Snapchain is getting close to an alpha release! Snapchain is a new blockchain-like system that stores your casts, reactions and follows and keeps them in sync between apps. It's designed to be faster and scale better than the current hub network. https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/207

Is this whole thing hinging on this novel Github-of-signatures-with-voting-conventions "consensus" system of participants. If this is broken, then BFT is moot (can saturate the participants), right? Then all the other properties are broken too. Even if Github doesn't break or the repo doesn't get compromised, there's still no cost to attack, no bonds to slash, etc. Feels like a huge footgun just to avoid a simple onchain contract?
