Neynar offers hosted infrastructure and APIs that let developers read and write social data on decentralized protocols and avoid running costly hubs themselves. Its core tools include endpoints for immediate protocol data (profiles, casts, follows), write APIs that sign and push user content, and web hooks for real‑time updates. The team entered the Farcaster ecosystem in 2021 and most current customers are building on Farcaster, though Neynar aims to support multiple social protocols over time. Neynar emphasizes simplifying the developer experience and abstracting blockchain friction for end users (e.g., fees, usernames, private keys). Developers began paying for the service immediately after an initial landing page test, and Neynar offers hosted hubs starting at $9 per month to replace running hubs that cost hundreds monthly. The company positions itself as an infrastructure layer to help decentralized social networks attract mainstream users by enabling fast developer iteration and Web2‑like experiences.
