About Snickerdoodle
Sponsored Casts are a new kind of cast for the Farcaster ecosystem. They allow anyone to publish a sponsored frame. Sponsors fund a bounty paid to both the publisher and the viewer. We believe that your attention and highly curated audiences are valuable assets. We also know that at any moment, organizations, brands, and causes are trying to garner attention and access to those audiences. Sponsored Casts are a simple, efficient way to reward you for the value you create while expanding the reach of those in need. Create a Sponsored Cast using one of our Ad Frame URLs in your cast. This will automatically render the Ad Frame and register you as the publisher.
