FarCon Asia, Asia’s first large-scale Farcaster ecosystem offline event, will be held in Singapore on September 17
Summarized by AI
In the past few years, many development teams have been constantly exploring and trial-and-error in the field of Web3 social networking, striving to open up new paths. In this fierce competition, the decentralized social protocol Farcaster stood out and became the most eye-catching dark horse in 2024. In October 2023, Farcaster announced that it had achieved 1% permissionless use, officially opening a new era of Web3 social networking. In May 2024, Farcaster developer Merkle Manufactory successfully completed a new round of financing with a total financing amount of US$150 million. The company's valuation jumped to US$1 billion, officially joining the ranks of unicorn companies.
After ten months of development, there are already hundreds of projects in the Farcaster ecosystem, including mature clients, data analysis tools, decentralized applications (dApps), protocol frameworks (Frames), and API tools.
In May this year, FarCon2024 was successfully held in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, USA. The Farcaster team, major ecological projects, well-known developers and active high-quality users all attended the event. Decentralized ecological participants include Farcaster co-founders Dan Romero and Varun Srinivasa, Base creator and protocol director Jesse Pollak, Paragraph founder Colin, Degen founder Jacek, Moxie founder Jason, Tako Protocol co-founder TonyW, Talent Protocol co-founder Fillpe Macedo, Open Frames builder David, Story Protocol founder Jason Zhao; supporting project parties and VCs include Messari CEO Ryan Selkis, a16z partner Sriram Krishna, Paradigm's Matt Huang, 1confirmation's Mike, Multicoin Capital's Eliqian, Coinbase's Aneri, etc. Related event review: 《FarCon 2024 Los Angeles Highlights: Focus on Creator Economy》
The FarCon atmosphere on the other side of the ocean is strong, and the successful offline exchanges make us believe that decentralized social networking has a promising future. It is time for the world to join this innovation. Coinciding with the Token2049 being held in Singapore, Tako Protocol and BlockBeats sincerely invite all friends in the industry in Asia who are passionate about Web3 social networking and its future development to discuss, communicate and cooperate together to promote the way forward for decentralized social networking.

Encryption is not limited to finance. In addition to the Farcaster ecosystem builders mentioned above, FarCon Asia also sincerely invites other projects focusing on the decentralized social track to participate, explore new social models together, and release the charm of decentralization.

About Tako Protocol
The Tako protocol layer is a decentralized and scalable social network protocol that integrates data from different social platforms, such as Farcaster, Lens, Twitter, etc., to provide developers with a unified and convenient development experience, just like building Lego blocks. We call it the "social Lego" module. Flexible APIs, SDKs, and diverse application development cases enable developers to build decentralized social networks and empower the creator economy in a low-threshold and efficient manner. Tako provides permissionless access to its technology, allowing developers to build and publish their own social dApps using different modular "Lego blocks". It aggregates and unifies social graphs while providing basic functions such as SAA login, social asset publishing and trading, content distribution, content dissemination, and peer-to-peer recommendation modules.
TakoCast is a native client based on the Tako protocol and Farcaster. It was initially targeted at the Asia-Pacific market, developing local language clients based on different local needs and user experience, and localizing operations for local communities. By integrating Tako's social abstract accounts with mainstream decentralized social networks, we have achieved cross-network data sharing. This means that once users log in to any Tako client, they can seamlessly interact with users on Farcaster, Lens, and other social networks.
