follow-up: @beeper appears to have been hacked. the notification sent via the beeper mini app is fake and did not come from the @farcaster account. we've blocked the token on clanker so it's no longer accessible. do not interact with anything related to the beeper notification or the beeper mini app.

friendly security reminder since we're still seeing new scam mini apps pop up every day. 🚨 if any mini app or link asks for your seed phrase, private key, or recovery phrase → it's a scam. close it immediately. no legitimate app will ever need this. not for rewards, not for verification, not ever. 🚨 red flags to watch for: ⚠️ wallet connection requests private information, seed phrase, private key, or recovery phrase ⚠️ wallet connection requests that ask for large or unlimited token approvals ⚠️ impersonation accounts with slightly altered usernames or domains (farcester ≠ farcaster) ⚠️ "send first" to unlock rewards or double your money ⚠️ urgency tactics like "only 10 minutes left!" "claim now!" ⚠️ new accounts with no history, replies, or social proof simple habits that protect you: - read every transaction prompt before signing, so you know what it is doing - avoid unlimited token approvals unless you deeply trust the app - don't interact with random DMs offering anything that requires clicking links or downloading anything to manage your signers: on mobile go to Settings → Advanced → Manage Connected Apps and revoke anything you don't 100% trust. you can always re-grant access later, so err on the side of caution. on-chain transactions are irreversible. please sign carefully.

farcaster is not launching a token. the token talk circulating right now is tied to hypersnap, a fork of the farcaster protocol. the hypersnap team has been referring to their token as a "farcaster token". understandably this has caused confusion for the broader network who don't follow the technical aspects of the protocol. to be clear, this isn't a comment on the fork effort. we just don't want the speculation to continue bringing noise we don't want here: bots, farmers, and scam accounts that drag down the experience for everyone. so if you're joining the farcaster app today in anticipation of a token, there is no farcaster protocol token drop. sharing the facts lets us get back to our main focus: building a better network.

adding something new in your home feed -- ✨ relevant for you "relevant for you" pulls casts into your feed that have content similar to other casts you've engaged with, but from accounts you don't follow. if you come across a cast that doesn't belong, tag me. we'll be refining what gets surfaced as we go, so all feedback is good feedback.

introducing the new stewards of the Clanker Ecosystem Fund (CEF): @gmfarcaster - @adrienne & @nounishprof they have been two of the most embedded people on farcaster since almost the beginning, and staying on top of everything being built here is literally their job. they'll make decisions independent from the clanker/farcaster/neynar teams. humans over algorithms means no gaming the system, just resources flowing to people actually doing the work. 20% of clanker protocol fees go back into the ecosystem via the CEF. 60% to infrastructure and taxes, 20% flexible strategic reserve (allows for buying $clanker, giving more to CEF, etc.) developers, creators, tinkerers, experimenters: if you're building here in any capacity, this is for you. more on how to apply soon.

heads up: there's a wave of scam bots posting fake "claim airdrop" mini apps right now if you see one, don't click it ❗ a few things that should be red flags for these scams ❗ — nothing casted about it from @farcaster, if we're doing something we will tell everyone about it — nothing about it in /fc-updates (check the "Updates" tab in the sidebar <--) — uses the old farcaster arch logo we're nerfing accounts as we see them (client-side). tag me if you spot one or if you want me to confirm if something is real

lots of community meetups happening this weekend, to add another layer of excitement... it's snapathon time. 🫰 we're challenging the community at meetups in NYC, SF, LA, San Diego, and Boston to make the most creative snap they can. each city picks a winner. winners get showcased by us. not at a meetup? you're still in. build something, submit by Sunday, and we'll let the community vote on the best remote entry Monday. the only rule: make something cool. tag @farcaster and cast your snaps into the /snaps channel so we can see what you build.

new client updates > better visual separation to clearly encase snaps in a cast > latest snap spec requires fitting in a certain height > older snaps are fine and still work (see video) > if building a new snap, nothing additional needed - the skill is already updated to build with the right spec > docs have a page on how to upgrade your snap but it's not required feel free to reply with any questions, also taking ideas on what to add to snaps next docs.farcaster.xyz/snap

snap updates are shipping later today with a batch of UI fixes. here's what you need to know: → building something new? point your coding agent at the skill doc and let the LLM handle it: https://docs.farcaster.xyz/snap/SKILL.md → existing snaps will keep working on Farcaster, no action needed, but you can upgrade if you want: https://docs.farcaster.xyz/snap/2.0/upgrading → preview how your snap looks on the feed in the emulator: https://farcaster.xyz/~/developers/snaps → running a client that renders snaps? upgrade guide here (LLM-friendly): https://docs.farcaster.xyz/snap/2.0/client-upgrade tl;dr: LLMs know what to do. existing snaps work as-is. 🫰

we're continuing to improve snaps based on dev and user feedback. most updates wont be noticiable, but some improvements might break already created snaps. see rish's cast below for how to easily fix them. keep tagging me in feedback, it's super helpful so I can surface everything to the team. i'll also be setting up a group chat for folks who want to be involved in giving detailed feedback/testing, reply below if you want to be a part of that group!
