... we got full analytics. to me thats big since we report analytics to clients all the time and now don't have to rely on our own history when a client asks about the Farcaster app stats specifically. I'd still recommend having Posthog or another solution so you have true stats.
Collectibles additionally are interesting as they are so integrated into the Farcaster app just like Zora Coins in the Base app. 1 of 1 bigging markets aka NFTs making a comeback? Let's see.
The coolest Collectibles utilization I saw so far is Samantha from humankind candles selling 2 custom candles via bidding on the collectible of the cast https://farcaster.xyz/samantha/0x37419eb6

ROC is shipping their first cameras. This is super cool, because it’s a camera that verifies you took the picture at that time for real using cryptography! A true counter force to fake images.
We’ve shipped the first three roc.camera devices from /faust and more start going out today 🪨 🎉 Back in Oct 2024 we set a north star: build a camera that captures verifiably real moments for humans in the age of AI And so here is our raw v1: 80% now, working on the last 20% -- excited to start testing that hypothesis today We’ve been beta testing with a few folks the past few weeks and ironing out bugs / issues. Big thanks to the folks that have been willing testers (@7858.eth, @nicholas and @austink) Interested in providing feedback / testing? DM me Domestic orders first (in the US) then international orders. Early edition $399 ends Aug 10, as we move into post-tariffs batch 2 pricing for v1. This is happening (!?) If you've read this (yes, you) -- thank you. Excited to get you a Roc Camera, and real human moments to you, soon https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/e378acff-c6ec-42ac-34f3-1528c8c5ec00/original https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/bf5f0ed0-bcd3-437a-4d76-d34b19793100/original https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/e5a82063-5644-4169-13d5-a670ee90ed00/original https://roc.camera
What did you see? tag @samuellhuber.eth on Farcaster to ping great insights for next week's episode.
Here's the current overview of Farcaster metrics.
How much funds do users hold? aka what's the liquidity you can tap into? How much of these is held by quality users?
Is the network growing? How many of these users are considered quality (using OpenRank global scores for filtering). How does activity look like?
Which chains are used the most among influential accounts and how does Base vs Solana dominance look like?
How many daily active users (DAU) does Farcaster have right now? How much activity exists aka how many new posts? how many of these new posts are from quality users?
The full data can be viewed live on the Dune Dashboard
In regards to analytics make sure you setup Mini App context enhancements. Meaning you manually annotate your Posthog, Facebook Pixel, Google Tag Manager etc with the FID + the client and source of where someone opened the mini app from e.g. notifcation, cast and so on.
By doing this you have way way more data and learn where your usage is driven from to grow!
