@neynar is no longer just a third party infra provider. They’re now directly operating both the protocol and the frontend itself.
From a @baseapp.base.eth builder’s POV, the vision Neynar shared alongside the acquisition really stood out to me:
“Enable builders to go from idea to recurring revenue, supported by a builder first network.”
No doubt, that raises some interesting questions around how this lines up with the Base App and where real synergy could start to show up.
Personally, I’ve always felt that the builder first culture of the Base App traces back to Farcaster. So I’m hopeful this transition helps clean up some of the messy overlaps and compatibility issues we’ve all felt between Farcaster and the Base App.
