Farcaster

The first @farcaster storage units will be expiring around the beginning of August. Check when yours expires at caststorage.com as well as your usage. Once storage expires, hubs will start pruning your data after a grace period meaning you’ll start losing your cast history and potentially followings.

Hi there!

Im curious about why we could potentially lose followers?

Is this relationship onChain or onHub?

Yes it’s not on chain, only certain aspects of farcaster are on chain. Yes if you stop paying rent you will start losing the various aspects that storage pays for e.g followers, casts and reactions

Got it! So our social graph is dynamic and not onchain… in time, only those who pay rent will stay as followers

The onchain component for storage is actually quite small it just emits an event that the hubs pick up and apply to users storage limits in hubs. If you were to run out of storage I believe there is the potential that if you go over your following limit you might start losing people you follow from the oldest follows

Do you mean why you would lose people you follow?
