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:

Ubiloan X Ultiverse Airdrop

Game Space successfully held its first Player One Tournament in February with over 20K+ participants, generated 200K+ Twitter engagements, and increased over 41 K+ combined Twitter user growth for gaming partners. **With the success of the first tournament, Game Space is excited to announce the debut of Player One Tournament Season 2 featuring AAA Web3 Games The Lost Land, Oath of Peak and Bless Global. **For this tournament, Game Space has gathered 15,000 USDT listed token prize pool, established strategic partnerships with over 50 partners, including KCC Chain, Quest3 a do-to-earn platform, Bybit Exchange, Link3, leading DAOs and Gaming Guilds. Tencent Cloud International as one of the main sponsors of the tournament provided up to $30,000 worth of Cloud Credits for the gaming partners and will continue to invest in each tournament in the future to support the GameFi industry.

​

Gaming has been considered one of the core narratives in Web3, with gathering more Web2 traffic, ownership of gaming assets, and verifiable data on-chain, etc. that have thrived the development of the GameFi space. Looking at the data from DappRadar, in 2022 there were over 800,000 active unique wallet addresses during peak periods, and the GameFi market size is expected to reach $38 billion in 2028, showing that it is a highly promising space in the eyes of some OG gamers, Gamefi enthusiasts, and investors.

​

Michael Cameron, CEO of Game Space said :“GameFi has always shown strong potential and great resilience despite the bias the bear market has brought. Game Space has been diving deep in the GameFi space since its establishment by providing GaaS as a service with an embedded SDK for traditional AAA Games. With our dedication, Game Space has also become a credible GameFi platform with over 60 K+ unique Web3 community, and we will continue to push boundaries to bring more Web2 gamers into Web3 and reward with the best for gamers as a return for their time and investment into the games.”

​

2022 was a difficult year for everyone with the Crypto Winter impacting many projects in the Web3 space. However, the bear market is not all bad news. It has eliminated many malicious threats actors and rug-pulls which has added more legitimacy to the space. This has pushed more excitement for the GameFi space and is also the reason behind the attraction for quality games to be a part of the Player One tournament. This time, Oath of Peak by Yeeha Games, a $50 million-funded GameFi platform, The Lost Land is the first tower defense strategy GameFi independently developed by Monster Labs, and Bless Global, the world’s first triple-A GameFi massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) by Tigon Mobile showed high interest to create a buzz in the GameFi Space and recover the enthusiasm for true gamers.

​

Moreover, according to official releases, Bless Global by Tigon Mobile, a subsidiary of Longtu Korea has launched the game using Game Space SDK. PocketBuff, a collaboration effort between Tigon Mobile and Game Space is the platform to support Bless Global’s NFT transactions in order to provide a seamless Web3 experience to game users.

​

The Player One Tournament Season 2 is a 12-day tournament with 3 days dedicated to 1 gaming partner. Game Space has also invited influential Twitch streamers Polka Starter and Thomas Pearson to play in order to increase the excitement for the competition. In the final 3 days, Game Space will provide a 500 USDT prize pool to 100 lucky participants who finish all the tasks on Quest 3: [++https://app.quest3.xyz/event/748104043896905973++](https://app.quest3.xyz/event/748104043896905973) .

​

Game Space will continue to cooperate with partners of interest and to hold Web3 gaming tournaments to attract attention to various GameFi projects and expand the base of Web3 gamers, so as to better promote the development of the entire GameFi space and the Web3 ecosystem.

​

Player One Tournament Season 2 featuring AAA Web3 Games The Lost Land, Oath of Peak and Bless Global

This article provides an in-depth analysis of Binance USD (BUSD), one of the most popular stablecoins in the market. We explore the coin's history, how it works, and the potential benefits and risks associated with using it. We also discuss its role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem and its potential impact on traditional financial systems.

As the cryptocurrency market continues to grow, stablecoins have emerged as an essential component of the digital currency ecosystem. These coins are designed to maintain a stable value relative to a particular asset or basket of assets, such as the US dollar, gold, or other cryptocurrencies. Binance USD (BUSD) is one of the most popular stablecoins in the market, backed by one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, Binance. In this article, we provide a detailed analysis of BUSD and explore its potential benefits and risks.

Binance USD was launched in September 2019 by Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. The coin is issued by Paxos Trust Company, a regulated financial institution that operates as a trust company under the New York State Department of Financial Services. BUSD is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and is fully backed by USD deposits and US Treasury bonds held by Paxos.

Binance USD works by maintaining a 1:1 peg to the US dollar. This means that for every BUSD in circulation, there is an equivalent amount of US dollars held in reserve by Paxos. BUSD is built on the Ethereum blockchain and is an ERC-20 token, which means that it is compatible with all Ethereum-based wallets and decentralized applications (dApps). Users can purchase BUSD on Binance or other cryptocurrency exchanges, and it can also be used for payments and remittances, trading, and as collateral for loans.

Binance USD offers several potential benefits for users, including:

1.  Stability: As a stablecoin, BUSD is designed to maintain a stable value relative to the US dollar, which reduces the volatility associated with other cryptocurrencies.
2.  Accessibility: BUSD is widely available on major cryptocurrency exchanges, making it easy to purchase and use.
3.  Speed and Low Transaction Costs: Transactions with BUSD are fast and low-cost compared to traditional banking systems, making it an attractive option for international payments and remittances.
4.  Decentralization: BUSD is built on the Ethereum blockchain, which is a decentralized and trustless network, providing users with greater control and transparency over their funds.

