Open Source Data Infrastructure for Farcaster

Monad has released a comprehensive starter pack for builders on the Farcaster protocol, available through Warpcast. Farcaster, a decentralized social protocol, enables developers to build permissionless social applications where users maintain control of their data through a hybrid on-chain/off-chain system. - Starter pack accessible via [Warpcast](warpcast.com/ted/pack/Monad-) - Designed to help developers begin building on Farcaster - Features hybrid architecture for optimal performance The initiative aims to expand the ecosystem of decentralized social applications while maintaining user data sovereignty.

Monad, a Layer 1 blockchain focused on parallel EVM execution, has expanded its testnet presence to WalletMini applications. - The network promises 10,000 TPS through innovative parallel execution - Previously launched on Nabox Wallet in February - Users can explore the ecosystem at [testnet.monad.xyz](http://testnet.monad.xyz) This expansion marks another milestone in Monad's mission to enhance EVM scalability while maintaining compatibility with existing Ethereum tooling.

NOW Wallet has expanded its accessibility by launching a web-based version of their platform. This follows their successful deployment on the Linea network earlier this year. - Full wallet functionality now available through web browsers - Seamless integration with existing mobile wallet features - Enhanced accessibility for desktop users The web launch represents a significant step in NOW Wallet's cross-platform strategy, making digital asset management more convenient for users across different devices. *For optimal security, users are reminded to access the wallet only through official channels.*

FarCon NYC, the premier event for the Farcaster protocol community, opens its doors tomorrow in Brooklyn. - First-ever major gathering for Farcaster developers and users - Location: Brooklyn, New York - Focus on decentralized social applications and protocol development The event brings together builders, creators, and enthusiasts to explore the future of decentralized social networking. Attendees will have opportunities for networking, technical workshops, and collaborative discussions. *Want to participate?* Check event details at [FarCon NYC](https://farcon.xyz)

Current blockchain support includes multiple layers: **L1** - Ethereum Mainnet **L2** - Base - OP Mainnet - Arbitrum - Polygon - Gnosis - Zora - Unichain **L3** - Degen This builds on previous integrations from earlier this year which added ZETA, ZK_FAIR, SCROLL, and METIS chains.
