--- tags: CommunityUpdate --- # Farcaster: Community update February ## RFCs are mostly complete This month, the Farcaster workgroup focused its efforts on the [Farcaster RFCs](https://github.com/farcaster-project/RFCs), which compose the deliverables of our first project milestone. We are about to unlock the first milestones described in our [CCS](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/h4sh3d-atomic-swap-implementation.html) project under the *Milestone 1 (specs)* big milestone. You can now see how we structured the specifications and, although not entirely complete, you might want take a deep dive into what Farcaster is all about. If you are a tech person interested interested in this project, please give the RFCs a good read and share your feedback. You can open an issue on the RFCs repository and start discussing with us there. These are Request For Comments (RFCs), and thus comments are what they need. If you spot something missing, or find some sections of the RFCs unclear, please let us know! If you are a wallet developer, we would love to hear from you on this one: [02. User Stories](https://github.com/farcaster-project/RFCs/blob/master/02-user-stories.md). Backend people like us aren't the best at UI/UX :) If you are not a tech person, you may want to nonetheless read the first three RFCs: [00. Introduction](https://github.com/farcaster-project/RFCs/blob/master/00-introduction.md), [01. High Level Overview](https://github.com/farcaster-project/RFCs/blob/master/01-high-level-overview.md), and [02. User Stories](https://github.com/farcaster-project/RFCs/blob/master/02-user-stories.md) and give us some feedback, especially on what's proposed in [02. User Stories](https://github.com/farcaster-project/RFCs/blob/master/02-user-stories.md). It may be hard to imagine the complete UI/UX, but if you want to help on that part, you're most welcome to open an issue on the repository. ## We started implementing Farcaster Core It's hard not to code for a long time :) ...so we started! The [Farcaster Core](https://github.com/farcaster-project/farcaster-core) library is a Rust library and will contain all the features and utilities related to the Farcaster Specifications that could be reused in other projects and in the future [Farcaster Node](https://github.com/farcaster-project/farcaster-node). We'll not reinvent the wheel though: when designing the RFCs, we are taking care of reusing already established standards. As such, when we point to an external standard in the specifications, it probably means that it'll not be part of Farcaster Core because a Rust library for this purpose already exists. ## We have a logo! Big thanks for the artists of this community for your incredible ideas, creativity, and humor! We are really proud to be part of this community! We were overwhelmed by the amount of quality submissions, and had good laughs as well, but in the end, one has to choose... * Thank you so much, /u/synxero for designing the Farcaster logo! * logo 1 from https://imgur.com/2CMloDT * by https://www.reddit.com/user/synxero/ But deep in our hearts, and hidden in deeply cryptic places, you might find the vetoed wormhole ;) ## What about March? The goal for March is to finalize all the RFCs, and thus validate and unlock the complete M.1 milestones from the CCS, and shift the gear into more fun activities such as coding the Farcaster Core, which already started in parallel to the Farcaster Node. ## Project's transparency We were working on hackmd to kickoff the RFCs. Now that they are more stable, we fully migrated to github - all future updates will happen via PRs only. ### Repository We are pushing our work to: https://github.com/farcaster-project/ ### Communication channel Want to talk to us? Come meet us on freenode `#monero-swap`. We have a weekly meeting every Wednesday at 16:00 UTC where we share the work done and organize ourselves. Logs of past meetings can be found here: https://github.com/farcaster-project/Monero-Swap-IRC-Meetings For feedback on RFCs, please use GitHub issues or GitHub Discussion.
