Editorial interest 77/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Fatline is an open-source project for running a Farcaster node with its own client and a way to fund its server costs in USDC.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-24 issue.

For: Farcaster node operators and self-hosters
Worth noticing: A node syncs an approximately 400 GB network snapshot, then catches up over a few hours.

Field notes

The setup flow offers either a daily server rental paid in USDC on Base through x402, or a user-supplied server; the page says approval happens in the user's wallet and unpaid rentals stop. After installation, a node downloads an approximately 400 GB snapshot and catches up over a few hours. The page also links an agent-oriented skill file for Claude Code, Codex, or another command-running agent.
