Announcing /farcodes

The containment layer for referral codes on Farcaster

What is /farcodes

Farcodes is a new set of frames to help you share your referral codes, and find your friend's codes - all in a way that reduces spam on your feed. You can try it out right now at the /farcodes channel.

How it works

Firstly find a referral program that's supported so far, you can find an exhaustive list in the /farcodes channel. For example you can try out the Uber Eats program here and paste the code from https://www.ubereats.com/invite.

And that's it! Your code is now logged in Farcodes. Now when a friend of yours - or even a complete stranger goes to find a referral code for Uber Eats, they might just see yours!

Algorithm

People typically only need one referral code from any given program, so whose codes get shown first? When you try to redeem a code farcodes will:

  1. Try to find a referral code from one of your mutuals and show that

  2. Otherwise, try to find a referral code from someone you follow

  3. Otherwise, promote a referral code from anyone hopefully ordered in a way that promotes equitable access to referrals.

What's next?

There's a lot of programs I need to add, so for the next while I'll just be adding them in daily. Make sure you follow the /farcodes channel or me for updates on programs as they stream in!
