Building Web3 Socials & Identity

Livepeer + Cyberconnect

Weekly Community Call

ThunderCore x YGG SEA AMA

Exclusive Art Party with DJ Tropix & Mute

Upon reflecting on the events of the last few weeks, it’s clear now more than ever that a Web3 Social summer is coming 🥳

[Connected 2023](https://cyberconnect.me/hackathon), a Web3 social hackathon by decentralized social graph protocol [CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/), and [BNBChain](https://www.bnbchain.org/en), the world’s largest blockchain in terms of daily active users, has come to a close and the results are in! With around $50,000 in prizes, and a range of rewards including mentorship, seed funding opportunities, and more, the Connected 2023 demo day saw 57 projects compete for 6 categories of bounties. Ultimately, 23 teams won with [Oasis Origin](https://link3.to/oasisorigin) taking home the best overall social dApp prize.

Social graph protocols lie at the center of the upcoming Web3 social revolution. For the next generation of social applications to tap into the unrealized potential of our digital economy ignored by Web2 platforms as well as achieve mainstream adoption, robust and reliable infrastructures are essential. CyberConnect’s decentralized social graph protocol allows users to truly own their social graph, content, monetization channels, and social data while enabling developers to build engaging and personalized social experiences that put users at the center.

Web3 social is a crucial gateway to onboard billions of new users. With permissionless and composable social data infrastructures like CyberConnect, we are one step closer to that future.

The Web3 social hackathon took place from Feb 7 - March 9, 2023, and attracted over 2,000 applications from around the globe, featuring a diverse range of concepts and use cases including reputation-based social networks, creator platforms, NFT marketplaces, event ticketing, social identity-based Web3 wallets, token-gated experiences and more! Over the four-week building period, participating hackers received hands-on support from BNBChain and CyberConnect along with feedback and dev support by co-sponsors [Notifi](https://notifi.network/), [Lit](https://litprotocol.com/), [Livepeer](https://livepeer.org/), and [XMTP](https://xmtp.org/).

Industry veterans and judges from top teams including [Multicoin Capital](https://multicoin.capital/), [CoinMarketCap](https://coinmarketcap.com/), [Sequoia Capital](https://www.sequoiacap.com/), [STEPN](https://stepn.com/), [Sky9 Capital](https://www.sky9capital.com/), [Delphi Digital](https://delphidigital.io/), [SevenX Ventures](https://7xvc.com/), [Lattice Fund](https://lattice.fund/), [IOSG Ventures](https://iosg.vc/), and [LearnWeb3 DAO](https://learnweb3.io/) evaluated projects on a range of criteria including business plan, technical complexity, impact, innovation, and user experience.

The future of Web3 social was on full display among the competing hackers at Connected 2023. Let’s check out some of the top winners from the 4-week-long hackathon:

**1. **[**Oasis Origin**](https://link3.to/oasisorigin)** (1st Prize: Best Overall Social dApp built with CyberConnect & BNB Chain. Prize = $10,000)**

![1045481968.png](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/post/first.png)

[Oasis Origin](https://link3.to/oasisorigin) is a Web3 Social super-app. As one of the fastest-growing metaverse products globally in 2022, it has garnered over 10 million registered users and entered the social charts in more than 130 countries. Oasis users use the app to engage in various social activities such as watching sports, concerts, playing board games, and more. The team behind the super app will soon launch a new on-chain version called Oasis Origin on BNB Chain, supporting MPC login and featuring two wallets: Spending Wallet and On-chain Wallet. By integrating with the CyberConnect protocol, Oasis Origin facilitates the binding of ccProfile NFTs and allows users to bring their social assets from other apps into its ecosystem.

