Farcaster

Consumer Services · Los Angeles, United States · Founded 2020

A decentralized social network built on the Ethereum blockchain, operating as a public platform similar to X and Reddit. Users can create profiles, publish short messages called "casts," and follow other users. The protocol allows for the creation of "Mini Apps," which are web applications built with standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) that function directly within the Farcaster feed. These applications can integrate with native Farcaster features through a software development kit (SDK). To create an account, a user needs an Ethereum address to register a username and set up a profile. The business model appears to be centered around providing the infrastructure and protocol for a decentralized social ecosystem, with revenue potentially generated from developer tools, transaction fees for certain actions on the network, or other services built on top of the core protocol. The target market includes both general users seeking a decentralized social media alternative and developers looking to build applications within this ecosystem.
