Snapchain is launching soon! 

It's a blockchain like system that will be 10x - 100x faster than hubs and much more reliable when syncing between Farcaster apps. 

If you don't run a hub, no action is needed. If you do run a hub you will need to:  

- Set up a Snapchain node before Mar 29th 
- Cut over to reading / writing from your node before  Apr 12
- Shut down your hubs after Apr 15th

More details in next cast.

Similar to running a non-validating Ethereum node

For most consumers, there is no benefit. And for everyone, there is no financial incentive

For those that don't want to go through 3rd parties (myself included), running a node allows you direct access to read and write against the protocol directly