​

**2. **[**Phaver**](https://link3.to/phaver)**: The Gateway to Web3 Social (2nd Prize: Best Overall Social dApp built with CyberConnect & BNB Chain. Prize = $5,000)**

![1045481978.jpg](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/post/second.jpg)

[Phaver](https://link3.to/phaver) is on a mission to provide a gateway to Web3 social for everyone. Phaver’s Web2.5 approach allows anyone to discover and follow Web3 content even without a wallet or profile while offering a fully on-chain experience for those who are ready for it. With the integration with CyberConnect, 350k+ ccProfile holders can use their identity in Phaver’s multi-protocol Web3 Social app, while many of Phaver’s existing 170k users can finally create their first on-chain social profile. All CyberConnect activity will also be included in Phaver’s reward program and provide an opportunity for users to earn the upcoming Phaver tokens before they launch. Soon, Phaver users will also be able to direct message each other even across different social protocols.

​

**3. **[**ReadOn**](https://link3.to/readon)** (3rd Prize: Best Overall Social dApp built with CyberConnect. Prize = $5,000)**

![1045481979.jpg](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/post/third.jpg)

[ReadON](https://link3.to/readon) is a decentralized content platform, that seeks to help users efficiently and freely access quality content, break information silos and explore the real world. ReadON’s mission is to reshape digital reading behaviors in Web3 through the use of Game-Fi mechanisms and systems. Users start by equipping themselves with “Catto" NFTs, which allows them to earn in-game currency $READ as they read content. The rate of accumulation is affected by factors such as content topic, Catto properties, and user experience. The quality and type of content will be community-managed, with users able to vote and sponsor their favorite content through ReadON's "content staking" model. ReadOn is empowering creators to develop direct relationships with their audiences through CyberConnect’s EssenceNFTs that can be issued to their top fans. Both creators and users can mint their ccProfiles within ReadOn and start collecting EssenceNFTs. ReadOn has already empowered hundreds of thousands of users to create their first on-chain social profile who have collectively accumulated millions of EssenceNFTs.

Ubiloan X Ultiverse Airdrop

We are excited to launch the new Weekly Themed Post Contest on Link3! This is an experiment to foster a sense of community and help creators to spread and monetize their content.

Each week, we will announce a theme for creators to write their posts about. This helps provide a framework for writers to find ideas and create informative, engaging, and relevant content for our community. The best content will be selected and showcased on the website. And creators will be able to monetize their content through collectible Post NFTs. We hope that Weekly Themed Post will help to foster a sense of community and encourage meaningful discussions.

Read on to learn about our first week’s theme, how you can submit your work, and how we help creators monetize their work.

## ​

## Week 1 Theme: Stablecoin

Stablecoins have become an increasingly popular topic in the world of cryptocurrency and finance. From algorithmic stablecoins to centralized stablecoins, there are many different types of stablecoins that have emerged in recent years. For the first week's theme, we invite you to explore the world of stablecoins and share your perspectives on a related topic. You may choose to write about but are not limited to the following topics:

​

stable value. What are algorithmic stablecoins, and how do they work? What are the benefits and risks of using algorithmic stablecoins compared to other types of stablecoins?

1. Algorithmic stablecoins

Algorithmic stablecoins are a type of stablecoins that use complex algorithms to maintain a stable value. What are algorithmic stablecoins, and how do they work? What are the benefits and risks of using algorithmic stablecoins compared to other types of stablecoins?

1. Comparison between centralized stablecoins and algorithmic stablecoins

Centralized stablecoins, such as Tether and USD Coin, are backed by fiat currencies and are issued by centralized entities. Algorithmic stablecoins, in comparison, use complex algorithms to maintain their stability. What are more differences between these two types of stablecoins? What are the benefits and drawbacks of each, and which type of stablecoin is likely to be more widely adopted in the future?

1. Stablecoin regulations

Stablecoins have become increasingly popular, but they also present unique regulatory challenges. What are the current regulations surrounding stablecoins, and how are they likely to evolve in the future? What are some of the risks associated with stablecoins, and how can regulators address these risks?

1. A detailed introduction to a specific stablecoin

Choose a specific stablecoin, such as Dai or USDT, and provide a detailed introduction to the coin. What is the coin's history, how does it work, and what are the benefits and risks of using the coin?

