How Farcaster Hubs work Hubs validate, storage and replicate account messages to other hubs in a decentralized way. There are 3 main components: storage, p2p and sync.

1. Storage Messages received by Hubble are forwarded to the Storage engine which forwards them to the appropriate CRDT Set. Once validated by the CRDT Set, messages are persisted to RocksDB and events are emitted to listeners.

Curious why Farcaster uses CRDTs? Do sets of updates get created in different places and merged in arbitrary order? If so, CRDTs are probably needed, but if one hub controls the creation of each set, techniques like event sourcing can provide smaller states
