How Farcaster Creators Cash Out with Minisend
From Tips to Cash
Farcaster has created an incredible economy for creators. Tips, rewards, and payments flow freely onchain. But at some point, you need to pay rent, buy groceries, or send money to family — and that requires local currency.
Minisend makes this simple.

1. Access Minisend
You can find Minisend directly on Farcaster as a miniapp, or visit app.minisend.xyz from any browser. No downloads, no installations.