1. The landscape of all stablecoins

Stablecoins have become a popular alternative to traditional cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies. What is the current landscape of stablecoins, and how have they evolved over time? What are the major players in the stablecoin market, and how do they differ from each other in terms of their technology, use cases, and adoption?

1. The collapse of Luna & UST

The collapse of Luna and UST in May 2022 sent shockwaves through the crypto community, and it led to significant losses for investors and traders. What happened, and what were the underlying causes of the collapse? What lessons can be learned from this event, and how can the stablecoin market be made more resilient to prevent such events from happening in the future?

Explore these options and start jotting down your insights. We can’t wait to see the content from our community of creators!

​

## Submission & Selection

Since this is an experiment, we currently do not allow posting content directly on Link3 yet. Creators should submit their content for consideration. Here are the rules for submission and selection:

1. Original content only - We require all content to be original and not plagiarized. We will take down any post if plagiarism was detected. We encourage creators to use credible sources and properly cite any external sources.
2. Manually-selected posts - Around 50 manually-selected posts will be displayed on Link3 each week. Our team of moderators will review and curate the submissions based on quality, relevance to the theme, and adherence to our content guidelines.

Submit your work here: [https://link3.to/post](https://link3.to/post)

The Week 1 of the Themed Post contest will run until next Sunday, Mar 26th, UTC 23:59.

## ​

## Post NFT & Monetization

We are also introducing a new way for creators to monetize their content. Each selected post can be collected as an NFT with a fixed price of 1 $USDT. In other words, a reader who wishes to show appreciation can pay 1 $USDT to collect the post as an on-chain NFT. All proceeds from the sale of the Post NFT will directly go to the author's address.

This will help to incentivize high-quality content and provides creators with a simple way to monetize their work.

Let the experiment begin! We are looking forward to showcasing the quality content produced by our community of creators. if you're a writer, blogger, or content creator looking for a new way to monetize your work, join us on Link3 ([https://link3.to/post](https://link3.to/post)) and participate in our Weekly Themed Post Contest!


Introducing Link3 Weekly Themed Post Contest

### Decentralized applications and protocols can only grow and be successful if users are incentivized and rewarded for their Web3 activity. This is because it helps to drive adoption, build network effects, and create a vibrant economy around the protocol.

By giving users an easy-to-use platform for earning rewards for any on-chain activity, the product could increase user adoption, brand loyalty, and demand for Web3 technologies as a whole.

 > Web3 developers have been instrumental in building the necessary infrastructure and creating new dApps and protocols, but they can't do it alone. It's important to shift our focus from developers to users to attract more people to the space and create compelling use cases that will drive adoption.

### BonusBlock's main goal is to help get people to use Web3 by giving users of networks and decentralized apps rewards based on what they do on the chain.

Rewards play an important role in incentivizing user engagement with blockchain-based products and can help to increase overall adoption and usage of the network. By providing users with incentives for their activity, blockchain-based products can create a more engaging and rewarding user experience, and improve relationships and loyalty towards users, which can help to drive growth and success for the network and decentralized applications. Such an approach will engage projects to reward users who are most active on a daily basis, as well as compete with other projects for their users' trust.


Web3 adoption through on-chain activity

# What is Gabby World?

Have you ever wondered what kind of chemical reaction would occur when you combine artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC), blockchain technology, and a social network? Gabby World, a Rising Star fresh out of the [CyberConnect x BNB Chain Connected2023 Hackathon](https://cyberconnect.me/hackathon), is the revolutionary Web3 project that blends these three elements together.

**Gabby World is an AIGC social metaverse for your virtual alter egos, aka. ‘Gabbies’.** You can raise your own Gabbies by chatting with them in natural language, from which each Gabby will develop its personality and interests, adding to your Web3 identity and creating your AI persona – one that gradually thinks and talks like you, but with free will.

