Farcaster Devs

Neynar

We got a fair number of asks for two things:

1. Developer branded signers for SIWN - so it says "sent from [developer_brand]" instead of saying "sent from neynar"

2. Using SIWN inside mini apps

Both are solved now! 
- mini app developers can now use SIWN to get permissions without leaving the mini app to an external web page
- developers get their own branding

https://docs.neynar.com/docs/mini-app-authentication

In order to get the above benefits, the flow does require slightly more work than earlier (don't worry the earlier approach is still around if you need it). 

If you implemented SIWN previously, you don't have to many changes as a result of this. What you have will continue to work. If you're building new, there's more functionality available now. 

h/t @shreyas-chorge for the work and reach out with any feedback 🪐

We've made managing and using @farcaster signers quite simple, but requesting permissions for signers is still a complicated UX to build. 

We'd seen the hard work @ampsfun, @dashapp, and others had put in to get a system for sign-in + signer approval going within their mini app, and decided to simplify it to the point where it's as simple as a component.

It's secure - the signer identifier and API key never touch the client.

It'll work across 
1. Farcaster - iOS & Android apps + desktop web.
2. Web app - desktop & mobile. Yes, it works outside the mini app context as well.
3. @coinbasewallet - iOS and Android apps coming as soon as they build the signer approval flows. cc @aneri.base.eth @dylsteck.eth :)

This is awesome. Some in-mini-app Tipn Actions have needed reactions to come from an app-specific fid, and if im reading this correctly it will solve that!
