A quick but important update on the Reply platform.

Over the past few days, a major infrastructure and backend overhaul has been completed. This wasn't just about fixing bugs, it was about rebuilding core parts of the system for long-term reliability and scale.

What Was Fixed & Rebuilt:

- Automated Refunds are FIXED: A critical bug blocking automated refunds for expired messages has been resolved. The system is now working as intended.

- Seamless Contract Migrations: The app now has a robust process for migrating to new, upgraded smart contracts. This allows for future feature additions to be deployed smoothly, without interrupting service. This is a huge step for future-proofing the platform.

- Team Updates: The internal tools for managing Farcaster Teams are now much cleaner.

        -> I've already updated the Neynar, QR, Noice, and Amps teams, and added new ones like Clanker.
        -> Help me build this out: If you see a mistake in a team roster or want your own project's team added to the Discover list, please shoot me a DM.

Making Things Right & Saying Thank You

This recent migration means a small number of older messages (on the previous contract) need to be settled manually.

- For those affected: Payouts and refunds for this small group will be processed manually over the next few days (until Sunday).

- A Thank You Airdrop: As a thank you for your patience, both the sender and recipient of these manually processed messages will receive a bonus $REPLY airdrop.

Thank you for being part of this journey. The commitment is to build a platform you can trust.

Closing the loop on the old contract migration.

I mentioned a small number of messages needed to be settled manually. That work is now complete. All 39 pending transactions have been repaid or refunded.

For full transparency, I've created a public sheet with every wallet address and a sum so you can verify everything for yourself: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QfNLLy53_XgEnihQeic73dNNLW5ZYbUboN1B3jIuddc/edit?usp=sharing

And as a thank you for your patience and trust, I've also airdropped extra $REPLY for every one of these transactions.

My commitment is to build a platform you can trust. Now that this is settled, the focus is 100% on the future.

Don't you think gas fee is high
I have set 1$ for reply 
Got 0.95$ only for replying a message.

Building mini apps in Farcaster

Thanks for asking this. It's a really important point.

That 5% difference isn't gas, it's the app's platform commission. It's taken from the receiver's side, so the sender always pays exactly what they see.

I built it this way to give users a choice and to build value into Reply native token. If you set your price in any token, there's a 5% fee. If you use $REPLY, the fee is 0%.

Appreciate you bringing this up so I can clarify for everyone!

Is there a feature for senders to rate or provide feedback on the replies they receive to maintain quality?
I guess there is no option for feedback (don't you think there must be , after all sender is paying to get a reply)

Automatically.
Yes, 100%.
No. Trying not to spam with notifications (discussable)

Thanks for the clear explanation
One more question 
does the refund process happen automatically?and it is 100% right?
Will the Reply app notify users when the 3-day reply window is about to expire?
