APIs and SDKs

1. recent updates

   • Reading and writing blocks now available across apps, syncs with Warpcast
   • Neynar user score

2. upcoming next

   • nodejs v2 sdk - there will be few months of transition time
   • more frequent updates of user score

SIWN

1. upcoming next — OAuth 2.0 for better backend security Indexer services
2. upcoming next — ingest subsets of data alongside quality filters

Onchain

1. recent updates — token balances by FID for Base
2. coming next —
   • Base mainnet smart contract to check address → fid
   • thinking of adding user score as part of this where smart contracts can check the quality of a user fully onchain, feedback is appreciated — what would you like to build with this?
   • Running behind since we picked up some of the indexer service work first

Experimental

1. Farcaster actions - spec link
2. Stories and Recaster now writing to each other through /actions
3. still in testing mode — goal is to let Farcaster apps write non protocol data to other apps in a verified manner, reach out if you want to test
4. Not seeing enough traction here yet to invest more. If you want to build something using this, please reach out

Documentation

1. easier to navigate to the right sections
2. more beginner friendly feedback is useful if you got stuck somewhere, shoutout to JP who provided feedback on the new account creation docs
