Snapchain is now live

Faster and more reliable infrastructure for Farcaster

After 8 months of work, Farcaster is now running on Snapchain.

Warpcast and Neynar are reading and writing from Snapchain. Casting across apps is now faster, more reliable and more likely to scale as Farcaster grows.

Here's a video to explaining how it works:

Snapchain unlocks many new improvements:

  1. Cheaper storage — we should be able to reduce the cost of storage by 10x today and even more over time as we make improvements.

  2. Zero cost signers — moving signers to Snapchain means users can add and remove apps for free.

  3. App based storage — Make it easier for apps to sponsor users and enable "free onboarding" for the majority of users who want to join Farcaster
