The best mini app builders optimize for building on mobile. A few general tips for making best-in-class mobile mini apps:

1. Simplify screens

2. Make buttons and touch targets bigger

3. Remove unnecessary crypto jargon and UI complexity

Example: Crowfund mini app

Here's an example on how to improve a popular mini app, Crowdfund.

1. Consider moving anything optional to after you complete the primary action, so in this case the comment would come after the donation

2. Make the primary action -- adding a donation amount -- bigger and place it front and center

3. USDC + logo, the wallet selected are not useful for 95% of people

4. The available balance is useful, so consider making that a clear secondary piece of info

5. Make the primary button big and easy to tap on a mobile device.

Here are the current priorities:

1. Crypto

• Wallet

  • Focus is still growing usage — over 95,000 funded wallets!

  • Second focus is on making mini apps better — new dev tools this week!

  • Deprecating Frames v1 — exploring a date

2. Social

• Storage Redenomination

• Signups for Free with social proof

3. Protocol

• Snapchain migration — please move over to Snapchain

  • Launch Overview

Below are a list of 10 Farcaster mini apps that use USDC to simplify UX.

1. Morpho - earn yield

2. Tab - pay friends on Farcaster

3. Amps - pay to boost posts

4. Give - donate to charity

5. eSIM - buy data eSIM

6. Ponder - prediction market betting

7. Megapot - decentralized lottery tickets

8. Farville - mint custom farmer avatar

9. Betttr - sports betting

10. Gitbot - bounties for AI agents and people

Note: some mini apps may not be available in all regions.

If you're developing Farcaster Mini Apps and want them to integrate seamlessly with large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, there's now a purpose-built tool for you:

https://miniapps.farcaster.xyz/llms-full.txt

This file distills the entire Farcaster Mini App documentation—including setup, SDK usage, embeds, manifests, wallet support, and more—into a single LLM-ingestible format. It enables:

• Full-context RAG workflows with any GPT-style model

• Offline use with tools like Cursor or local models

• Custom AI assistants trained on Farcaster Mini App dev knowledge

• Fast onboarding for new developers using ChatGPT or Claude

Unlike sprawling web docs, llms-full.txt is structured for language models:
no layout noise, just dense, useful text formatted for parsing.

How to Use It

• Copy or curl it into your local AI tooling

• Link it in your own docsets, devtools, or GitHub repos

• Prompt AI agents with: "You have the full Farcaster Mini App documentation in context..."

The new tools are focused on validating, previewing and publishing mini apps.

We removed building the JSON builder since starter projects and other tools can help with that (more to come) and removed localhost support because it didn't work well and it was a source of frustration for devs, we recommend using a tunnel instead.

We also now provide developers with analytics for mini apps. Developers can now see how many unique users, opens, transactions and unique users with a transaction their mini apps have.

You can access the new dev tools here.

Farcaster

After 8 months of work, Farcaster is now running on Snapchain.

Warpcast and Neynar are reading and writing from Snapchain. Casting across apps is now faster, more reliable and more likely to scale as Farcaster grows.

Here's a video to explaining how it works:

Snapchain unlocks many new improvements:

1. Cheaper storage — we should be able to reduce the cost of storage by 10x today and even more over time as we make improvements.

2. Zero cost signers — moving signers to Snapchain means users can add and remove apps for free.

3. App based storage — Make it easier for apps to sponsor users and enable "free onboarding" for the majority of users who want to join Farcaster
