Farcaster is a decentralized, Web3-powered social protocol built originally on Ethereum and now running on Optimism (a Layer-2 network). It allows users to own their identity, data, and social graph instead of depending on a central company. You connect with an Ethereum address, and your account and identity are secured on-chain, while social content (posts, follows, reactions) is stored via a decentralized “hub” network. What makes Farcaster different from traditional social media is its open, permissionless structure: anyone can build a client or app on top of it, and users can carry their profile and connections across those apps. Also, Farcaster supports “mini-apps” (originally called Frames), which let users embed interactive features like NFT minting, polls, or other decentralized-app functions directly in their posts.
