One thing I learned about: How does Farcaster store data?
Farcaster seeks to connect users while balancing trust with scale.
It follows a mixed, on-chain/off-chain logic:
- On-chain registry: creates accounts and keeps track of identities, permissions, and pointers.
- Off-chain hubs: verifies, stores, syncs, and shares data (e.g. posts, follows).
- User-facing clients: signs messages on behalf of the user and sends them to hubs.
NOTE: Farcaster has just moved its data layer from hubs to Snapchain.