Like any investment, there are risks associated with using Binance USD. One of the main risks is the potential for the coin's value to decline due to factors such as market volatility or a lack of demand. Additionally, since Binance USD is centralized, there is always the risk of the platform being hacked or experiencing a security breach.

Another risk associated with using Binance USD is the potential for regulatory scrutiny. As stablecoins continue to grow in popularity, regulators around the world are taking notice and beginning to scrutinize them more closely. This could potentially result in increased regulations and oversight, which could impact the value and utility of Binance USD.

Additionally, there is always the risk of counterparty risk when using Binance USD. This refers to the risk that the counterparty you are transacting with may not fulfill their obligations, leaving you with losses. While Binance USD is backed by fiat reserves, there is always the potential for these reserves to be mismanaged or not properly allocated, leading to losses for users.

Finally, Binance USD may also be subject to liquidity risk. This refers to the risk that there may not be enough demand for the coin, making it difficult to sell at the desired price. While Binance USD has generally maintained a stable value and high liquidity, there is always the potential for market conditions to change.

Overall, Binance USD is a promising stablecoin that has gained popularity due to its association with the Binance platform and its strong fiat reserves. With its ease of use, low fees, and strong liquidity, Binance USD has become a popular choice for those looking to invest in cryptocurrencies while minimizing their exposure to market volatility.

However, as with any investment, there are risks associated with using Binance USD. Investors should carefully consider these risks before making a decision to invest and should keep a close eye on market conditions and regulatory developments that could impact the value and utility of the coin.

In conclusion, Binance USD is a valuable addition to the growing stablecoin market and is likely to continue gaining popularity as more investors look to minimize their exposure to market volatility. However, as with any investment, it is important to carefully consider the risks involved and to monitor market conditions and regulatory developments closely.

Introducing Link3 Weekly Themed Post Contest

_**Game Space has announced it will be upgraded into a Casual GameFi Hub to bring an extra hour of happiness for everyone in Web3!**_

2022 was the most important year for GameFi's development. The innovation from Play-to-Earn to X-to-Earn model, together with the influx of capital raising and users rushing into Web3 has forged the glory of Web3 Gaming. It's inevitable to say that when the bear market arrived, the GameFi sector also was affected on some level. Nevertheless, the Web3 gaming market continues to be one of the fastest growing segments of Web3, with an average number reaching up to 800,000 active unique wallets per day in some periods.

​

Recently, Game Space has teamed up with Spinterlands, ImmutableX and Big Time to hold one of the largest Web3 gaming tournaments – the Player One Tournament to bring up the hype of GameFi. The tournament has created mass buzz for the GameFi sector, with  200K+ Twitter engagements and more than 20K+ on chain gamers participating in the 7-day tournament. On top of that, Sky Vee, a streamer with over 1.3M+ fanbase has also joined the tournament to compete and battle for the ultimate prize pool.

​

We can see that the love and passion of loyal Web3 gamers are still active in the market, but after Axie Infinity as the representative GameFi V1.0 has faded out from the audience's eyes, the industry has become quiet and people have high expectations for AAA GameFi projects entering the scene.  Many of the top AAA Web2 games including Zynga and Ubisoft have once said to enter Web3 but still haven't taken any moves, this then leads to the question of why AAA games rarely can make it to Web3?

​

**Why do AAA games have difficulties to enter Web3?**

Michael Cameron, CEO of Game Space previously has helped with incubating one of the industry’s first AAA MMORPG Web3 game Bless Global. He states that AAA games require a very high-level of entry, usually teams with over $50 million in funding may barely squeeze into this queue. In addition, long R&D cycles and difficulties in profiting, together with the bear market, all of these are the key factors that are hindering them to make this move.

​

Cameron also once worked with his team to launch the industry’s first GameFi as a Service (GaaS) to help traditional Web2 games to enter Web3 and solve the problems of high threshold of participation and non-closed-loop transactions for early GameFi users. However, the downturn of the GameFi sector in the bear market has slowed down the entry pace for Web2 gaming companies, at the same time there are no explosive new games uprising in the industry. Under these circumstances, Game Space is turning strategies and found a great opportunity to focus on  --- Casual GameFi (GameFi Mini-Games).

​

**If AAA games can’t make it, will mini-games?**

In order to promote GameFi SDK, Game Space developed a Web3 version of the classic mini-game Merge Bird in 2022 as a prototype to show gaming developers how easy it can be to bring them rapidly on-chain within 7 days. This small move immediately brought 20K+ followers on Game Space’s Twitter and mass casual gamers started to flood on Game Space App. Afterwards, Game Space has launched Goat! Goat! (a classic match 3 and clear game) which acquired 600K+ weekly active users in the first week of its launch.

​

![](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/aa90ca7f-f5a9-cc99-1e05-304b6b5cc12e/49a202ee8d9b9611)

​

Despite being an easy to play and fun game, players can earn mystery boxes of varying rarity such as gold, silver and bronze after passing the game. The mystery boxes can be sold on the NFT Marketplace, and through opening the mystery boxes, gamers can win USDT and different levels of Merge Bird NFTs. The random incentive introduced by the mystery boxes has created high participation for gamers, data shows that Goat!Goat! has reached over 6M+ rounds, produced 2M+ mystery boxes and 1.5M Merge Bird NFTs, setting an all-time record for Casual GameFi games.

​

After these mini-games, Game Space has launched Magic Pot and MythMania, over 1M+ Merge Bird NFTs were consumed in Magic Pot. In MythMania, the blind box incentive can be amplified 10 times by paying to open a mystery box, making the whole platform consistently profitable. This case is especially rare in a bear market when the platform has not yet issued Tokens to break even and keep growing.

