Hypersnap

A decentralized social network — actually decentralized.

The evolution of Farcaster. Same posts, follows, and identities — but every node is run by someone different, anywhere in the world.

Protocol

Farcaster-compatible

Governance

Community-owned

Status

Live on mainnet

What is Hypersnap

A social network that belongs to the people running it.

Same kind of social experience as Farcaster — posts, follows, identities, channels. The difference is structural: instead of one company hosting the network, Hypersnap runs across many independent nodes, each operated by a different person, anywhere in the world.

Owned by everyone running it

Your account, your followers, your posts — they don't live on one company's servers. As long as people keep running nodes, the network keeps running. No one can flip a switch and turn it off.

Works with Farcaster

Hypersnap speaks the same wire format as Farcaster, so apps and identities built for Farcaster work here too. The difference is structural: the network belongs to whoever runs a piece of it, not a single company.

Built in the open, by everyone

No company, no VC, no token sale. A global community of contributors writes the code, runs the nodes, and ships the changes — every PR public, every decision visible at github.com/farcasterorg.

Live network

The network is running. You can see it for yourself.

There's a public node anyone can read from right now: https://haatz.quilibrium.com. We check it every minute. Numbers below are real.

$SNAP

$SNAP is live. Keep the numbers straight.

The token is part of the Hypersnap ecosystem rollout and retro rewards process. Live market data belongs on its own page, with corrected FDV math and source links.

Total supply

200B

Fixed $SNAP supply. Dexscreener may report supply or FDV incorrectly for the live pool.

Retro allocation

200M

Community retro rewards allocation, separate from total supply.

Phase 1 opened

33M

The first claim phase opened 33M $SNAP through Hypria.

Full explainer

Price, corrected FDV, charts, claims, and discussions.

The $SNAP page separates market data from supply data, explains the 200B / 200M / 33M numbers, and links to the public FIP discussions.

Get involved

There's a path for everyone.

You don't have to write code, run servers, or even understand all of this to be part of it. Pick the way in that fits.

Just curious

Watch the work happen in public. Every line of code, every decision, every release lives on GitHub.

Ways to help
Made by Felirami

A solo developer contribution to the new Farcaster.

Hypersnap is open protocol work. Hypersnap.org is the public portal Felirami maintains so people can understand the network, run nodes, and find the source without getting lost.

Felirami

Solo developer contributing to the new Farcaster. This site is intentionally signed, because public infrastructure should make stewardship visible.

Clear attribution, open project

Felirami maintains the website and contributes to the Farcasterorg effort. The protocol remains open source, inspectable, and open to anyone who wants to help.

Source truth

What you read here matches what's actually shipping.

The site updates itself from the open Farcasterorg repos. Repo metadata, README summaries, releases, docs links — all pulled from source so the portal stays honest.

Latest source update

May 20, 2026

A scheduled job pulls fresh data from public repositories every day, then opens a reviewable PR if anything meaningful changed.

Built lightweight

The site is a static portal generated from open source data. No persistent backend, no telemetry pipeline — what you see here is a faithful snapshot of the public code.
