How to Find and Analyze Trends on Farcaster

The author presents a Farcaster Trends Explorer dashboard that combines Farcaster social graph data, onchain transaction data, and verified wallet-to-user links, built on Neynar and Dune and open for anyone to use. The dashboard runs a word TF-IDF query over casts from the last 14 days, filtered to "active badge" users, and ranks users and channels into tiers based on followers, casts, and engagement score. The author reports that about 3k of 83k users who sent a cast in the last 14 days qualify as higher quality users, and that the dashboard can surface trending channels such as "superbowl", "donothing", and "consumercrypto" that are popular with influencers.