​

**Why Casual GameFi is growing against the odds?**

According to statistics, there are more than 4 billion users of mini-games in the global market, and the casual games market will exceed $500 million in 2022 alone. There has always been a huge strength in mini-games, with short and easy development cycles, relatively easy to design the economic models and a huge user base due to the addition of social attributes. Moreover, with 77% of the user base and over 1 billion monthly users, mini-games are often overlooked by the mainstream market, but are in fact the mainstay of gaming.

​

According to Cameron, the success of Game Space in the Casual GameFi sector is due to several reasons. First, it is easy to get started. Mini-games are easy to play, flexible and can consume some of the fragmented leisure time, which makes them able to  attract a considerable amount of user scale and engagements. This is a feature and advantage of mini-games compared to AAA games, which require complicated login and account pre-set ups. Second, its due to the choices of the mini-games, from Merge Bird to Goat! Goat! then Melon Fusion, Game Space insists on choosing to transform current or former hit mini-games into Casual GameFi games, which brings promise to the games being playable. Thirdly, the capacity must be efficient. Based on Game Space's GaaS SDK, all Casual GameFi games modifications are now completed within seven days, which is a key reason why Game Space is able to continue to hunt down market hotspots and breakthroughs.

​

A loyal Game Space player Santosh said: “Before, I would be spending 1-2 hours on Voodoo (a traditional Web2 mini-game platform), after downloading Game Space I haven’t played any other platforms games because it has all my favorite mini-games on it. Other than that, I can also win rewards daily. Mini-games are truly a great way to pass time and are friendly to everyone.”

​

**The “lego effects” of GameFi**

The combination of a series of Casual GameFi forms an effective ecosystem, similar to “the lego” effect in DeFi. Uniswap, for example, developed the underlying protocol for the AMM mechanism, which can be used in various lending platforms such as Curve, while vault projects such as YFI aggregate the proceeds of the various lending protocols. Each project has only a few or a few dozen developers, but “building these lego blocks” can form an effective overlay of multiple projects together, hence it adds up to a huge DeFi industry.

​

It is the same for Game Space, the “lego effect” is evident in Game Space Casual GameFi Hub. By launching a series of Casual GameFi games to form an ecosystem, each with a separate set of output consumption scenarios, while the USDT, game tools, NFTs and Game Points (GP) generated in the games can be interchanged and converted to form an effective overlay. For instance, the mystery boxes obtained in Goat! Goat! can be used in MythMania, the Merge Bird NFTs produced in MythMania can be used in Merge Bird and so on. The combination of multiple games not only multiplies the fun, but also creates a more robust economic model, avoiding the short life cycle of single games in the Play-to-Earn era.

​

**What’s next for Game Space?**

Game Space has announced it will be upgraded into a Casual GameFi Hub to bring an extra hour of happiness for everyone in Web3! In the first quarter of 2023, Game Space is planning to launch more than 10 hit GameFi mini-games, and expand to 20 in Q2. Game Space's Twitter followers are about to pass the 100K+ mark and expects to build up to 1M+ users within a year through the Casual GameFi strategy, building up to the explosive growth of the bull market in 2024.

​

Game Space will also launch Galaxy Project Plan to invite more small game development teams (CPs) to quickly access the platform, bringing more new ways to play and embrace the growth dividends brought by Casual GameFi. The games that join the Galaxy Project Plan still need to be professional and sophisticated, either new or classic, with a smooth gaming experience and enough mass appeal. Together with partners, Game Space will also work with its partners to explore the future of social gaming, incorporating DIDs and other Social GameFi.

​

**About Game Space**

Game Space is Web3’s first Casual GameFi Hub, focussing on bringing Web2 mini-games rapidly on chain. Through Free-to-play and Web2 entry methods on the platform, the series of Casual GameFi games will form an ecosystem that allows the game's rewards of USDT, game props, NFT and Game Points (GP) can interchange and convert to form an effective overlay. Game Space has already launched classic mini-games such as Goat! Goat!, Merge Bird, Melon Fusion and its own reward focus game MythMania. Together with partners, Game Space will explore the future of Social GameFi, including DID and other Web3 innovations to bring an extra hour of happiness every day for Web3 users.

Casual Gamefi: Game Space Is Turning Around The Web3 Mini-Game Matrix

Beyond Finance: Identity, Reputation, and Web3 - A Panel at CyberConnect 2023 New Year Summit - Recording&Transcript

個人的に今一番気になっているステーブルコイン「GHO」について、簡単な紹介をする記事です。

といっても自分は難しいことは理解できていませんので、いちファンが書いた雰囲気記事と思っていただけると幸いです。内容についてはDYOR、NFAでお願いします。

説明するまでもないと思いますが、界隈で最大のレンディングプラットフォームです。ユーザーは貸し手としてクリプトを預け入れて金利を稼いだり、預け入れた資産に応じて資金を借りたりといったことができます。

[Defillama](https://defillama.com/)のTVLランキングでは3位につけています。

![](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2F4e6A1_Yi-R-7uABfUo_2t.jpg\&w=3840\&q=90)

最近AAVEはAAVE V2からV3に移行しました。今後、異なるネットワーク上のAave V3市場間で資産をシームレスに流動させることができる「Portal」といういわゆるブリッジ機能のようなものが実装される予定のようです。

参考：

## GHOとは？

GHOは、そんなAAVEが発行する新しいステーブルコインです。ちなみにAAVEという単語はフィンランド語でゴースト、幽霊という意味で、ステーブルコインのGHOも、Ghostから取っているようですね。

