Farcaster
A decentralized social network where you own your identity.
Farcaster is a decentralized social network that lets users own their identity and connect with others through software. It provides an open protocol for building and distributing social applications, including mini apps that run inside the Farcaster feed. Developers can access and sync network data, implement sign-in with Farcaster, and build on top of the protocol permissionlessly.
Farcaster uses a decentralized protocol where users own their identity, and developers can build apps and mini apps on top of the network by syncing data via snapchain nodes.
