Our goal is to scale Farcaster to 1 million daily users. Farcaster will need to handle 10,000 messages / second while staying credibly decentralized. That's roughly in the same order of magnitude as most global credit card networks. Here's our proposal: https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/163

The most pressing problem to solve is network sync. Hubs can achieve consensus without coordination thanks to CRDTs. But they still need to replicate and converge to the same state quickly. We use a combination of snapshots, gossip and differential sync to achieve this.

A higher hub cost is going to cut down on hobbyists “helping” the network, which will likely lead to more resiliency at the p2p layer. Libp2p can kind of suffer when there’s way too much traffic coming from people running toasters.

This is way too cheap First 500 casts can be cheap, but people doing 10k casts *and want to keep these casts around* surely can pay. Most people will be totally ok to start losing their old casts after exceeding their limit 96% of social medias’ value is recent content. Old & good content gets recreated organically

If the cost to maintain the network and decentralization is linearly growing with the user count or db size, will Farcaster be scalable? I do think a sharding solution is a must.

Does “credibly” decentralized differ from “sufficientlly” decentralized which used to be the defining attribute before?
