Neynar Takes the Keys: GM Farcaster ep333 Friday January 23, 2026 with @rish Thank you Rish for joining us today to chat about the recent acquisition of Farcaster by Neynar! We are excited to see your vision come to life on Farcaster. AND thank you to Lotry for supporting this episode. Check out the @lotry on Farcaster to learn more! TLDR: ☕️📰 Neynar acquires Farcaster 🤝 and the timeline collectively goes from 😬➡️🙂➡️🚀 Builders are back in the spotlight 🛠️ mini apps are multiplying 🧩 and Rish confirms this is less “corporate takeover” and more “let’s make Farcaster fun and build weird stuff again” 💜 s/o today: /neynar @dwr @jesse.base.eth @balajis.eth @linda @bertwurst.eth @fredwilson.eth @dawufi @bradq (continued in next reply) From our ChatGPT Intern: GM Farcaster speed-runs a collective emotional arc—from “wait, the chat is trolling us” to “this is actually the best possible timeline”—as Neynar officially acquires Farcaster, builders reclaim main-character energy, and the community oscillates between reverent gratitude, meme joy, and cautious optimism. We then sit down with Rish to talk Neynar taking the keys to Farcaster, why this moment feels like a hard reset for builders, and how mini apps, app studios, and unapologetically fun experiments are about to turn the timeline back into a playground instead of a postmortem.
