I just signed the Farcaster Pledge committing to keep this place fun and productive 🤝 Have you signed yet?

I would love to run a validator node. I wonder how to prove the stability?
We're excited that all of you're excited. Thank you for all the messages yesterday, there's a lot of work to do ahead.
Answering some frequent questions I got:
- Is anything shutting down?
no
- Will Neynar also run the wallet?
yes, we are acquiring the client
- What about validator nodes?
Merkle and Neynar are bo

Neynar was already synonymous with farcaster.
This sounds like it should make development that much cleaner.
Neynar is acquiring Farcaster.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll transfer ownership of the protocol contracts and code repositories, the Farcaster app, and Clanker to Neynar. They will run and maintain everything going forward.
Some members of the Merkle team, Varun, and I will step back from day-to-day work on Farcaste

One mindset that’s helped me stay sane:
"Look at who you are today vs. 6 months ago. Then imagine what another 6 months of steady effort can do."
That framing feels especially relevant to decentralized social. Progress here is real, even if it’s uneven and imperfect. What matters is direction, not short-term engageme...
In 2026, I plan to be fully back to decentralized social.
If we want a better society, we need better mass communication tools. We need mass communication tools that surface the best information and arguments and help people find points of agreement. We need mass communication tools that serve the user's long-term int

Build it once, let the protocol live on its own. permissionless. decentralized.
This is the core concept that originally had me strongly hooked on blockchain, and its how I always envisioned an on-chain future.
My vision for @moodcheck (and why it isn't shipped yet) is to build something completely independent from me.
Permissionless. Self-sustaining. A perfect flywheel requiring zero human input.
I don't want to make promises. I want to demonstrate value.
A product that sells itself without its creator.

You are not a real degen until you lose track of all your wallets and any USB or computer scattered around your house might hold some treasure.

Did claude stop auto-compacting for anyone else? Seems like something changed.

An idea I've had.. (mini-app?)
I enjoy responding to content, but not all content I see resonates.
I spend more time searching and less time responding.
What if we could build an agentic flow that learns about us and presents us relevant content.
fully agnostic to engagement or social metrics.
Maybe this exists? @garrett

Just had a look at my message requests which I hadn't looked at in a while and...
dam..
Its so obvious when a message is dishonest/scam-like
I remember when dm's were strong ways to connect. But honestly if your genuine and want to chat, interact on people's posts and get a follow first.
Its that simple.
