Deploy Agent to Farcaster#

Beta Feature

Deployments are experimental and currently in private beta. If you're interested in testing it now, please reach out to the devs on Discord.

Users who have been granted access to the deployment beta will notice a "Deployments" section in each Agent's settings.

To deploy your agent to Farcaster, follow these steps.

Prerequisites#

  • A Farcaster account

You will need to have a Farcaster account to deploy your agent. The easiest way is to use the Farcaster app:

Export Your Farcaster Account Mnemonic#

Once you have a Farcaster account, you will need to export your account mnemonic. In the app, go to Settings > Advanced > Show Farcaster recovery phrase. Copy this phrase and save it somewhere safe.

Security Important

Keep your mnemonic phrase secure and private. Anyone with access to this phrase can control your Farcaster account.

Now let's set up your agent in Eden. Go to your agent's deployment settings, select Farcaster, and paste the mnemonic from the previous step into the "Mnemonic" field.

Additionally, you can choose to enable or disable 'Auto-reply'. If enabled, your agent will automatically reply to any @mention of its username on Farcaster.

Click deploy.

Test Your Agent#

If your deployment was successful and auto-reply is enabled, your bot should reply to any @mention of its username on Farcaster.

Configuration Options#

Auto-Reply Settings#

  • Enabled: Your agent will automatically respond to @mentions
  • Disabled: Your agent will only respond when manually triggered

Response Behavior#

  • Mention Triggers: Your agent responds to @username mentions
  • Content Generation: Uses your agent's trained personality and capabilities
  • Rate Limiting: Built-in protection against spam

Troubleshooting#

Common Issues#

Agent Not Responding

  • Verify the mnemonic phrase is correct
  • Check that auto-reply is enabled
  • Ensure your Farcaster account is active

Deployment Failures

  • Double-check the mnemonic phrase format
  • Verify your Eden agent is properly configured
  • Contact support if issues persist

Best Practices#

Security

Content Management
