The decentralized social network platform Farcaster is gearing up to launch its own cryptocurrency.
Farcaster, which has gained traction in the Web3 world, stands out by giving users full control over their data. Unlike centralized platforms like Meta and X, Farcaster gives users direct ownership of their data. Now, Farcaster is in the news with its upcoming token launch.
Last month, Farcaster announced it had raised $150 million in funding. This investment was led by Paradigm, with participation from notable investors such as a16z crypto, Haun, and USV. The company’s valuation reached $1 billion after this investment, marking the largest investment in Web3 social media to date. Following the investment, it was reported that Farcaster was preparing to launch its own token.
Farcaster, an Ethereum-based decentralized protocol, allows developers to create new social media applications using smart contracts. Users can make posts called “casts” on the platform and pay $5 annually to store their data on-chain.
Farcaster’s token launch aims to expand the platform’s user base and increase engagement. The token will enable users to take a more active role on the platform and contribute to the platform’s ecosystem through various incentive mechanisms. Investors believe that the token launch will accelerate Farcaster’s growth.
