Social media platform Farcaster ships support for Solana addresses

The social media platform Farcaster has shipped support for Solana, incorporating the blockchain’s addresses for verifying users.

It enables Warpcast, a client of Farcaster, to link users’ Solana addresses through wallets compatible with the platform. Phantom, the most widely used wallet for Solana, confirmed this integration.

This new feature is now operational, according to Farcaster's founder Dan Romero.

Farcaster has gained traction within the crypto community, emerging as a favored platform over competitors like Lens.

Launched last year, Farcaster experienced a big boost in user activity in January, reaching record daily active users shortly after Frames were introduced. These mini-applications offer functionalities, including interactions with non-fungible and fungible tokens.

Since the beginning of January, Farcaster has allowed users to mint free NFT collections and memecoins directly on the platform. This feature has prompted a shift among crypto enthusiasts from established social networks like Twitter and Discord to Farcaster.

This Solana integration not only enables access for its users but also introduces Frames, which can interact directly with users who have signed up with a Solana wallet.
