Decentralized social protocol Farcaster adds support for BNB Chain

Jinse Finance reported that the decentralized social protocol Farcaster has announced its integration with BNB Chain (formerly known as a certain exchange's Smart Chain). Previously, it already supported Ethereum and multiple Layer 2s and sidechains, including Arbitrum, Base, Gnosis, OP Mainnet, Polygon, Unichain, and Zora. This move comes as BNB has surged recently, rising about 80% in three months and surpassing XRP to become the third-largest crypto asset by market capitalization. Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero stated that the short-term goal is to support all major assets and chains, enabling instant cross-chain swaps with the lowest possible transaction fees. Farcaster was founded in 2020 by former executives of a certain exchange, Romero and Varun Srinivasan, with the aim of building an interoperable decentralized social application ecosystem.
