Farcaster is awesome. Does anyone know how content is stored on Warpcast? Is IPFS or Arweave being used?

Good question.  I'm curious about this too tbh 

@zinger @slokh @j4ck.eth @dylsteck.eth @kia do any of you guys know?

I don’t think Warpcast uses IPFS or Arweave, I think they just index data from hubs and store it in a Postgres database on AWS or something like that

Probably wouldn’t be performant enough to use IPFS or Arweave purely as your “database”

Although separately I’m sure someone could build a tool to save your personal casts to a tool like Arweave for long term storage(since some of your casts could be pruned with the cast storage model)

yeah I think they use a platform like Cloudflare as their CDN

The same even for images/video? I guess a storage bucket would likely be more performant in this case too?

right clicked on images from a few different posts. looks like supercast uses pinata and warpcast uses a local cache
