Orb Co-founder: Farcaster Should Move Away from Reliance on a Single Long-Term Manager

Odaily News: Lens Product Lead and Orb Co-founder Kimmo Siren stated that the more critical issue for Farcaster right now is not "who takes over," but rather advancing the protocol to a stage where it no longer depends on a single long-term manager. He believes that a fully decentralized social protocol should allow any client to directly read, write, replay, and verify the complete history without having to trust a single team responsible for storage infrastructure or holding validator keys. Siren noted that as infrastructure such as Ethereum blobs and EIP-4844 matures, social data can be written in batches at low cost, re-hosted by anyone, and verified through on-chain commitments. He hopes to build replicable, verifiable on-chain social state, ensuring that even if the management team changes, the social network itself can remain sustainable.