こちらにGHOの公式ドキュメントがあります。

参考：

> GHOは、完全に裏付けされ、透明性が高く、Aaveプロトコルにネイティブな分散型マルチ担保型ステーブルコインである。
>
> GHO（「ゴー」と発音）は、分散型のマルチコラテラル・ステーブルコインで、当初はAaveプロトコルに供給された資産からのみミントされます。GHOの価値は、プログラム上、米ドルと一致しており、市場の効率性によって維持される予定です。
>
> イーサリアムメインネット上の分散型ステーブルコインであるGHOは、ユーザーによってミントされます。Aaveプロトコルにおけるすべての借入と同様に、GHOをミントするためには、ユーザーは担保を提供する必要があります（特定の担保比率で）。これに対応して、ユーザーが借入ポジションを返済する（または清算される）と、GHOはAaveプールに戻され、バーンされます。GHOの採掘者が支払う利息はすべて、Aave DAOのトレジャリーに直接支払われます。
>
> 真に分散化され、過剰担保を持ち、設定可能なステーブルコインに対する大きな需要が存在します。最近の出来事では、市場の変動が激しい時期に安定した価値を維持する手段として、分散型ステーブルコインのユースケースが実証されています。Aave Governanceが管理するステーブルコインであるGHOは、コミュニティのサポートにより、DeFiエコシステムの継続的な成長に不可欠な存在となる可能性を秘めています。

簡単にいうと、AAVEに預け入れた担保に対して、一定比率の分だけ借りられるステーブルコインっていう感じです（自分が触った感想です。間違ってたらすみません）。

とはいえ、昨今のステーブルコインはステーブルという名前にも関わらず不安定なことが多いですね。USDCショックもこないだありましたし、GHOと比較対象となっている、MakerDAOが発行しているステーブルコインであるDAIも、担保の大部分をUSDCが占めていることからデペグしたりしました。

AAVEもそれは重々承知しているようでして、3/18にはきちんとペグさせるためのパラメータに関するガバナンス提案を行なっています。

> 結論として、GHOは有力なステーブルコインになる可能性があり、Aaveのエコシステムにとって貴重な存在となることが期待されます。その成功を確実にするために、DAOは不確実性を考慮し、リスク軽減に注力し、成長への慎重なアプローチで仮定を検証する必要があります。GHOの安定性は非常に重要です。私たちは、安定性モジュールやミントレート調整など、ペグを強化するためのツールをいくつか確認しました。

まあそれでも、ちゃんとペグするのか？という不安はありますが、今後の動きに注目していきたいですね。

### 現在、GHOはテストネットでミントできます

現在、GHOはイーサリアムテストネットで公開されています。

担保となるトークンを預けることで、GHOをミント(借り入れ)することができます。Faucetが用意されているので、テストネットトークンは少量のガスがあれば使えます。

![](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2F2uS-JrDo7sDPMObV_3UnT.jpg\&w=3840\&q=90)

また、セーフティモジュールにAAVEをステーキングすることで、GHOを低金利で借り入れることも可能です。AAVEトークンホルダーは、AAVEをセーフティモジュールに流入させることでAaveの安全確保に貢献しながらインセンティブを得られるというもののようです。

![](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FLiSZhBfakZOqejZCsHJVS.jpg\&w=3840\&q=90)

ちなみに、テストネット期間中、以下のようなNFTをmintすることもできます。

![](https://mirror.xyz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.mirror-media.xyz%2Fpublication-images%2FMIleQ3IyQvjaUSPpPhx-Z.jpg\&w=1920\&q=90)

うーん可愛い。

詳しくはこちら。

## GHOの今後について

で、今後GHOはどのように活用されていくのか・・・についてですが、一応以下に文書があるものの、現状ではぼんやりしている印象を受けます。

> Aaveプロトコルのエコシステム、将来の製品、展開との相乗効果により、GHOはAaveプロトコルの将来のロードマップに不可欠な存在となっています。

と書いてあるので、AaveとしてもGHOをしっかり育てていく気はあるようなのでどのよううな展開になっていくのか楽しみですね。

まだメインネットでローンチもされていないので、楽しみに待ちましょう。

## GHOはLensで基軸通貨として使われる？

あと、面白そうな話として、GHOがAAVEが手掛けるソーシャルグラフプロトコルのLensの基軸通貨として使われるのでは？というのがあるそうです。もう半年くらい前の記事なので、今どういう状況なのかはわかりませんが。(尊敬する[zakk](https://twitter.com/zk_crypto)さんに教えてもらった)

(Lensは厳密にはSocialFiといえないとは思うのですが、まあ)LensをSocialFiとしてカテゴライズするとして、SocialFiで稼いだトークンって必ず売られますよね。でもその必ず売られるトークンがステーブルコインだったら・・・コンテンツクリエイターにとって、エコシステムにとって、こんなに嬉しいことはないでしょう。

この辺の絡みについても今後追っておきたいところです。SocialFiの夜明けを見たい。

## おわりに

AaveがGHOを発表したのは、2022年7月ですが、ちょうどUSTショックのすぐ後ですね。ステーブルやばくね？ってなった直後にステーブルをやるって発表したんだから、それはもう自信があったのでしょう。それからおそらくしっかり開発を進め、ようやくテストネットがローンチした2023年2月の直後にUSDCのペグが外れ、それによってDAIのペグも外れてしまいました。ロードマップに打撃を受けたりしてないかなとちょっと心配になります。

まあ、そういった苦境にある中、それでも成功するステーブルコインがあるなら見てみたい。Aaveがダメならどこがやってもダメだろ！くらいの大きなプロジェクトだと思ってるので、期待しています。

（ところで、やっぱりステーブルコイン事業って儲かるのかな）


Aaveが発行するステーブルコインGHOについて簡単にまとめてみた

**a pilot for the new Link3 loyalty program feature**

A strong community is knitted together with a shared mission and endless pieces of contributions toward that mission.

