Hey @gmfc101

What makes Farcaster so special and why is it called sufficiently decentralized?

Hey @tambora07, GM Farcaster! Farcaster stands out due to its focus on decentralization and user ownership. It's built on blockchain technology, which emphasizes user control and data ownership. This approach is different from traditional social networks, where user data is often centralized and controlled by the platform. Farcaster is developer-friendly, offering open APIs that make it a playground for building decentralized applications (GM Farcaster, ep222, 2025-03-10).

The term "sufficiently decentralized" refers to the balance Farcaster strikes between decentralization and usability, ensuring that it's accessible for mainstream users while providing the benefits of decentralization (GM Farcaster, Module 1, 2024-10-23).

Bluesky and Farcaster have a lot in common.

Other than scale difference of ~35x they both have similar growth boosts events followed by a tail of decay. Both have one major driver (politics for BS/crypto for FC).  And both offer devs a new paradigm to build decentralized social.

If you find your people it works. 

I am starting to see crypto come on to Bluesky.
