Decentralized social media startup Farcaster is adding support for BNB Chain (formerly known as Binance Smart Chain), according to an announcement on Wednesday. The move comes amid rising interest in BNB, which has rallied in recent days to supplant XRP as the third-largest crypto asset by market cap, according to The Block's data .
Farcaster began branching out beyond the Ethereum ecosystem earlier this year when it integrated Solana. It has also expanded to the bespoke EVM Layer 1, HyperEVM, part of the largest decentralized exchange HyperLiquid's ecosystem, for cross-chain balances without bridging, according to the project .
"Near term goal is: - Every asset and every chain that matters. BSC, HyperEVM, Solana, Base, ETH L1, etc. - Instant cross-chain swaps, no bridging. - As close to zero trading fees as possible," Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero said on X.
Founded in 2020 by former Coinbase executives Romero and Varun Srinivasan, Farcaster is a decentralized protocol designed to support interoperable social applications.
In addition to supporting the Ethereum mainnet, Farcaster is also live on several Layer 2s and sidechains, including Arbitrum, Base, Gnosis, OP Mainnet, Polygon, Unichain, and Zora.
BNB Chain is a Binance-supported blockchain ecosystem powered by the BNB token that supports EVM-compatible smart contracts. The price of BNB has increased by roughly 80% in the last three months amid rising use of the network, which leads to rising BNB token burns.

In a survey soliciting opinions from primary dealers, the Treasury Department asked about plans for repurchasing long-term government bonds, ways to enhance repo efficiency, the timing of short-term bond issuance, and prospects for the economy and financing, but did not directly address the issue of reducing long-term bond supply. Some investors had expected the Treasury to use this questionnaire to more clearly signal that it is considering scaling back the size of long-term bond auctions or even stopping the issuance of 20-year bonds, in response to the Trump administration's efforts to lower financing costs. The refinancing announcement to be released by the Treasury on November 4 has become the next observation point.