_But how, in simple words, do communities guide the members to meet the collective goals and properly recognize every each one of them over time?_

Link3 [introduced](https://mirror.xyz/cyberlab.eth/rtZ4m0Mddw1UZpRq3yQBdk1OqU6Wyvif6sAfhFVh0Ek) W3ST (Web3 Status Token, pronounced as West) last year to carry the significance of contribution in time and effort in an on-chain, verifiable and non-transferrable manner. Now we are stepping up the community feature game with a huge move so every kind of contribution can be quantified, accumulated, and immediately recognized and rewarded within the community. And first, we bring the biggest yet contribution and reward program to the CyberConnect community.

## Introducing the CyberConnect FanClub Loyalty Program

**It is live now and as a pilot first available to the CyberConnect community. Check it out, play around, and earn huge rewards now at **[**https://link3.to/cyberconnect/fanclub**](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/fanclub)

Massive rewards are raffled out **every week**, with **the first week featuring 200 Mystery Boxes (worth a total of $50,000 - $100,000) and 100,000 Mini Shards.** Read on to learn more.

 > Want a quick summary of how you can participate and win prizes?

- Mint a ccProfile and claim a FanPass on [https://link3.to/cyberconnect/fanclub](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/fanclub)
- Engage with @CyberConnectHQ Twitter on a weekly basis to earn points.
- Play around dApps built on CyberConnect and engage with the protocol on a daily basis to earn points.
- Redeem your points for raffle tickets and get on the chance of winning prizes every week!

Let’s use the CyberConnect FanClub as an example and take you through step-by-step the workings of **Contribution Activities**, **FanPoints**, and **Rewards**.

Before we get started, you should first become a member of that community to get access to the FanClub loyalty program. In our case here, mint a ccProfile at [cyberconnect.me/mint](http://cyberconnect.me/mint) if you haven’t done so. Then claim a free and unique FanPass.

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

## Contribution Activities

Contributions can take pretty much any form, be it on-chain or off-chain, as long as it is verifiable. Every community may have different goals and value systems that determine what actions should be recognized and for how much. Naturally so, the contribution activities at FanClubs can always be customized by community admins.

In the case of CyberConnect, we have the following categories of contributions: Social Twitter Engagements, CyberConnect Protocol Engagements, Referral, and Previous Contribution.

### Twitter Engagements

- You will need to connect and verify your Twitter account before proceeding.
- Engage with Tweets by @CyberConnectHQ within that week or create content and mention @CyberConnectHQ. Come back to check and claim the points.

Find more details and start earning now by heading to [https://link3.to/cyberconnect/fanclub](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/fanclub)

### CyberConnect Protocol Engagements

CyberConnect is a decentralized social graph protocol. Different dApps, Link3 being only one of them, build on top of the protocol and leverage different protocol components. Social data and identity on CyberConnect protocol are shared across dApps in the ecosystem so no matter where you are, all the engagements with the CyberConnect protocol will stay with your ccProfile identity and contribute back to the protocol.

Go explore different apps built on top of CyberConnect and experience all the fun Web3 native social features. Play and earn points through the following contribution activities:

- Collect an EssenceNFT
- Create a post
- Like a post
- Comment
- Follow a profile

Currently, you can complete some of these engagements on [Link3](https://www.notion.so/Discord-check-Link3-to-6e70108cc52f4109a10347797bdc6aed), with more dApps building on top of the CyberConnect protocol coming up after the Connected 2023 hackathon ends.

### Referral

Every FanClub member has a unique referral link that can be used by new members to join. For each successful referral, both the referrer and the referee will receive extra FanPoints as rewards! Additionally, the referrer will get 10% of the referee’s earnings in the FanClub. Please note that the referral rules are subject to change for anti-bot purposes.

### Previous Contributions

There is also an additional category of special contributions:

- Historical Engagements: one-off points to claim based on your previous verifiable contributions such as the amount of W3STs claimed in the past and Twitter engagements in the last 30 days.

## FanPoints

For every completed contribution, you will be assigned FanPoints(FP) to claim. Connect your wallet on the FanClub page and check on each contribution for the eligible points.

### **Levels and Total FanPoints**

Points claimed will accumulate on your FanPass as Total FanPoints and you will move up the levels accordingly.

Level testifies to your total standing in terms of contribution to the community over time. This is one of the most key info that communities distinguish actual core long-term contributors from mere window shoppers. Expect this to have significance down the line.

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

### **Caps**

FanPoints vary by contribution. And for those contributions that are not one-off, there might be daily or weekly caps to the total points claimable from that activity.

- Contributions with daily caps.
- Currently, points for every CyberConnect Protocol Engagements contribution are capped for every day. It refreshes at 0:00 UTC every day.
- Contributions with weekly caps.
- Currently, points for every Social Twitter Engagements contribution are capped for every week. It refreshes at 0:00 UTC on every Sunday.

## Rewards

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

Incentives and rewards are essential for keeping a large community thriving towards the shared vision. Valuable contributions should be duly recognized and rewarded in a timely manner.

