One thing I learned about: Farcaster
Farcaster is a decentralized social protocol.
- It is a protocol: Anyone can use it (think email)
- Built on Ethereum's Optimism layer
- Accounts are tied to crypto wallets
- “Sufficiently Decentralized”: identities live on-chain, content lives off-chain (on "Hubs")
- Does not depend on a single client (e.g. Warpcast)
- Anyone can run hubs and build new clients
