Farcon Rome got announced, we are getting more and more transaction features and USDC rewards for holding in the wallet contributed to bringing more then approximatly 5 million USD into Farcaster accounts. Liquidity is increasing and we hit a new all time high of users of the Farcaster app of 100k (can be wallet only users + lurkers).

Farcon Rome is happening on May 4–5, 2026 with public ticket sales starting soon.
