假名社交网络的兴起：从 Sealcaster 到谣言

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。纵观历史，伏尔泰，

From the anonymous authors of The Federalist Papers laying the groundwork for democratic discourse to whistleblowers exposing global injustices like WikiLeaks, the practice of pseudonymity has enabled people to freely share ideas and truths without fear of retaliation. Throughout history, Voltaire, Publius, Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), Satoshi Nakamoto, and countless others have furthered the spread of ideas through pseudonyms.

从《联邦党人文集》的匿名作者为民主话语奠定了基础，到像维基解密这样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地分享想法和真相，而不必担心遭到报复。纵观历史，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）、中本聪以及无数其他人都通过化名进一步传播了思想。

Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Proofs

零知识（ZK）证明

Zero Knowledge Proofs is a groundbreaking cryptographic technology that enables one party to prove to another party that they possess certain information without revealing the specific information itself. For instance, you could prove that you meet the age requirement to enter a venue without showing the full personal information on your ID card. This technology ensures the confirmation of key facts (such as age) while safeguarding other private data.

零知识证明是一种突破性的密码技术，使一方能够向另一方证明他们拥有某些信息，而无需透露特定信息本身。例如，您可以证明您符合进入场所的年龄要求，而无需出示身份证上的完整个人信息。该技术可确保关键事实（例如年龄）的确认，同时保护其他私人数据。

In traditional platforms, users are typically required to submit personal data, which is centrally stored in servers and vulnerable to being leaked or misused. Zero-knowledge proofs alter this paradigm, allowing users to verify credentials or asset ownership without disclosing personal information, thus greatly enhancing privacy protection capabilities.

在传统平台中，用户通常需要提交个人数据，这些数据集中存储在服务器中，很容易被泄露或滥用。零知识证明改变了这种范式，允许用户在不泄露个人信息的情况下验证凭证或资产所有权，从而大大增强隐私保护能力。

Genesis

创世纪

Sealcaster is the first zero-knowledge application built on the Farcaster protocol, developed by Big Whale Labs. 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, enabling users to complete identity verification without revealing personal information. Through Circom's constraints and signaling mechanisms, Sealcaster is able to verify the authenticity of user credentials while protecting their privacy.

Sealcaster 是第一个基于 Farcaster 协议构建的零知识应用程序，由 Big Whale Labs 开发。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，使用户能够在不泄露个人信息的情况下完成身份验证。通过 Circcom 的约束和信令机制，Seacaster 能够验证用户凭证的真实性，同时保护用户的隐私。

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

Sealcaster 是 Big Whale Labs 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 vast potential for 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 (founded by woj and later renamed super) gradually formed a user group and gave rise to superanon.

随着 Farcaster 社区的不断发展，一个名为 supercast（由 woj 创建，后来更名为 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 caters mainly to advanced users. It supports posting content from multiple accounts and enables users to operate anonymously using superanon.

Supercast 是一款主要面向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

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

在 Farcaster 社区内，人工智能驱动的代币启动器 CLANKER 已帮助创建了超过 10,000 个代币，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 睡觉时匿名创建了一个名为 $ANON 的代币，体现了该操作的无需许可的特征。

When Woj woke up, he officially launched the $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，他正式推出了$anon代币（无大写）作为superanon账户的支持工具，并将捐赠的$ANON通过空投分发给所有supercast用户。

Following this, developer slokh (who previously developed the nook client) built a platform called anoncast.org, which enables users to post content anonymously as long as they hold $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，用户只要持有 $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, the 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 是一个实验平台，仅限 FID 数量低于 20,000 的用户，即 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 builds upon 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，它建立在流行的 Anon Cast 之上，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

这些在线和链上的社会实验为用户提供了一个特殊的空间，个人可以在其中建立声誉、分享见解和协作，而无需透露自己的真实身份，从而