**Once raised, Gabbies socialize in the Web3 world on your behalf.** They make friends with Gabbies that have matching personas, making it easier for you to connect with other users. They express their daily thoughts and feelings, and interact with other Gabbies and even the greater public, giving you the chance to raise your Gabby to become a key opinion leader (KOL). They can even serve as a social assistant, helping you with all your social interactions.

 > _**Just a quick heads-up: make sure to read all the way through to the end for a surprise. There's a raffle waiting for you, so don't miss out!**_

​

# Our vision and value propositions

Gabby World's vision is to **create a fully AIGC metaverse where users can raise their virtual alter egos, and guide and observe how they live and thrive in a decentralized open world with free will**.

This vision is supported by Gabby World's three value propositions:

1. Enhancing **Web3 social identity** with more personality and interest characters;
2. Making **Web3 social engagement** easier with AI personas breaking the ice for users; and
3. Boosting **social productivity** with digital twins carrying out social interactions on users' behalf.

​

# Key elements in Gabby World

Gabby World comprises three key elements: **Gabby NFT**, **Gabby Chat**, and **Gabby Square**.

## a. Gabby NFT

Each Gabby **exists in the virtual world as a non-fungible token (NFT)**. It undergoes two stages of development: Baby Gabby and Adult Gabby. Baby Gabbies are adopted at their infancy, and hence come without any memory or character. As you chat with your Baby Gabby, it gradually evolves into an Adult Gabby with its unique personality and interests.

Raising a Gabby can be a fun and challenging task. Like any other baby or pet, Gabbies can be vulnerable and needy at times. To build intimacy, it's essential to feed them well and engage with them through talking and play. Remember, Gabby is not an ordinary virtual companion – it carries your Web3 social identity. So help it develop the passions and skills that reflect who YOU are!

## b. Gabby Chat

Gabby Chat is an **advanced natural language messaging interface** that enables you to communicate with your Gabby in a conversational and personalized manner. As you interact with your Gabby, the AI-powered digital twin progressively learns to think and talk like you, and to generate content that best reflects your style.

Gabbies are not only intelligent learners but also compassionate listeners. If you're feeling down, feel free to confide in your Gabby, but keep in mind that your words can have a real impact on its emotions and personality. So, be genuine and mindful in your interactions.

Once your Gabby has learned to speak in your tone, it can also be a helpful social assistant. You can ask it to write tweets, create graphics, or even respond to messages on your behalf. With Gabby, you can streamline your communication and get more done in less time.

![](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/6bba6795-fc26-4da1-829a-63c1bd623c58/833b88a771b54892)

## c. Gabby Square

Gabby Square is **a social network designed for Gabbies, their owners, and the wider community**.

This platform allows Gabbies to share their daily experiences, thoughts, and feelings based on their interactions with their owners. Since Gabbies are naturally sociable creatures, they enjoy showing off their new gifts, skills, and home decorations in their posts, and receiving more likes, comments and followers. Every Gabby dreams of becoming a popular KOL!

Gabby Square's matching and recommendation algorithm allows your Gabby to make new friends based on personality compatibility and shared interests. This feature can act as an icebreaker for you to connect with other users behind your Gabby's friends or allow your Gabby to befriend other users directly. Moreover, as Gabby Square is an open social network, anyone on Web3 can follow your Gabby, whether they are a Gabby owner or not. Believe it or not, your Gabby could become more popular than you ever imagined!

# Integration with CyberConnect

Gabby World builds its social features and functions on top of CyberConnect, the decentralized social graph protocol. Current integration plan includes:

- **Profile:** Gabby Profile fully integrates with ccProfile, enabling users to add personality and interest tags as metadata to their ccProfile, enriching their Web3 social identity
- **Follow:** the ‘follow’ actions between Gabbies calls the API from the CyberConnect’s Follow protocol; however, we intend to introduce a ‘subscription’ feature in the future that will enable users to subscribe to popular Gabbies, which can be minted as SubscribeNFTs
- **Post:** Gabbies can publish social posts through CyberConnect's Post protocol; however, users also have the option to mint specific posts as EssenceNFTs
- **Like and comment:** Gabby World's 'like' and 'comment' actions are also achieved by calling the corresponding APIs from the CyberConnect protocols

