If we can write everything onchain fast and cheap. Does fc architect still need hubs? Would indexer suffice?

The main purpose for a blockchain (as in cryptocurrency) is to form consensus on tx serialization. However, Farcaster doesn’t need this property. Eventual consistent with CRDT is sufficient and much more efficient. Engineering is about real world trade-offs, a single solution that fix everything doesn’t exist.

I’m working on CRDT implementations on a p2p messaging protocol. Essentially a DAG syncing protocol that’s locally synced client side

Good point ser. fc need data availability and consistency. So this is more of a if blockchain is overkill for this use case question.
