Farcaster, a decentralized social protocol launched in 2020 by former Coinbase executives Dan Romero and Varun Srinivasan, has made significant strides in redefining how users interact online. Built on Ethereum’s Optimism Layer 2 (and later incorporating Base), Farcaster emphasizes “sufficient decentralization”—allowing users to own their identities, data, and social graphs while enabling permissionless innovation for developers.
