Farcaster

A second order effect of the contentcoin drama the last couple of days is that the snapchain launch didn’t get as much attention as it should have 

It’s quite impressive what the FC protocol team pulled off. It’s akin to a major hard fork upgrade of a chain mainnet, as you need to maintain liveness during the cutover

Just published a deep dive on Snapchain, the new data layer powering Farcaster.

It’s fast, scalable, and surprisingly user-friendly. More than a tech upgrade, it’s a shift in how decentralized social can actually work at scale.

I wrote this to be clear, beginner-friendly, and useful, whether you’re a curious user or building onchain.


Feedback welcome 🙏

should’ve launched a content coin for it smh

Was just thinking about this, really cool stuff

very difficult stuff. bravo to the team 👏

Can I bother you to TLDR it? Like what’s the main purpose of this vs whatever they were doing prior

Yeah, anyone who’s touched a distributed system knows this was no small feat.
Consensus migrations without halting activity? That’s core infrastructure-level finesse. Deserves way more visibility than it got

Yes, the team didn't pay much attention to marketing. In fact, marketing is also a very important link.
