假名社交網路的興起：從 Sealcaster 到 Rumourcast

從《聯邦黨人文集》的匿名作者為民主辯論奠定了基礎，到維基解密等揭露全球不公正現象的舉報人，假名的做法使人們能夠自由分享想法和真相，而不必擔心遭到報復。

Throughout history, people have used pseudonyms to freely share ideas and truths without fear of retaliation. From the anonymous authors of The Federalist Papers laying the foundation for democratic debate to whistleblowers exposing global injustices such as WikiPointless, the practice of pseudonymity has enabled the spread of important information. Voltaire, Publius, Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), Satoshi Nakamoto, and many others promoted the dissemination of ideas through pseudonyms.

縱觀歷史，人們一直使用化名來自由分享想法和真理，而不必擔心遭到報復。從《聯邦黨人文集》的匿名作者為民主辯論奠定了基礎，到揭露全球不公正現象的舉報人（例如 WikiPointless），假名的做法使得重要訊息得以傳播。伏爾泰、普布利烏斯、馬克吐溫（山繆克萊門斯飾）、喬治艾略特（瑪麗安艾文斯飾）、中本聰等許多人都透過化名促進了思想的傳播。

Now, a new wave of technology is emerging to enhance privacy protection capabilities in decentralized social networks. Sealcaster, an application built on the Farcaster protocol by Big Whale Labs, is at the forefront of this development. Its development team includes Nikita Kolmogorov (borodutch), Jason Kim, and other members. They use Circom (a programming language designed for zero-knowledge circuits) to generate proofs, allowing users to complete identity verification without revealing personal information. Through Circom's constraints and signaling mechanisms, Sealcaster is able to verify the authenticity of its credentials while protecting user privacy.

現在，一股新的科技浪潮正在興起，以增強去中心化社交網路中的隱私保護能力。 Sealcaster 是 Big Whale Labs 基於 Farcaster 協議構建的應用程序，處於這一開發的最前沿。其開發團隊包括 Nikita Kolmogorov (borodutch)、Jason Kim 等成員。他們使用Circom（一種專為零知識電路設計的程式語言）來產生證明，允許使用者在不洩露個人資訊的情況下完成身份驗證。透過 Circom 的約束和訊號機制，Seacaster 能夠驗證其憑證的真實性，同時保護使用者隱私。

Sealcaster is one of several zero-knowledge products launched by Big Whale Labs, including:

Sealcaster是大鯨實驗室推出的幾款零知識產品之一，包括：

As one of the first practical zero-knowledge projects on the Farcaster protocol, Sealcaster demonstrates the great potential of privacy protection and verifiable communications on decentralized platforms.

作為 Farcaster 協議上首批實用的零知識項目之一，Seacaster 展示了去中心化平台上隱私保護和可驗證通訊的巨大潛力。

Superanon

超陰離子

As the Farcaster community continued to grow, an advanced user client called supercast (developed by its founder woj and later renamed super) gradually formed a user group and gave rise to superanon.

隨著 Farcaster 社群的不斷壯大，一個名為 supercast（由其創始人 woj 開發，後來更名為 super）的高級用戶用戶端逐漸形成了一個用戶群體，並催生了 superanon。

Supercast is a paid client that is mainly for advanced users. It supports posting content from multiple accounts and allows users to operate anonymously using superanon.

Supercast是一款主要針對高級用戶的付費用戶端。它支援從多個帳戶發佈內容，並允許用戶使用 superanon 進行匿名操作。

ANON

安能

In the Farcaster community, the AI-driven token launcher CLANKER has facilitated the creation of more than 10,000 tokens, with a cumulative transaction volume of $1 billion and millions of dollars paid to creators. One day, a superanon user used CLANKER to anonymously create a token called $ANON while woj was sleeping, reflecting the characteristics of permissionless operation.

在 Farcaster 社群中，人工智慧驅動的代幣啟動器 CLANKER 已促成超過 10,000 個代幣的創建，累計交易量達 10 億美元，並向創建者支付了數百萬美元。有一天，一位superanon用戶在woj睡覺時使用CLANKER匿名創建了一個名為$ANON的代幣，體現了無需許可操作的特徵。

When Woj woke up, he officially launched $anon Token (no capitalization) as a support tool for the superanon account and distributed the donated $ANON to all supercast users via airdrops.

當Woj醒來時，他正式推出$anon代幣（無大寫）作為superanon帳戶的支援工具，並將捐贈的$ANON透過空投分發給所有supercast用戶。

Subsequently, developer slokh (who previously developed the nook client) built a platform called anoncast.org, which allows users to post content anonymously as long as they have $ANON.

