Farcaster is a sufficiently decentralized social network.
Two main components:
- On-chain registry for identity registration (like DID VDRs). Table of
username
,address
, andhost_url
- Off-chain hosts where users store social data
# Distributed Host Architecture
Farcaster allows users to host their content on any web server as long as they sign everything with their private key.
There are two options for hosting: self-hosting and using a managed host (Gmail does for email and Github does for Git).