Besides long-term recognition and future rewards according to Levels and Total FanPoints, CyberConnect FanClub has weekly grand raffles. Raffle tickets to each weekly raffle can be redeemed with FanPoints at a cost of 500 FPs and the quantity you purchase is not limited.

Currently, there are two kinds of prizes to be won:

- **Mystery Boxes:**
- currently the most prestigious perks in the CyberConnect/Link3 ecosystem. Limited in total supply and currently traded on OpenSea, Mystery Boxes can be opened for Shards and other perks. Learn more about Mystery Boxes and Unboxing [here](https://mirror.xyz/cyberlab.eth/13Sg5ebuZOaGAdpmrVbR1qfebwDz_x2o49hfo6gmGkc).
- **Mini Shards:**
- Just like the Shards from opening Mystery Boxes, each Mini Shard has a T-value of 1. You can hold multiple Shards and these values add up. Shards utility will be announced later this year. Learn more about Shards [here](https://mirror.xyz/cyberlab.eth/13Sg5ebuZOaGAdpmrVbR1qfebwDz_x2o49hfo6gmGkc).

CyberConnect is kicking off the FanClub loyalty program with **a huge prize pool for the first week of the launch. 200 Mystery Boxes (worth a total of $50,000 - $100,000) and 100,000 Mini Shards** will be raffled out on **Mar 16th, Thursday**.

Join and start earning points now [https://link3.to/cyberconnect/fanclub](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/fanclub)

Stay tuned and check back regularly to learn about future raffles. Rumor has it, Web3 social summer is coming and we are all just growing bigger and stronger.

The CyberConnect FanClub loyalty program is just a pilot case before we roll out the feature to more top communities on Link3.

Together with W3STs that are unique to the occasion and specific to the roles, FanClub's customizable toolkit and the quantifiable FanPoint system will bring community building and contribution recognition to a new level.

Stronger connections between communities and members will be the cornerstones of a thriving world that is not just decentralized and individual-sovereign but also filled with a sense of belonging and purpose. Link3 and CyberConnect are here to empower that.

Who made this game? Any BACKERS? Nah those are lame questions. Let me tell you this: the team here got rappers super hot fire, DeFi chads shitting on FDVs, game nerds from the Nintendo GameBoy era, ape lords JPEG degens. Hold my beer, degen power incoming XD.

1. BlockchainMake it fully on-chain. More on-chain ballots, airdrops, sorting, etc. More Chainlink automation, VRFs, and other functions; Native multi-chain deployment, in that way whales from Ethereum and 巨大的泵s from BNB Chain will compete head to head on the same leaderboard;
2. GameDegenReborn AVG is the first game mode for the DegenReborn series. It serves as a casual mode and introduces DegenReborn to the fam for the first time. Next up, the Significant game mode will be a TCG game using CT celebs; Yes, we all TCGers who pissed off all childhood pocket money on MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokémon cards. Then we pissed off all adulthood leisure time on the Ironclad A20 Heartrun 10 streak;
3. NFTAll future game modes will use $REBORN as in-game tokens, and current NFT collections as in-game heroes and items; Artifacts generated from the current gameplay - Hall of Famer, tombstones, tributes - will be the bootstrapping data for future game modes.

# 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

AIGC x Web3: How Gabby World Revolutionizes Our Social Network

TypeError

2023/3/22に行われた、CyberConnectとのAMA(Ask Me Anything)についてまとめた記事です。

1回目のAMAは[こちら](https://medium.com/cryptokudasaijp/ama-cyberconnect-d9a3ace3ffd5)

## CyberConnectについて

[CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/)は、大量導入とネットワーク効果のためのアイデンティティ主権による、最初の分散型ソーシャルグラフ・プロトコルです。

BNBチェーン上に構築されたサイバーコネクトは、ユーザーがソーシャルネットワークにおける自分のソーシャルアイデンティティ、コンテンツ、コネクションをほ本当の意味で「所有する」ことを可能にし、開発者向けにコンポーザブルソーシャルデータレイヤーとユニバーサルWeb3ユーザーアカウントシステムを提供しています。

CyberConnectは、2021年にWeb3信者とシリアルアントレプレナーのカップルによって設立されました。以前、2018年に私たちのチームはLinoブロックチェーンを設立し、最大のブロックチェーンベースのライブストリーミングプラットフォームである[DLive.tv](http://dlive.tv/)を構築しました。サイバーコネクトチームは、ブロックチェーンアプリケーションが大規模な採用を達成するための才能とスキルを備えています。2021年に公開したミッションステートメントブログをチェックする

## AMA本編の内容まとめ

AMA本編の内容について、Q\&A方式で記載していきます。

​

### Q: 自己紹介を兼ねて、あなたの経歴やCyberConnectのチームについて教えていただけますか？

![](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/0ce75a38-9158-b004-bc09-9c23454a708d/2c00440d6baf0518)

​

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。

 > \*マスアダプション：大規模な普及。一般の多くのユーザーに受け入れられ、利用されること

 > \*ネットワーク効果：製品やサービスの利用者が増えるほど、その製品やサービスのインフラとしての価値が高まること

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。

 > (補足)ハッカソンのまとめ記事

## ​

### 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。

![](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/0ce75a38-9158-b004-bc09-9c23454a708d/0f20a9672d4e03d6)

​

ところで、こちらがLink3のページです。

[link3.to/cyberconnect](https://link3.to/cyberconnect)

## ​

## 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

As technology continues to evolve, the marketing landscape for startups has undergone a significant transformation. The emergence of Web3 marketing platforms has provided new tools and capabilities for startups looking to drive growth and engagement. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of Web3 marketing platforms for growing startups. We will also discuss how they can leverage these platforms to gain a competitive edge.

