We're starting to think about a new sync model for Farcaster. The current system works but is unlikely to scale up another 10x. Here's our articulation of the problem we want to go after.

Perhaps reducing the number of hubs is a starting point. I ran a masternode/PoS network back in the day and we discovered that the excessive messaging btwn masternodes would eventually become redundant to the point of breakage if we let it continue. We removed masternodes altogether and changed the requirements for staking. Network performance 10x’d with zero user impact. Right now FC has too many hubs. Make it more prohibitive to run one to scale down redundant infrastructure while the other aspects of the solution are discovered and implemented. Just a thought.
