5/14 Farcaster's design allows different social apps to work together smoothly, much like how email systems interact across the internet. This approach introduces a new standard for digital communication, giving users more options for how they connect and interact online.

6/14 The protocol’s core architecture consists of a decentralised network that allows users to maintain a singular social graph across multiple applications. This ensures that users retain their identity and network connections, regardless of individual app restrictions.

7/14 A key differentiator is its client-server relationship. Unlike centralised platforms where a single client interacts with a centralised server, Farcaster allows for multiple servers, each offering diverse features and reducing the risk of power concentration.

9/14 Farcaster Frames are redefining interaction by allowing users to engage with dynamic content directly in their feeds. They make casts interactive, supporting user actions without leaving the app, increasing Farcaster's DAU growth as developers embrace crypto-native features.
