@farcaster

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!

introducing snaps 🫰 a new primitive for the feed. buttons, sliders, inputs, toggles, charts, grids, images, polls, games, transactions. all live and interactive inside a cast. easy to build, powerful to use. explore what's possible with snaps 👇 https://snap-kitchen-sink.host.neynar.app/

adding something new in your home feed -- icymi casts not everything in your feed has to be from today. icymi is built to surface good casts that are older but still worth your time. things like music, stories, recipes, good advice, art, and interesting discussions. if you come across a cast that doesn't belong, tag me. we'll be refining what gets surfaced as we go.

Introducing the Clanker Ecosystem Fund (CEF) The mission of the CEF is to distribute protocol fees to creators and communities who positively contribute to the Clanker and Farcaster ecosystem $8m has bought 14% of the $CLANKER supply, yet has not proven to be an effective use of funds Sometime in the next few weeks, we'll be redirecting protocol fees back to the ecosystem, as well as using it to fund ongoing Clanker infrastructure more soon -- who's running the fund, how the splits work, and how to get involved. clank clank
