You’re Never Going to Beat Twitter by Just Copying It, Says Farcaster Co-Founder

In slingshotting to prominence last week, decentralized social media protocol Farcaster has joined the ranks of numerous growing Twitter alternatives—both on-chain and off-chain—that seek to dethrone Twitter.  What do Farcaster’s founders think of their competition? Not much. (Video by Rug Radio Creator Benjamin White.) “I don't think anything is working as a Twitter alternative,” Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero told Decrypt.  In Romero’s view, many would-be Twitter killers have failed for the...

Twitter Rival Bluesky Opens to Public Right as Farcaster Gains Steam

Decentralized Twitter rival Bluesky announced Tuesday that it has finally opened its app to the general public, after nearly a year of invite-only beta testing.  The platform, a Twitter-like social feed for sharing text and media posts with followers, is built upon a decentralized protocol that is effectively uncensorable and does not collect user data. The underlying AT Protocol also will eventually enable users to transfer their own personal data over to other servers within a federation of ne...

Apple Vision Pro Doesn't Do VR Porn—And Users Are Already Trying to Hack It

The tech world—and a smattering of the mainstream—is smitten with the Apple Vision Pro. The pricey device is pitched as “spatial computing,” creating a whole new paradigm of interacting with information and media. Just not porn. Which, arguably, is one of the first things any new technology is inevitably pointed at. Given Apple’s established prudishness, it’s unlikely there’ll be an official channel for adult entertainment approved for use with the Apple Vision Pro. But users were eager to see i...

You Can Now Use Your .Com Domain as Your Ethereum Address With GoDaddy and ENS

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domains are different from traditional Domain Name System (DNS) website domains. ENS domains can be assigned to an Ethereum wallet to ease the hassle of sending funds and assets, as they're much easlier to remember than a typical alphanumeric wallet address. But typical web browsers can’t do much with them. The two are getting closer together, though, thanks to a new alliance between ENS and GoDaddy. The web domain registrar just linked up with ENS to make it possible...

Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin Praises Farcaster, Disses Friend.Tech

Decentralized social media protocol Farcaster is crypto’s latest obsession—and unlike other blockchain-backed social networks that have come and gone, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin seems to think this one can go the distance.  In response to a Twitter post early Monday about the failures of Friend.tech, another decentralized social app that quickly lost steam after a rapid rise in attention, Buterin appeared to write that platform off as doomed due to its speculative approach.  (Video by...

What Is Farcaster and Why Is Crypto So Excited About the Twitter Alternative?

In the last two years—particularly, since Elon Musk’s divisive purchase and overhaul of Twitter in late 2022—a number of upstart decentralized social media protocols have attempted to harness the transparent, uncensorable power of blockchain networks to improve the online social experience. Farcaster is the latest such project to do so. Now, it’s making waves after releasing a key update that has attracted thousands of new users in a matter of days. Here's why Crypto Twitter is so optimistic abo...
