A bit technical, and a work in progress, but here's a more detailed map of how the Farcaster protocol works.

Important concepts:

1. What's onchain vs. offchain

2. Apps that directly use Hubs vs. middleware infra (makes it easier for devs)

Isn't there a 1P Warpcast API?
If so, where does it fit and are there any apps other than Warpcast using it?

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

We are encouraging folks to use other APIs like Neynar, Airstack, Searchcaster.

Warpcast doesn't want to be in the API biz long term

👍  good

That's one of the Lens design choices I'm not a fan of. They encourage everyone to use their Lens API.

To be fair to them, it's a way simpler developer experience then having to navigate subsystems.
