Snapchain is now live! 

Warpcast and Neynar are reading and writing from Snapchain. Casting across apps is now faster, more reliable and more likely to scale as Farcaster grows. 

I recorded a new beginner friendly video series to explain how this works:

This is a monumental effort from the team! 

The problem statement was written in August and we are live on mainnet in less than 8 months. I think that might be a new record. 

Huge shoutout to @sanjay @dynemyte and @cassie who worked tirelessly to make this happen.

The other reason we're really excited about Snapchain is that it unlocks many new improvements: 

1. Cheaper storage! We should be able to reduce the cost of storage by 10x today and even more over time as we make improvements. 

2. Zero cost signers. Moving signers to Snapchain means users can add and remove apps for free. 

3. App based storage. Make it easier for apps to sponsor users and enable "free onboarding" for the majority of users who want to join Farcaster.

Snapchain is still brand new, so expect a few road bumps over the next few months as we scale it out. If you run into any issues running Snapchain nodes, please DM me or @sanjay

congrats! i admit initially was not very sure about this direction, but following how you and Dan clarified many aspects of it I am super excited about what is to come 💪🏼

Excellent way to visualize how it works I feel smarter just from watching that YouTube video thank you ser

I don't know what this is but I will say it's awesome

This is great, can’t wait for the follow up videos!

Anything we should consider when spinning up a node to add support?

SO HYPED 🎊 hope to see more official Farcaster videos 👀