## Revolutionize Startup Marketing

With the [worldwide Web3 market](https://www.banklesstimes.com/web3-statistics/) predicted to be worth $8.5 billion by 2030, Web3 marketing platforms are changing the game by disrupting the traditional Web2 marketing landscape. Unlike centralized Web2 platforms owned by large corporations, [Web3](https://link.continuum.xyz/platform?type=courses?id=5808) platforms are decentralized and operate on blockchain technology. These features give startups increased privacy, security, and control over their data.

By operating on a decentralized network, startups are not limited by the constraints of a centralized platform. Instead, they have more control over their data and can ensure it cannot be manipulated or tampered with by third parties. 

Additionally, Web3 marketing platforms offer startups the ability to use smart contracts, which can reduce costs and increase efficiency by automating their advertising efforts. Furthermore, these platforms allow [integrating with CRM software](https://crm.financesonline.com/) using smart contracts. This enables startups to automate their marketing campaigns and streamline customer interactions by creating self-executing contracts that trigger specific actions based on customer behavior. Integrating with CRM software also allows startups to analyze customer data and create targeted marketing campaigns that speak directly to their audience.

## Leverage the Power of Decentralization

Web3 marketing platforms offer startups a range of benefits through decentralization. By operating on a decentralized network, startups gain increased autonomy and flexibility in their marketing strategies. They can bypass traditional intermediaries, connect directly with their target audience, and tailor their messaging to specific customer segments. This web3 marketing strategy also reduces costs and increases efficiency by eliminating intermediaries.

Decentralization also allows startups to maintain ownership of their data, which is not true with traditional Web2 marketing platforms. This setup gives startups higher privacy and security, allowing them to leverage their data effectively. Additionally, the transparency and accountability offered by Web3 marketing platforms enable startups to build trust and credibility with customers.

To fully leverage the power of decentralization, startups need to build an effective Web3 marketing stack. This includes utilizing tools such as Asana, Trello, and Slack to manage projects, track progress, and communicate with team members. However, there are also [alternatives to Asana](https://financesonline.com/top-10-alternatives-asana-popular-project-management-systems/), such as Monday.com and Basecamp. You can use these to manage tasks and projects on a decentralized network. By integrating these tools into their Web3 advertising strategy, startups can streamline their operations and increase collaboration and productivity among team members.

## Unlock Affordable Advertising

One of the key benefits of Web3 marketing platforms is reduced advertising costs. With traditional Web2 marketing platforms, advertising costs can be prohibitively high, making it difficult for startups to compete with more prominent, established brands. In contrast, you can implement web3 marketing campaigns using more affordable advertising options, such as social media, influencer, and content marketing. This can help startups stretch their marketing budget further and reach a wider audience.

From the many web3 marketing examples, the Brave browser is a notable use case for reduced advertising costs. Brave is a privacy-focused browser that utilizes blockchain technology to reward users with its native token, Basic Attention Token (BAT), for opting into privacy-respecting advertisements. 

Brave then shares ad revenue with users, content creators, and publishers. This model allows startups to advertise to a highly engaged and privacy-conscious audience, benefiting users and content creators.

## Elevate Customer Experience

Web3 marketing platforms also offer increased user engagement. By leveraging the latest technologies like blockchain, startups can create more interactive and immersive customer experience. For example, some Web3 marketing platforms allow customers to earn rewards for participating in marketing campaigns, such as completing surveys or sharing content on social media. This can help increase engagement and drive growth for startups.

Mobox is an example of a blockchain gaming platform that leverages Web3 marketing to offer incentives to engage with the platform, driving growth and loyalty. By incorporating these Web3 technologies, Mobox has created a fun and interactive experience for its users, which has helped drive growth and loyalty.

Because of the need for [startups to focus on user education](https://continuum.xyz/blog/startup-founders-need-to-focus-on-user-education-in-2023), consider enrolling in various learning programs such as a [web3 marketing course](https://link.continuum.xyz/platform?type=courses?id=8573). You can learn the ins and outs of blockchain technology and how to use it to create engaging and effective marketing campaigns.

Continuum work with brands to create reward-generating courses to engage and acquire new customers, build brand loyalty and increase sales. You can click [here](https://docsend.com/view/nkp9b9wm2vryjky3) to find out more.

## Help Craft Targeted Campaigns for Better Conversion Rates

Web3 marketing platforms allow startups to create targeted campaigns that speak directly to their audience. With the ability to collect and analyze customer data, startups can create personalized marketing campaigns that address specific pain points and preferences. By tailoring their messaging to their audience, startups can increase conversion rates and drive growth.

Unstoppable Domains uses blockchain to offer decentralized domain names. This allows individuals and businesses to own their domains without a central authority like ICANN. Unstoppable Domains uses customer data to create targeted marketing campaigns that speak directly to its audience, such as offering promotions and discounts on domain purchases.

## Web3 Marketing is Vital for Startup Success in Today’s Digital Age

In today’s digital age, Web3 advertising is becoming essential for startups looking to drive growth and success. By leveraging the advantages of these platforms, startups can reach a wider audience, build trust, and increase engagement. This can help them establish a strong foundation for long-term success.

As the marketing landscape evolves, startups must adapt to stay competitive. By embracing Web3 marketing, startups can establish a strong foundation for long-term growth and success.

## Empowering startups to expand their user base.

Continuum is a [Web3 rewards platform](https://docsend.com/view/nkp9b9wm2vryjky3) that connects brands and consumers through education. We use education to helps startups acquire new customers and grow their businesses.

