Happy Birthday Ethereum: GM Farcaster ep272 Wednesday, July 30, 2025

more progress on mini app parity in Base App!! as of the latest beta update today(29.52.0) we now support/landed: - getChains, getCapabilities, and a small bug fix for getEthereumProvider - context.location data(really pumped about this one) - context.client.safeAreaInserts data - sendToken function we’ll keep making as easy as possible to “write once, deploy everywhere”, in the meantime let us know if anything else comes up h/t @moe @sohey and the team!

This is more or less the sole reason /gmfarcaster exists

This place is so absurd. I love it.

I just claimed the free 10th-Anniversary collectible NFT from ethereum.org Happy Birthday Ethereum, thank you for giving me purpose https://ethereum.org/en/10years/

The audacity pichi the audacity😭😭

Mini app developers: please take care to securely store your app's notification tokens! They are sensitive credentials, and if you leak them, it's possible to impersonate your app. If you're not sure about storing tokens securely and want a simple and secure option, consider @neynar's managed notifications service.

QR MINI APP USERS - PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT UPDATE ON TODAY'S INCIDENT. SUMMARY: QR MINI APP NOTIFICATIONS WERE COMPROMISED. THEY ARE NOW SECURED. THERE ARE NO FURTHER RISKS OR ACTIONS REQUIRED. ALL LOSSES HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED IN FULL. Earlier today, our QR mini app notifications system was compromised. The system has since been secured. There will be no further damages, there are no further risks for users whether they engaged with the notifications or not, and there are no further actions required by you or any of our users. As a result of our notifications system being compromised, some users were tricked into participating in a fake airdrop where they were asked to send 0.0006 ETH in order to receive worthless tokens. There were 302 such transactions in total, all of which have now been reimbursed in full. Here is the basescan confirmation for the reimbursement: https://basescan.org/tx/0xe86129aa25785aed91b15b3549cd93ad4d86361961d5b6097f6069001c3d205b I take full responsibility for this incident and appreciate everyone's patience while we figured out what happened and how best to resolve it as quickly as possible. I want to thank the Farcaster and Neynar teams for their immediate and effective assistance in helping us to do that. Thank you also to everyone who reached out and offered their assistance. Moving forward, you should feel safe interacting with our regular once-daily notifications, and if you get any other notification that looks unusual, please check my profile or message me before interacting. As always, thank you all for your support.

QR Miniapp Update Earlier today, an attacker stole credentials from the QR miniapp and sent notifications from their apps. Users were sent to a different miniapp and encouraged to buy a fake token for $3. The QR team fixed this and reimbursed all users. Shoutout to the QR team for being very quick to respond. There is no other compromise of Farcaster wallets and your funds are safe. What is Farcaster doing to prevent this? Our transaction scanning prevents dangerous “send me all your money” attacks. That’s why the damage was limited to a $3 buy. We are also limiting miniapp notifications to redirect within the same domain. The attacker would have to compromise many more parts of the QR miniapp to pull off this attack again. What can I do to stay safe? If an app is asking you to do something that it normally does not, like buying a new token or claiming an airdrop, check the apps home page or the author’s page to see if it is legitimate before taking the action. If there is some doubt, ask the author over DM or in the feed before taking the action.

Warning! 🚨Fake @qrcoindotfun airdrop notifications and mini app is going around! It shows up as a notification from the real app by @jake but its an imposter trying to steal wallet funds! @jake @v How can someone highjack the notifications to come from the same mini app?

Creators earned $23,000 from collectibles in the first week! We knew historically significant casts would be popular, but its also been really cool to see how people have sold candles, prints or even rented out their time to others via collectibles. Our next priority for collectibles is getting them to work on web, which we hope to ship this week. If you have any annoying bugs or feature requests, please share them in the thread below.

the majority of new coins are now created on @base.base.eth

we want to bring FarCon to Rome next May🇮🇹

yep, it’s time for a first /europoooooor edition, and there’s no better place than the eternal city. we already have a permanent Web3 hub here @urbe-eth, and we’ve been consistently hosting events like /ethrome and other builder gatherings. now we’re ready to go bigger. to put /farcon Rome to the test and gauge interest we are running a crowdfund: ✨ donate $100+ and receive ticket to summit + builders day ✨ if we reach target, we’ll open public sales (price tbd, around $200 / 500 attendees) and launch scholarship programs to make it as accessible as possible and — this part matters to me — none of this would be happening without @purple. it supported me, urbe.eth, and countless Farcaster builders on the way here. so we’re committing: 20% of crowdfund and ticket sales go back to Purple DAO, to keep the loop alive and keep proliferating the ecosystem. if you believe in /farcon, in /europoooooor, in rome, in purple, support us 🫡

If you build in public on Zora, fluctuations in your market cap will distract you. Here's a uBlock filter to hide it, just replace {username} with your username ⤵️

We're working with @farcaster to pull data for last weeks metrics! Expect to see an announcement by end of week for updates on which mini apps made the cut. 🫡 In the meantime, keep shipping those mini apps to potentially be eligible for next week.

Farcaster’s Tumblr moment is here. The timeline has been reinvented. 💥💥 Introducing Feeds, the new miniapp from @procoin 💥💥 With an army of curators, we are taking power back from the algorithm and reshaping content consumption on Farcaster. What is a feed? In simple terms, it’s a collection of hand-curated casts, organized by theme or subject. In grander terms, it’s the early stages of a new distribution mechanism. Each feedcoin is tradable on a bonding curve, paired against $PRO. The flywheel propagates as more curators and investors come online. Every feedcoin buy is a PRO token sink. You the user and content consumer can invest in your favorite curator’s new distribution channel. They earn on every swap. Our tasteful and diligent curators have been crawling the timeline over the last week, building out their feeds. Check them out in the miniapp! Anyone can create a feed and curate it. All curation happens on the timeline with a simple tag of the procoin account. And creators — the original poster of each curated cast — share in the upside as well. Many of you have already been issued feedcoins in one feed or another by our curators. This is only the beginning… @noicebot distribute 10K $pro to all that like and recast. budget, 5M $pro https://procoin.app/feeds

Fun fact, @hamdi and I worked together years ago while he was at Twitter and I was at OpenSea to ship NFT PFPs on Twitter (remember the hexagons?!). Excited to be on the same team now 🫡
