What is Farcaster and How Does it Work?
Farcaster is a decentralized social network protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain. Unlike traditional social media platforms, Farcaster focuses on decentralization, ensuring users can communicate and discover each other without centralized control. It isn’t a social media app itself but provides the foundation for developers to build decentralized applications (DApps). One popular app built on Farcaster is Warpcast, which offers a social experience similar to Twitter.
Farcaster ensures data ownership and portability. Users own their accounts and connections, allowing them to move freely between different apps built on the protocol. This makes it distinct from centralized platforms, where user data is controlled by a single entity.
