Farcaster Adds BNB Chain Support
On October 8, Farcaster, a decentralized social media platform, integrated BNB Chain. This update comes as BNB recently surpassed XRP to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market value.
Co-founder Dan Romero confirmed the integration on X. He said the project aims to support “every asset and every chain that matters.” He also highlighted plans for instant cross-chain swaps with near-zero trading fees. Farcaster now operates across multiple ecosystems, including Ethereum, Solana, Base, and HyperEVM, a Layer 1 blockchain by HyperLiquid DEX.
Farcaster Expands Beyond Ethereum
Farcaster was launched in 2020 by former Coinbase executives Dan Romero and Varun Srinivasan. Their goal is to create social apps that interoperate using decentralized technology. The platform already supports networks like Arbitrum, Base, Gnosis, Polygon, OP Mainnet, Unichain, and Zora.
By adding BNB Chain, Farcaster joins one of the busiest blockchain networks. Supported by Binance, BNB Chain allows developers to build apps with Ethereum-style smart contracts. Over the past three months, BNB’s price rose about 80%, driven by increased network use and token burns.
BNB’s Recent Meme Coin Surge
Blockchain data shows a “BNB meme season” has attracted over 100,000 traders in one week. These traders made roughly $516 million in profits. The hype increased after Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao mentioned a token called “4.” This sparked a wave of similar meme coins on the network.
CZ later clarified that his posts are not endorsements. He said, “Too many memes exist, and it made my writing unnatural.”
At the time of writing, BNB traded at $1,281.64 with a 24-hour volume of $7.75 billion, down 2.4% in the past day, according to CoinMarketCap.
Farcaster’s integration with BNB Chain highlights growing connectivity among social apps across different blockchains as the crypto space evolves.