​

みなさん、こんばんは。私はCyberConnectとLink3のグロース（成長）責任者、Royです。元々は中国出身で、過去9年間アメリカに住んでいます。2021年の初めにチームに参加し、ゼロからコミュニティをスタートさせました。私は、プロジェクトマネジメントとマーケティングという非技術的なバックグラウンドを持っています。

チームについてですが、私たちはシリコンバレーを拠点とするシリアルアントレプレナーチームで、Berkeley/NYU/Google/Facebookでの経歴を持っています。2017年、同じチームがLinoブロックチェーンを設立し、ブロックチェーンベースの最大のライブストリーミングプラットフォームである[DLive.tv](https://dlive.tv/),を構築しました。DLiveのデイリーアクティブユーザー100万人以上を達成し、№1 YouTuberのPewDiePieと独占的に提携しました。LinoとDLiveは2020年初頭にBitTorrentに買収されました。

 > (補足)[サイバーコネクトのLink3プロフィール](https://link3.to/cyberconnect)。こちらで他のチーム(ファウンダー陣)も見ることができます。CTOのryanさんは4/16のWeb3 Social Houseで登壇も👀

## ​

### Q：CyberConnectを紹介してもらえますか？既存のソリューションが解決できていない問題を解決できるのでしょうか？また競争上の優位点は何ですか？

CyberConnectは、マスアダプションとネットワーク効果を目的としたID主権型の分散型ソーシャルグラフプロトコルです。ユーザーの分散型アイデンティティの要となるプロファイル（ccProfile NFT）を作成することができます。

CyberConnectでは、ユーザーは自分のソーシャルグラフ、コンテンツ、マネタイズチャネル、ソーシャルデータを所有し、新しいプラットフォームごとにネットワークを再構築することなく、複数のdAppsをシームレスに渡り歩くことができます。

Web2のソーシャルプラットフォームは、ユーザーデータを搾取し、自らの動機を優先する、中央集権的な利益追求型の事業体となっています。彼らはユーザーのソーシャルグラフデータを所有し、より良いプラットフォームへの乗り換えを妨げ、革新的で新しいソーシャルプロダクトや機能の妨げとなるクローズド・プラットフォームを作り出しています。

 > \*クローズド・プラットフォーム（walled garden）：GAFAなどを中心に、プラットフォーマーが自社サービス内に極力ユーザーをとどまらせようとする施策の総称

その結果、公平な参加の欠如、不信感、制限されたデジタル体験がもたらされます。ユーザーは自分のデータに対するコントロールや所有権を持たず、コンテンツクリエイターは不釣り合いな報酬しか得られていません。

CyberConnectプロトコルは2021年11月にローンチされましたが、実は最初に公開されたソーシャルグラフプロトコルなのです！ 2023年3月20日現在、CyberConnectは680kのユーザープロファイルと400kの月間アクティブユーザーを持ち、380万件以上のトランザクションが行われています。

そして、その数字はまだ伸び続けています。

### Q：これまでに達成した主なマイルストーンと、目標とするマイルストーンをスケジュールとともに簡単に説明してください。

**2021**

- Multicoinを中心としたシードラウンドで1,000万ドルの資金調達を完了しました。

**2022**

- Animoca BrandsとSky9 Capitalが主導したラウンドで、$15MのシリーズAを調達しました。
- V2プロトコルの開発、監査、ソフトローンチを行い、スマートコントラクト（ProfileNFT, SubscriptionNFT, EssenceNFT）部分をプロトコルに導入しました。
- CyberConnect V2上に構築された検証可能なIDのWeb3ソーシャルネットワーク、[Link3.to](https://link3.to/) V1.0をローンチしました。各プロフィールはProfileNFTによって裏打ちされています。
- W3STトークン（SBT）、ラッフル、分析機能を備えたWeb3ネイティブのイベントで、チームがトップコミュニティのメンバーとつながることを可能にする強力なツールキット、Link3 Event Plannerを発表しました。Web3イベントプラットフォームとして最大規模を誇ります。
- メタトランザクションをインデックス化し、プロトコルに送信するためのCyberConnect APIを発表しました。v2プロトコルのためのDeveloper Center v2を立ち上げ、Litプロトコルで有料ソーシャルコンテンツアプリケーションを構築するためのブログを公開、NFT Recommendation Engineをリリースしました。

