ask @tybook.eth about the sharding)
- Reduced latency for fetching Farcaster notifications (h/t @mcilroyc)
- Fixed a particularly hard-to-find memory corruption bug within our webhooks filtering logic

ending the week with some hard fought engineering wins

gm @neynar, 

should i be using the sdk for agent stuff?

also where can i find the endpoint to create neynar apps for an agent with all the required urls, uuids, api keys, etc? 

tyvm!

We've been building more cloud transaction APIs that are specific to Farcaster mini apps and @igoryuzo.eth has been helping us test our latest one

Newest API allows you to send tokens to multiple FIDs in a single API call: https://docs.neynar.com/reference/send-fungibles-to-users#send-fungibles
- no interfacing with the chain
- or managing gas
- or handling nonces if doing high volume

In fact, you don't even need to know the recipient's wallet addresses. Just put in their FID and the API will send it to their primary wallet

So if you're building an experience that distributes tokens to multiple Farcaster users, it's one API call now

Reach out with questions, we're looking for feedback and feature requests 🪐

Shipped a small improvement to the Neynar AI app: sources!

The `neynar_user_score` field under `experimental` will be deprecated after June 1, 2025, as it will be formally promoted to a stable field named `score` within the user object."

Scheduled upgrades are done. This should help us scale our indexing layer horizontally. 🪐 

Events across all services have caught up. 

h/t @tybook.eth

Scheduled downtime for Neynar services tomorrow July 9th, 9AM to 9:15AM PT

- Data on indexing services and events on webhooks & Kafka will be delayed by 5 minutes.
- Farcaster read APIs will be fully available but may experience a 5-minute lag.
- No impact to Farcaster write APIs
- No impact to onchain read or write APIs
- No impact to snapchain gRPC and HTTP APIs

Reach out if any questions 🪐

Cohost of /gmfarcaster, a live stream Farcaster news show.  Engineer. Mom x 3.

This weekend @alezsavz won $115 USDC from the @livecaster x @tipn pot during the /f1 British Grand Prix Livecast. At the heart of this experience was composability across mini apps + snapchain + smart contracts on @base.

Here's how it worked:

The Tipn team ( @kompreni @niftytime.eth) has built Tipn Actions which allow Tipn to do more than transfer USDC between FIDs. You can programmatically trigger onchain “actions” whenever a tip is sent via Tipn when someone likes a cast.

In Livecaster's case, when chat participants received protocol reactions, the tipn action would transfer the tip money to a jackpot smart contract I wrote called LiveTipnPot. It would accumulate USDC from tips and every tip granted you an entree into the pot.

Throughout the F1 race as people casted bangers I tipped them from the livecaster account via a like + tipn. That earned them entries to win the pot. The Tipn action was configured so that only likes sent via livecaster app id (there are seperate signers for the app) would trigger the action. Entries were weighted so the more bangers you posted and more you got tipped, the higher your chances of winning.

Shout out to the Tipn team for also contributing a hefty amount of tips and entries!

By the end of the 1.5 hour long race, the pot contract had accumulated $115 USDC and nearly 300 entries for ~40 wallets.

Then the draw() function from the contract was called, seeded with the final number of replies in the thread, to pick one of the random entries onchain and transfer the entire USDC pot balance to them. 

One lucky livecaster got $115 USDC for talking about F1 on a Sunday morning in a Farcaster mini app. That's like going to your local sports bar and winning $115 just for showing up and bringing good vibes.

There's something magical about multiple apps talking to each other onchain without users having to do anything other than show up and use a mini app.

It feels like you're just casting and liking casts but under the hood the onchain legos are moving money around in ways that unlock new social finance experiences. Shout out @neynar for the infrastructure unlocking this too!

Cross chain. Composable. Mini-app enabled. Non-crypto content on crypto rails. Magic ✨

across our stack (APIs, webhooks, kafka streams) denote which client an event is from 

i.e. was the cast was from Farcaster client, Livecaster or Coinbase TBA

same for reactions, follows, etc. 

unlocking new kinds of products on Farcaster 🪐

why, in the feed api, do some casts not include the user's score?

I honestly believe this Onchain backless ninja at the majestic @farcaster arch woulda shoulda coulda been a banger on Farcaster
