What is Web3 Social Relationship?
Oct 17, 2024
Understanding Web3 Social Relationships
Web3 social relationships refer to how people interact and connect within decentralized, blockchain-based platforms. Unlike traditional social networks controlled by central entities, Web3 enables direct, peer-to-peer connections with more control over personal data.
Benefits of Web3 Social Relationships
Web3 social relationships enhance privacy and ownership. Users have control over their data, can choose who to share it with, and even monetize it. This reduces reliance on centralized platforms that often exploit user information for profit.
Examples of Web3 Social Network & Platform
Farcaster: a sufficiently decentralized social network built on Ethereum. It is a public social network similar to Twitter and Reddit. Users can create profiles, post "casts" and follow others. They own their accounts and relationships with other users and are free to move between different apps.
Lens: Lens is an open social network that allows users to own their content and connections. Developers can build on the network, leveraging its audience and infrastructure. Users can seamlessly switch between social apps without losing their profiles, content, or connections.
Firefly: Firefly is a Web3 social aggregator app built by Mask Network. Imagine one app with one feed to connect with all your friends across Twitter, Lens, Farcaster, NFT communities, and the rest of Web3.
