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.

FID vs. score also looked interesting (note: this data is only available for Pro subscribers).

And this was for unknown users. Spiked around 1615 PST. I dont know how this works, am a crypto noob. Is it possible that a bunch of addresses just did the token transaction so that they will get the NFT airdropped? Or a bug with the API? I only tried retrieving info once. @neynar

Link for anyone who want to explore further. Make sure to keep the transaction json file in parent directory, the basescan api only returns last 10k transactions. Reply/DC if you find any bug - I tried to verify the data manually as much as I can. Link:

You can also have fun by dragging and dropping the csv file into your favorite AI. Screenshot from Gemini here.

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

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.

Can you overlay account creation date? I’d be interested to see if they were spun up recently or are existing for a while in stealth mode.

Some are surely new. You can verify this with google sheets that @dwr shared too. Current max fid is ~1.093mil and there are about ~1200 pro fids > 1.090mil.

Initially, there should have been a condition, for example — at least 500 followers and real engagement.
