Storage units are rented by new users. About 285k have been issued. Farcaster caps and periodically increases the number of active storage units to help hub operators manage their infrastructure. The limit was just increase to 500k and hub operators should plan to have at least 30+ GB of storage.

Hubs are adding several hundred megabytes of data every day. We plan to keep storage cost constant until hubs get to 100GB and then increase it slowly if demand keeps rising. We expect this will take the rest of the year to reach at current growth rates.

Hubs are also being re-designed to scale to 500k daily users. They currently support about 50k comfortable. The first part is rewriting our hot paths into Rust, which is nearly complete. The second part will be redoing our sync architecture, which just kicked off this week.

You’re hitting 400k+ fids now - do you have plans on more than 500k to say 1M?
