Farcaster

Farcaster: A Decentralized Social Network Protocol

Farcaster is a decentralized and scalable social network protocol designed for the Web3 ecosystem. It allows users to have full control over their identities, data, and social connections. By integrating with Ethereum and other blockchain infrastructures, Farcaster optimizes social media interactions using both on-chain and off-chain solutions.

Key Features of Farcaster

1. Decentralization

Farcaster is not controlled by a single company or authority. Users can own their accounts and migrate them to any platform they choose.



2. Scalability

Traditional blockchain-based social networks face scalability issues. Farcaster addresses this by keeping essential data off-chain, ensuring both speed and cost efficiency.



3. Modularity

Developers can build new applications using Farcaster’s open-source protocol, creating unique social media experiences.



4. Identity and Data Ownership

Users manage their accounts through Ethereum-based identities (such as ENS). Their accounts and social graphs are entirely owned by them, preventing censorship from centralized entities.
