Farcaster’s parent company plans to return $180M to its VC backers
#MerkleManufactory , whose flagship product is #Farcaster , will return the $180M it had raised from investors. Several investors, including former Coinbase executive Balaji Srinivasan, confirmed the plan in separate posts. The move comes after Farcaster’s acquisition by #Neynar , which will assume responsibility for maintaining the protocol, operating the Farcaster client, and running Clanker.
Farcaster is a protocol that facilitates the creation and connection of social media apps. It operates on a blockchain infrastructure, promoting transparency, security, and decentralization.

🚀 Farcaster: Rumors vs. Reality! 澄清
There has been a lot of talk lately about Farcaster, but Dan Romero just cleared the air with some major updates. If you are following the decentralized social space, here is the breakdown 👇 $SENT
The Big Highlights:
Farcaster is NOT shutting down: The protocol is working perfectly and will continue to operate. $SCRT
Strong Growth: In December alone, they saw 250,000 Monthly Active Users (MAU) and over 100,000 funded wallets.
New Leadership: A venture-backed startup called Neynar is the new acquirer. They plan to make Farcaster even more developer-focused. $FOGO
Merkle Update: Merkle is planning to return the full $180M raised back to its investors.
Takeaway:
Despite the rumors, the ecosystem is evolving. With Neynar taking the lead, we might see a wave of new decentralized apps being built on the protocol soon.

Is Web3 social already Game Over?
In the past week, the Web3 decentralized social track has almost been declared 'dead penalty'.
On January 20, Lens was acquired by Mask Network; on January 22, Neynar, the core infrastructure service provider of Farcaster, completed the acquisition directly.
Ironically, Farcaster only completed its Series A financing in May 2024, raising $150 million, with a valuation as high as $1 billion.
A lot of money has been spent, the ideals are grand, but the outcome is still the same.
The reason for the failure of decentralized social is actually not complicated:
First, decentralization ≠ user value.
Ordinary users do not care about whether 'the private key is in my hands'; what they care about is: is it easy to use, are there people, and can they gain attention and benefits? Web3 social has long been trapped in 'technical self-indulgence' without addressing real social needs.

FARCaster ACQUIRED! Neynar TAKES OVER.
This is HUGE news. Farcaster's core infrastructure provider Neynar has acquired the entire protocol. Dan Romero confirms the contract, codebase, and apps transfer soon. This is a "baton pass" for Farcaster's future. Neynar knows this ecosystem inside out. Expect fresh momentum and a clearer dev path. But there's backlash. $150M raised at $1B valuation, no proven PMF or revenue. Is this a high-valuation exit? The decentralized narrative clashes with capital moves. This acquisition sparks debate on VC pricing, founder duty, and true decentralized governance. The market is watching.

Major shakeup in decentralized social. Farcaster is now under Neynar's control. This is a massive shift. Neynar, the backend powerhouse, takes over operations.

Questions loom about decentralized promises versus capital realities. This acquisition reignites the debate on VC funding, founder accountability, and true decentralized governance. The market is watching.

Vitalik's vocal support for decentralized social platforms comes at an unusual moment—right as both Farcaster and Lens are changing hands.
Most would wait for stability, but he's leaning in. What's interesting here is the contrast: centralized platforms are tightening control, while these protocols are restructuring ownership models entirely. The tech's been around, but adoption's lagged.
His public encouragement now, during leadership shifts, might signal confidence that the next phase isn't about founders—it's about resilient infrastructure. Whether users follow is another question.

From 'Shovel Seller' to 'Miner': Neynar devours Farcaster, is this the end of decentralized social or a new beginning?
1. An announcement, an era ends
On January 21, Dan Romero and Varun Srinivasan sent a brief 300-word farewell letter on Warpcast: The Farcaster protocol, official client, Clanker, and all code repositories will be handed over to Neynar in the coming weeks. The two founders will only retain the identity of 'observers' as they turn to 'search for the next mountain.'
This is just 20 months away from Farcaster completing a financing round led by A16z at a valuation of $1 billion in May 2024; it’s also only a Christmas season away from the community rumors circulating in Q4 2025 that 'Coinbase will take over.'
