Mini Apps: What are they and why we should take them seriously

A few days ago, a big announcement was shared on Farcaster. The Noice mini app now supports Arbitrum. This means anyone can set up tips in any token on the Arbitrum One network.

Noice is currently one of the top 10 trending apps on Farcaster. Just recently, it reached 2 million transactions. This is great news for all Arbitrum-based tokens, as the Noice app currently supports only Base and Arbitrum networks.

What does Noice do?

It lets you tip people automatically for things you already do on Farcaster, like liking posts, commenting, reposting, or following new users. For example, I’ve set it up so that every time I like a cast, I tip the person 1 ARB. The person I tip gets the ARB straight to their Farcaster wallet.

How to set up Noice tipping:

  1. Open the Noice app on Farcaster: Farcaster
  2. Choose any ERC-20 token on Arbitrum to tip with. You’ll need at least $5 worth of the token in your wallet, or it won’t show up.

  1. Decide how much to tip for each action (like, comment, recast, etc).

  1. Turn on Programmatic Tipping. This means setting a budget so you don’t overspend. I usually set mine to $10–15 and refill it manually every few days.

  1. You’re all set. Just use Farcaster as usual, and the app will handle tipping in the background. You can check your wallet for transactions or view stats in the Noice app.

If you need help setting it up, feel free to message me on DM or Telegram. Happy to help.
