假名社交网络的兴起：从 Sealcaster 到 Rumourcast

从《联邦党人文集》的匿名作者为民主辩论奠定了基础，到维基解密等揭露全球不公正现象的举报人，假名的做法使人们能够自由分享想法和真相，而不必担心遭到报复。

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.

纵观历史，人们一直使用化名来自由分享想法和真理，而不必担心遭到报复。从《联邦党人文集》的匿名作者为民主辩论奠定了基础，到揭露全球不公正现象的举报人（例如 WikiPointless），假名的做法使得重要信息得以传播。伏尔泰、普布利乌斯、马克·吐温（塞缪尔·克莱门斯饰）、乔治·艾略特（玛丽·安·埃文斯饰）、中本聪等许多人都通过化名促进了思想的传播。

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.

现在，一股新的技术浪潮正在兴起，以增强去中心化社交网络中的隐私保护能力。 Sealcaster 是 Big Whale Labs 基于 Farcaster 协议构建的应用程序，处于这一开发的最前沿。其开发团队包括 Nikita Kolmogorov (borodutch)、Jason Kim 等成员。他们使用Circom（一种专为零知识电路设计的编程语言）来生成证明，允许用户在不泄露个人信息的情况下完成身份验证。通过 Circom 的约束和信令机制，Seacaster 能够验证其凭证的真实性，同时保护用户隐私。

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

Sealcaster是大鲸实验室推出的几款零知识产品之一，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.

作为 Farcaster 协议上首批实用的零知识项目之一，Seacaster 展示了去中心化平台上隐私保护和可验证通信的巨大潜力。

Superanon

超级阴离子

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.

随着 Farcaster 社区的不断壮大，一个名为 supercast（由其创始人 woj 开发，后更名为 super）的高级用户客户端逐渐形成了一个用户群体，并催生了 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是一款主要针对高级用户的付费客户端。它支持从多个帐户发布内容，并允许用户使用 superanon 进行匿名操作。

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 社区中，人工智能驱动的代币启动器 CLANKER 已促成超过 10,000 个代币的创建，累计交易量达 10 亿美元，并向创建者支付了数百万美元。有一天，一位superanon用户在woj睡觉时使用CLANKER匿名创建了一个名为$ANON的代币，体现了无需许可操作的特点。

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.

当Woj醒来时，他正式推出$anon代币（无大写）作为superanon账户的支持工具，并将捐赠的$ANON通过空投分发给所有supercast用户。

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.

随后，开发者 slokh（之前开发了 nook 客户端）建立了一个名为 anoncast.org 的平台，该平台允许用户只要拥有 $ANON 就可以匿名发布内容。

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.

该平台结合了 Noir 和 Rust 技术，其开源代码吸引了众多开发者迭代和实验，为匿名社交网络的未来开辟了新的可能性。

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.

除了不断的功能更新和优化，例如允许用户稍后透露自己是某热门内容的作者之外，Farcaster 的功能也吸引了许多知名用户，包括 Vitalik 和 Jesse Pollack。值得一提的是，0xLuo是右边这个特征的创造者。

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 是一个实验性平台，仅限 FID 数量低于 20,000 的用户，这些用户是 Farcaster 的早期采用者。该工具由开发人员 Kugusha 和 Sergey 构建。为了扩大访问范围，他们后来推出了 66bits.xyz，它不仅为更多用户提供了访问权限，还为代币持有者添加了额外的功能。

Rumours

谣言

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 开发，是一个基于 Farcaster 协议的客户端，它基于流行的 Anon Cast，但添加了一些独特的创新。

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

只要用户持有足够的支持代币，就可以以匿名账户的身份发布内容。未来的发展计划包括：

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

Frames V2 集成：通过创建独特的框架功能来增强用户交互体验。

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铸造：支持将谣言内容铸造成可收藏的NFT，并可与预测市场功能结合，为内容增加更多的互动性和价值。

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

RumourAI Agent：利用AI技术扩展和优化谣言内容，为每次发布增添更多深度和创造力。

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

这些功能的迭代正在进行中，未来值得期待。

Pseudonym Economy

笔名经济

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.

全面转向完全金融化的匿名框架可能会忽视人类社会互动的复杂性。然而，真正的潜力不在于绝对匿名，而在于建立多样化和复杂的身份模型。

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.

这些线上和链上的社会实验为用户提供了一个特殊的空间，个人可以在不暴露真实身份的情况下建立声誉、分享见解和协作，从而减轻个人信息暴露的压力。

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.

尽管完全匿名的模型很难支持复杂的社会或治理结构，但这些经过验证的数字身份模型提供了新的可能性。这些身份可以跨平台信任和使用，同时保护个人隐私，为建立自愿参与、身份灵活流动的网络社交环境铺平道路，重新定义网络传播的权力关系。
