1.2 On-Chain + Off-Chain Architecture Farcaster uses a hybrid system: On-Chain: Only critical identity information (like FIDs and storage units) is written on-chain to preserve decentralization and security. Off-Chain (Hubs): Most data—like posts (called casts), reactions, and follows—are stored off-chain on independently operated servers called Hubs. These Hubs replicate and sync data, ensuring that no single party controls the network.

FARCASTER How Does Farcaster Work? 1.1 Decentralized Network Farcaster relies on a Federated model (similar to how email works), where users can connect to a variety of servers or apps running on the protocol. There's no single "owner" of the platform, and users can choose the server (or app) they want to interact with.