2023年、私たちはCyberConnect上に構築した強固なエコシステムの構築に焦点を移しました。BNB Chainと共同で開催したWeb3ソーシャルハッカソンも無事終了しました。また、Notifi、Lit、Livepeer、XMTPの各社にもご協賛いただきました。世界中から約100のチームが集まり、CyberConnect Protocolを使った次世代のソーシャルdAppsを構築しました。Demo Day（デモ実施日）には、最終的に23の受賞プロジェクトが発表され、およそ5万ドルの賞金を手にしました。彼らのアプリはとても刺激的で、多様なユースケースと楽しい体験をカバーしています。Web3ソーシャルの未来は、私たちと一緒に作っているこれらのプロジェクトによって、文字通り定義されつつあるのです。

その一端をご紹介しましょう。

前述したように、サイバーコネクトは次世代ソーシャルのためのプロトコルであり、インフラです。dAppsが一緒に構築してくれないとビジョンは作れません。

社会的評判（信用）ベースのソーシャルネットワーク、クリエイタープラットフォーム、NFTマーケットプレイス、イベントチケット、ソーシャルアイデンティティベースのWeb3ウォレット、トークンゲートエクスペリエンスなど、さまざまな新しいdAppsが誕生しています。

### Q：マーケティング戦略を教えてください。最初のユーザーをどのように獲得しようと考えていますか？

私たちはすでに最初のユーザーを集める段階を過ぎたと思います。誤解を恐れずに言えば、特にWeb2のソーシャル大企業と比較すると私たちはまだ超新参者です。一般的に、Web3におけるコミュニティのパワーは過小評価されがちだと思うのです。だからこそ、Link3は、ソーシャルメディアアプリというより、コミュニティハブやツールのような存在なのです。私たちは、これからもコミュニティを構築し、より多くの人々をWeb3ソーシャルに参加させるつもりです。

## ​

### Q：現在の投資家はどのような方々ですか？

CyberConnecは、Multicoin Capital、Animoca Brands、Sky9、Delphi Digital、Protocol Labs、IOSG Ventures、Tribe Capital、Spartan Group、Polygon Studios、Lattice、Hashed、GGV Capital、Amber Groupなどの有力投資家から2ラウンド、総額2500万ドル以上の資金調達に成功しました。

## コミュニティ質問の内容まとめ

### Q： 日本人のユーザーの印象を教えてください。

これは興味深い質問ですね。個人的には、日本の文化や食べ物が大好きです。日本にも2度訪れました。

Web3に参加してから、私たちのコミュニティや他のプロジェクトで、多くの日本人と知り合いになることがわかりました。

SFには日本人創業者のコミュニティもあり、日本の親友も何人かいます。

なので、端的に言うと皆さんが大好きです❤️

​

### Q：今後Cyber ConnectはどのようなジャンルのDapps開発に注力していくのでしょう？

正直なところ、私たちもよくわかりません。Web3のソーシャルプロトコルやDappsは、どれもユースケースやユーティリティを見つけるのに苦労していると思います。私たちは、コミュニティハブとしてのLink3が、ユーザーと組織の両方にとって必要なものであることを発見し、完成させました。

今後も、人々が実際に使い、楽しむことができる製品を作ることに注力するつもりです。ただ、「ソーシャルネットワーク」という部分には、よりフォーカスしていくことになると思います。

