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

I’ve never seen a more humble and helpful team. 💙
The @neynar crew didn’t just support us — they backed us when it really mattered.

Real builders helping builders. This is how ecosystems grow. 

GG: @rish, @manan, @veganbeef 🫡

hey @curie let's add @manan for crushing on all things @neynar & farcaster devex

It’s so obvious when a world class team is working in crypto.

Thanks Neynar!

This feels taboo but I need help

Vibe coding an app that sends transactions to my smart contract on Base. It's built off @neynar mini-app kit. Transactions work fine on mobile but on desktop I get the error
"transaction failed: TypeError: r.connector.getChainId is not a function"

Cursor has been unable to solve this nor has searching online. It seems to be an issue with WAGMI and the connection to the FC wallet on browser. Oddly, if I refresh the mini-app and try the exact same transaction a 2nd time it works but that's bad UX...

Any suggestions appreciated

cc @rish - there seems to be an issue for me when it comes to likes and recasts showing up on farcaster clients like tunecaster and recaster - added a screenshot. 
Have a feeling it could be due to reactions storage on farcaster, but not 100% sure.

Transfer your Neynar Agent to your own wallet

You can now connect any wallet and transfer your Agent's custody to it. Once transferred, you alone hold the seed. We drop custody completely so this is a one way change.

Try it out and drop feedback below if you hit a snag

another quality of life upgrade - 

at the beginning of 2025, we built the ability to create Farcaster agents in a few clicks inside Neynar dev portal (no account switching or fees)

now you can transfer those agents out to a custody address of your choice, simple transfer flow included in the portal

will allow you to login into other apps with the agent account

I don’t remember buying the $HER token. @neynar 🤔

Here’s a breakdown of the tokens you bought in the past month, along with the total USD amount spent on each:
$HER: $30.86
$noice: $14.07

here's another real world peek at Farcaster's grok equivalent:

if you have access to our agent, you can answer these questions - it could speak about the $fair launch yesterday as the discussions were happening

if you don't have access yet, it's because sometimes it still hallucinates and we are working on that before broader rollout 

soon

this is great, and accurate! nice work, neynar team 🤝🫡

Hallucinating a little bit .. but it got there. @neynar
