1. Why it's "Sufficiently Decentralized"
Farcaster doesn't put every "Like" or "Post" on the blockchain (which would be slow and expensive). Instead:
On-chain: Your Identity (username and ID) is on the Ethereum network (Base L2).
Off-chain: Your Casts (posts) and interactions are stored on "Hubs"—a distributed network of servers that anyone can run.
2. Frames: The "Killer Feature"
Frames are small interactive apps inside a post. Without leaving your feed, you can:
Mint an NFT with one click.
Subscribe to a newsletter.
Play a game or vote in a poll.
Shop for physical or digital products.
3. The "Quality Filter" (Registration Fee)
Unlike X or Facebook, Farcaster used to require a $5/year fee to store your data on the network.
Update: As of late 2025, Farcaster has introduced free registration to attract more users, though paid storage remains an option for power users to ensure their data is permanently hosted.