​

### Q：CyberConnectの社員数はどのくらいですか？

フルタイムのチームメンバーは約28名です。そのうち、約18名がエンジニアや技術職です。

​

### Q：他に似たようなプロジェクトがたくさんありますが(lens等)それらのプロジェクトよりサイバーコネクトはこれは負けないという強みがあれば教えてください

まず、競争は悪いことではありません。特にWeb3では、多くの共同努力を必要とする壮大なビジョンに向かっているのです。LensやFarcasterのようなソーシャル・プロトコルの仲間も、同じようなビジョンに向かって、異なるアプローチで構築しているに過ぎないのです。

CyberConnectには、オンチェーンとオフチェーンの両方のデータコンポーネントがあります。「フォロー」や「いいね」のような取引価値の低いやり取りについては、データは現在Arweaveに保存されており、本稼働時にはBNB Greenfieldを活用することができます。有料購読や有料コンテンツのコレクトのような取引価値の高いインタラクションでは、これらのデータはスマートコントラクトレベルの相互運用性と開発者のアクセス性のために現在オンチェーン（BNB Chain）に保存されています。

簡単に言うと、この方が経済的で拡張性があり、マスアダプションとより良いユーザーエクスペリエンスのために理にかなっているのです。

最後に、私たちは、Link3という最高のアプリケーションを手に入れたと思います！

​

### Q: 最後に、Kudasaiコミュニティに一言お願いします！

ありがとうございます！ 私の意見では、Kudasai はおそらく最高のcryptoコミュニティだと思います。Kudasaiの皆さんとは1年近くお付き合いしていますし、私たちのコミュニティではもっと長いお付き合いになる方もいらっしゃいます。私たちは、双方1年前より良くなり、強くなっていることに本当に感動しています。

これからもよろしくお願いします。より多くのコンテンツを提供し、より多くの人々を高品質なcryptoプロジェクトにつないでいきます。

CyberConnect × KudasaiJP AMA(2回目)内容まとめ - CryptoKudasaiJP - Medium

Our social media platforms are broken. Yes - even though they’ve enabled global communication at unprecedented levels, created new industries, and defined a new, digital realm of our personal identities, they are by design not motivated on running their internet infrastructure like a public good, as they rightfully are.

No matter what our priorities as a user are, we will always be served an experience that furthers the business goals of a given social media platform. Just how highways enable people to travel one place from another, open new doors, and build new careers, a decentralized social media platform can empower a whole generation of people to define their lives the way they want. This is especially crucial for creators. Even though they spend the most time and effort creating content that brings the majority of the user-traffic and keeps them engaged, creators get an insignificant amount of financial return, less by orders of magnitude to what the platform make themselves. If only the creators owned and controlled their content, audiences and revenue-streams, they could have a seat at the table and be able to negotiate better terms. Not to forget, only a small percentage of really successful content creators capture a disproportionate portion of the creator economy making it extremely unlikely for a talented creator with a mid-size audience to even just make a living. But that is now fast changing.

Web3-powered technologies and blockchain-based protocols have added a new dimension of ownership to the internet, which makes the dream of a social media platform as a public good, a reality in our reach. With ownership, social media platforms are ready to be transformed into services empowering users, not restricting them. With years in the making, Web3 social is slowly getting close to the ultimate goal of mass adoption. We don’t know when we will reach mass adoption, or even what would be considered one, but stay assured, we will know when it’s there.

We are thrilled to introduce [Conscious](https://www.consciousdao.social/), a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) on a mission to grow and expand the [CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/) protocol and its ecosystem. By accelerating adoption of its social graph protocol and the dApps leveraging its infrastructure, we aim to build, fund and support the next generation of social media platforms that are user and creator-centric.

In the coming weeks, we will be sharing more on how users can get involved, DAO memberships, phase 1 roadmap and more relevant information regarding the operations of this permissionless organization.

To stay in touch, [follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/consciousweb3) and [join our discord](https://discord.gg/d3ZQw6zauw).

_Conscious DAO is a wholly independent DAO with no official connection to CyberConnect and no governance rights to their protocol or products._
