Hacking on Farcaster at FarHack? Look here for our bounties

[Montoya]

MetaMask is proud to be sponsoring FarHack, May 3-5 2024! Read on to learn about our bounties and how to get started building with MetaMask Snaps and Farcaster:

Bounties

We have two bounties, 500 USDC each, for integrating Farcaster data (and optionally enabling users to post to Farcaster) into MetaMask with MetaMask Snaps in a useful and meaningful way. Projects that qualify for this bounty will be in the "Farcaster Clients" track at FarHack. Have a look at the example projects below to learn how this is possible.

Getting started with Snaps

The MetaMask Snaps Documentation includes getting started guides, tutorials, detailed explanations of features, best practices, and references to guide you as you build your Snap. There are also additional tools that will help you on your journey:

• The Snaps Simulator is useful for local testing, building user interfaces, and can even be used in E2E tests.
• We have many example Snaps that demonstrate how to use the various features.
• We also have a YouTube Playlist with many deep-dive tutorials.

Integrating Farcaster with MetaMask

Our team has built multiple example projects to help you get started. You can fork these or just use them for inspiration:

• Farcaster Insights pulls Farcaster account information when interacting with Ethereum addresses
• FarNotify shows trending tokens on Farcaster
• FarFeed pulls the MetaMask channel feed into a Snap page

You can install and try each Snap from the website and also navigate to the GitHub repository to see how they were built.

Caveats

Please note that Snaps only work on MetaMask extension, not mobile.

Snaps that use features like network access need to be allowlisted by our team before they can be installed by users on MetaMask stable. Anyone can install your Snap on MetaMask Flask. If you would like to have your Snap allowlisted, just reach out to us after the hackathon!
