Let’s turn it around: How many client are there that can or want to read directly from hubs/snapchain without an aggregator service in the middle

Not sure that's relevant? Neynar existing and making this easy is a great thing for developers. Most Ethereum or Solana projects with a lot of users use middleware, too.

Just saying. I don’t see much development happening in that regard, no good indexing solutions or APIs outside of basically just neynar and Dune

Thanks! Please don’t take this as criticism on your product, you’re doing a great job 🙏 Just pointing out that we’re still a centralized protocol on top of centralized indexers

Thanks 1/ Farcaster is still a small platform. How many developer platforms do you expect to exist before more clients exist? Can’t run a platform with one client as a customer 2/ alchemy, simple hash (RIP), Helius are all centralized solutions? What decentralized indexers are you comparing to?

it’ll happen, matter of time Farcaster is much younger than ethereum. Ethereum started with infura as platform. We’re in the infura stage.

Agree. But we should always maintain client diversity, both in end user apps and data access. Ethereum lives because it’s not just one RPC, one node, one company building all of this infrastructure but a decentralized network of providers with their own goals but ultimately working together and ensuring the prosperity of the network
