Hey Product Hunt!
I’m Aron, Co-Founder of Meroku. I’m thrilled to introduce Farcaster Store, a haven of decentralized social apps built on the Farcaster protocol. It is a PWA App Store accessible across all devices. It brings the best apps from the Farcaster Universe directly to you without the hindrance of walled gardens or app gatekeepers.
We at Meroku are building the world’s first decentralized app store protocol . We created this store to take the internet from Web3 to WorldWideWeb3, breaking the duopoly that defines the global app ecosystem.
In fact, Farcaster Store is just the first in a series of PWA Stores we will be launching, including for exciting niches like gaming, creators and AI. Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks!
@arpit_bansal2 Absolutely! I would suggest blocking your app name on https://app.meroku.org/ and filling in it's details. Once it's done your web app is ready for distribution in our network, which has many other app stores as well. you can check those at https://stores.meroku.org/ .
Impressive move team! Farcaster Store's user-centric approach and app variety sound promising. How do you envision ensuring data security in the decentralized realm? Excited to see the niche stores roll out
Hey Aron, love the lofty ambitions of Farcaster Store! 👏 As the internet increasingly moves to a decentralized sphere, this is a major step towards that goal! One query: How are you ensuring the apps you host are free from malicious codes or threats, given the open nature? Other than that, this is really exciting! Looking forward to all the apps in the Farcaster universe. 😊🚀
@paul_gorval thank you 🙏 ! Great doubt and one of the toughest issues we'll have to solve in a decentralised app store.
1. Currently, all apps are verified and vetted.
2. As we scale, we plan to engage independent verifiers (apps can pay them directly for verification) and utilize collective reviews/ratings from the 20+ app stores in our network.
We've recently signed an agreement with an independent verifier for the same, and will be updating details on https://docs.meroku.org/
This product offers a user-friendly experience, making it easy for both beginners and experienced Web3 enthusiasts to discover and engage with decentralized social applications. It empowers users with the tools they need to control their data and experience the next generation of online social interaction. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Farcaster Store can play a pivotal role in the evolution of decentralized social apps and the broader adoption of user-centric digital experiences. Best of luck with your venture in this exciting and transformative space!
🌐 Exciting launch! The concept of decentralized social apps with data ownership is intriguing. 🚀
How do you envision the Farcaster protocol shaping the future of user-centric digital experiences, and what potential do you see for expanding the range of featured dapps?
