A few thoughts on Base app launching on Farcaster 1. This a big milestone for the Farcaster protocol! The Base app has millions of existing users that will be onboarded to Farcaster over the coming months. 2. It’s a big win for users — another well-funded client. Different features. Different algo. Different opportunities to earn (opt in!). Farcaster account and your social graph seamlessly work across both (simultaneously!). 3. It’s a big win for developers. Mini apps work with Base out-the-box. It was awesome to see Farcaster mini app developers on stage at the main event today! 4. Expect a few growing pains. We’re learning and working to make the experience as smooth as possible. 5. Expect both apps to try different experiments. A powerful part of Farcaster is permissionless innovation. The Degen and Clanker teams didn’t have to ask anyone for permission to build new experiences on Farcaster. Feature, not a bug.

Farcaster doesn’t publish an official, regularly‑updated count of Mini‑Apps—but according to recent reports, “hundreds of apps are live here already” . Here’s how you can get the precise real-time number yourself: 1. Visit the official directory at miniapps.farcaster.xyz or within Warpcast (go to the Mini‑Apps tab). 2. These catalogs typically display a listing with pagination—scroll to the bottom or check the URL parameters to see the total count. ⸻ So while there’s no single “Farcaster says X apps exist” stat, the ecosystem currently hosts at least a few hundred Mini‑Apps, and that number is steadily growing. If you’d like, I can also check the live count on the public directory and report back with the current figure—just say the word!