隨後，開發者 slokh（先前開發了 nook 用戶端）建立了一個名為 anoncast.org 的平台，允許用戶只要擁有 $ANON 就可以匿名發佈內容。

The platform combines Noir and Rust technologies, and its open source code has attracted many developers to iterate and experiment, opening up new possibilities for the future of anonymous social networks.

該平台結合了 Noir 和 Rust 技術，其開源程式碼吸引了許多開發者迭代和實驗，為匿名社交網路的未來開闢了新的可能性。

In addition to constant feature updates and optimizations, such as allowing users to reveal that they are the author of a popular content at a later time, Farcaster's features have also attracted many well-known users, including Vitalik and Jesse Pollack. It is worth mentioning that 0xLuo is the creator of the feature on the right.

除了不斷的功能更新和優化，例如允許用戶稍後透露自己是某熱門內容的作者之外，Farcaster 的功能也吸引了許多知名用戶，包括 Vitalik 和 Jesse Pollack。值得一提的是，0xLuo是右邊這個特徵的創造者。

33Bits

33位

33bits.xyz was an experimental platform that was limited to users with FID numbers below 20,000, which were early adopters of Farcaster. The tool was built by developers Kugusha and Sergey. To expand access, they later launched 66bits.xyz, which not only provided access to more users but also added additional features for token holders.

33bits.xyz 是一個實驗性平台，僅限 FID 數量低於 20,000 的用戶，這些用戶是 Farcaster 的早期採用者。該工具由開發人員 Kugusha 和 Sergey 建造。為了擴大存取範圍，他們後來推出了 66bits.xyz，它不僅為更多用戶提供了存取權限，還為代幣持有者添加了額外的功能。

Rumours

謠言

Developed by Disky and Leovido, rumourcast.xyz is a Farcaster protocol based client that is based on the popular Anon Cast but adds some unique innovations.

rumourcast.xyz 由 Disky 和 ​​Leovido 開發，是一個基於 Farcaster 協議的客戶端，它基於流行的 Anon Cast，但添加了一些獨特的創新。

As long as users hold enough supporting tokens, they can publish content as anonymous accounts. Future development plans include:

只要用戶持有足夠的支援代幣，就可以以匿名帳戶的身份發佈內容。未來的發展計畫包括：

Frames V2 integration: Enhance the user interaction experience by creating unique frame functions.

Frames V2 整合：透過創建獨特的框架功能來增強使用者互動體驗。

NFT Minting: Supports the casting of rumor content into collectible NFTs, and may be combined with prediction market functions to add more interactivity and value to the content.

NFT鑄造：支持將謠言內容鑄造成可收藏的NFT，並可與預測市場功能結合，為內容增加更多的互動性和價值。

RumourAI Agent: Uses AI technology to expand and optimize rumor content, adding more depth and creativity to each release.

RumourAI Agent：利用AI技術擴展和優化謠言內容，為每次發布增添更多深度和創造力。

The iteration of these functions is ongoing and the future is worth looking forward to.

這些功能的迭代正在進行中，未來值得期待。

Pseudonym Economy

筆名經濟

A wholesale shift to a completely financialized pseudonymous framework risks ignoring the complexity of human social interactions. However, the real potential lies not in absolute anonymity but in building diverse and complex identity models.

全面轉向完全金融化的匿名框架可能會忽略人類社會互動的複雜性。然而，真正的潛力不在於絕對匿名，而是建立多樣化和複雜的身份模型。

These online and on-chain social experiments provide users with a special space where individuals can build reputations, share insights, and collaborate without revealing their true identities, thereby alleviating the pressure of exposing personal information.

這些線上和鏈上的社會實驗為使用者提供了一個特殊的空間，個人可以在不暴露真實身份的情況下建立聲譽、分享見解和協作，從而減輕個人資訊暴露的壓力。

Although a completely anonymous model is difficult to support complex social or governance structures, these verified digital identity models offer new possibilities. These identities can be trusted and used across platforms while protecting personal privacy, paving the way for establishing an online social environment with voluntary participation and flexible identity flow, and redefining the power relations of online communication.

儘管完全匿名的模型很難支持複雜的社會或治理結構，但這些經過驗證的數位身分模型提供了新的可能性。這些身分可以跨平台信任和使用，同時保護個人隱私，為建立自願參與、身分靈活流動的網路社交環境鋪路，重新定義網路傳播的權力關係。
