Last night, I began analyzing the Farcaster Pro data (basescan API + Neynar to retrieve user information using the wallet address). Found some interesting insights. I will write about a few, and attach the GitHub repos for anyone who wants to analyze them further. This is the data for the first 24h.

1195 users with 0 followers, 1289 with 1-10, and 125 with no valid acct(?). Using neynar v2/farcaster/user/bulk-by-address

Transactions plateaued after the 10K number hit. Expected, I guess.

Neynar score distribution for all pro users. Median 0.5, majority in the medium range. Pro != high_quality_users I'd assume. Dunno how the metric is computed. (cc @rish )

Next is follower counts. Folks with <= 10 followers are about 1/4th of the subscription. I manually went to their FC profiles (random 10 of them) to make sure it's not a bug in the code.

Yes. I have the csv in the github repos - I verified manually random usernames (note neynar followers # is usually > what you see on fc here), feel free to verify further.

5k of the the pro users have less than 100 followers? That’s kind of strange right? @pichi

I have it on GitHub as a csv (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/manimohans/fc_pro_analytics/refs/heads/main/addresses_fc.csv), but some pointers:
- this csv has around ~11.8K subscribers (first 48 hours, not 24h, use an older commit for 24h) - the number of followers for folks @ 48h will be different from 24h. A few 0s moved to 1-10s and so on. I think the neynar scores change weekly so thats probably ok - unless they update scores on a Thursday. Hope this helps.

very important.

you're like 90% of the way there but i think porting all the data into a filterable google sheet that people can easily download for future airdrops would be huge

I find that scenario to be highly unlikely

Unless you mean the bot owner is trying to get their alts more followers

Then maybe

I'm sure @geoffgolberg will run some analysis I don't understand to draw some conclusions I don't understand but agree with at some point :)

could be that 0 follower accounts are hoping to grow by getting the Pro subscription. reflects how the pay-to-win mindset is baked into our SM realities/expectations at this point.

Interesting data will be leaked! I took a quick look yesterday and noticed that even newly registered users got badges!!! :))

@mvr @cryptonjal @compez.eth 

I think you all will be very interested in this!

Speculation to the max!?!?!?

Interesting info! I use farcaster every day but don't get a lot of traction here - mostly I'm using the apps that I find fun like farcade. I'm curious how many of the low neynar score buyers are active within some of these Mini Apps like myself

Love the data points, thanks for sharing

there have only ~700 pro subscribers once the NFT "sold out"?

almost 50% of buyers had 100 or less followers, interesting

What I’ve learned about myself from looking at this data is that I have a high neynar score (~.77) relative to other accounts in my account creation category (above 1 mil) at least in the proaccount data set. 

This is so fun to look at and study. Thanks for sharing!

@codygunton I think you’ll find this interesting!

Wdym about high score users you mean neynar score?

You’re a real one for providing all the links and repos. That is often heavily overlooked of overly guarded which makes it harder for newer ppl to learn.

thanks for this work! 
does this work mean
we can conclude that 
around 50% 
of the pro NFT
and pro memberships
are held by bots and/or
or farmers 
of some sort?

Really cool to see the numbers visualized like this. Appreciate the deep dive! 3000👏🏻

thank you for this man, really appreciate you

Great thread! Thanks for sharing! It makes sense to me that people would make multiple accounts in order to mint more NFTs to try and flip in future.

@general-ism I know you got something to say about this 🫴🎤