Continuum provides a [variety of resources](https://continuum.xyz/blog) and tools to help startups educate their users. Book a call with our [sales team](https://web.telegram.org/k/#@brianwongjh) today to learn more about our web3 rewards platform.


5 benefits of web3 marketing platforms to growing startups

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.

![](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/aa10cbb2-78e1-4cbf-a385-087e27320583/840293039f0e82c2)

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._


ConsciousDAO: Bringing Web3 Social to the Masses

The next generation of the internet (dubbed “Web3”) is being built on blockchain technology. This internet will be interoperable and composable, allowing internet users to use the same social profiles across different online platforms and making it easier than ever for new tech to be built on top of old tech. This has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with digital systems, communicate on the internet, and manage online communities. At the forefront of this evolution lies [CyberConnect](https://link3.to/cyberconnect), a decentralized social graph protocol providing users with identity sovereignty to better leverage their network effects.

With this in mind, [Gamic](https://gamic.app/) is excited to announce a strategic partnership with the CyberConnect team. We are joining the company’s impressive ecosystem of blockchain projects and integrating CyberConnect’s technology into our platform to improve our user experience. As an ecosystem partner, we are excited to use CyberConnect’s technology to tokenize our user-profiles and the communities that live on Gamic. This will give users more agency over their online footprint and make their Gamic presence an asset they can use across other social apps. With CyberConnect, we can more efficiently onboard the next generation of internet users to Web3 so they can begin taking advantage of its products and services.

 > Cyberconnect social graph helped us solve an architectural debate we had internally for Gamic DID. Our expectations for reliability, predictability & consistency pales in comparison to the robustness of the protocol. We could not ask for a better partner for the millions of GG’s worldwide

### **Same Mission, Same Ethos**

The world of social networking is evolving with the dawn of Web3, a new era where users have greater control over their data and privacy. However, this newfound freedom can come with its own set of challenges, particularly for novice users.

Today, the user experience is poor for online communities trying to engage with Web3 products and services. Right now, users have to jump across different platforms (whether they be dApps, exchanges, crypto wallets, or community management tools) to get the most out of blockchain technology.

Solving this problem is central to the ethos of our two companies. With CyberConnect, users own their social graph, content, monetization channels, and social data; With Gamic, users can access all the blockchain tools they need on a single, simple interface. Put together, our two projects can allow social internet users to navigate Web3 without needing to use multiple platforms. Then when users do move off Gamic, they will then have the ability to seamlessly recreate their social networks on other online applications.

This is especially valuable for individuals living in developing countries. In such regions Web3 access represents financial freedom and opportunity — Where the functionality of national banking systems might end at the border, analogous crypto products move freely around the globe; Where national unemployment might be high, Web3 careers are internationally accessible. In the end, we need a better social system.

That's where Gamic really wants to step in. Our innovative platform makes it easier and faster for users to access the benefits of blockchain technology, promoting adoption and improving socioeconomic opportunities globally. With Gamic, users can socialize with peers and easily access a range of Web3 tools and services, all in one user-friendly platform. Say goodbye to the fragmented Web3 space and hello to a more accessible and seamless experience for everyone with the revolutionary Gamic app. The newly launched app is available on Android and iOS, making it easier for Web2 users to transition to Web3.

### **About Gamic**

Currently home to nearly 2000 unique communities ranging from 1 to 40,000+ members strong, [Gamic](https://gamic.app/) is a decentralized social platform for communities looking to engage with Web3 products and services. Our platform combines the advantages of blockchain technology with a conventional web2 community interface, creating a seamless environment where users can interact and enjoy the benefits of web3 advancements. With messaging, file sharing, crypto transactions/swapping, and soon-to-be-launched NFT capabilities, Gamic consolidates all the features needed to access the best of Web3. In a world where online privacy and security are more important than ever, Gamic eliminates censorship and ensures that users' privacy is safe through end-to-end encryption. With open, private, and dark options, Gamic is perfect for niche Web3 communities that prioritize these features.

​

### **About CyberConnect**

[CyberConnect](https://link3.to/cyberconnect) is leading the charge toward returning the ownership and control of social data back to internet users. By building infrastructure that respects user privacy, Web3 social networks and Metaverse projects can thrive and scale like never before. CyberConnect’s main focus is to provide a Social Graph Module for Web3 applications, allowing any Web3 application with a follow function to integrate with them so they no longer have to worry about maintaining their own social graph database. Their vision is to become the social graph infrastructure for all Web3 applications. Built with IPFS and Ceramic, their social graph datastore provides a universal data layer for DApps to integrate social elements for their users. By using CyberConnect, the ownership of social graphs will be returned to users, giving them full control over their data on Web3.

Now we have made a crucial step towards solving the communication problems in Web3. By integrating XMTP into CyberConnect, we enable secure & private peer-to-peer messaging across nodes in a decentralized social graph.

​

In the current state of Web3, communication between identities is extremely difficult. A stark example of this was when Solend (Solana-based lending platform) attempted to communicate with a whale whose imminent liquidation risked crashing the entire protocol, and

 > ... attempted to communicate with the wallet owner numerous times over the past few days. The DeFi platform put a message on Twitter as well as sent an on-chain transaction with a memo ([source](https://cryptoslate.com/solend-pays-users-to-vote-on-proposal-to-liquidate-whale-wallet-otc-and-avoid-bad-debt/))

​

There are two components required to build this kind of service in Web3. The first is a widely adopted DID system for discovering & resolving identities. The second is a secure & private way to message between those identities.

While CyberConnect offers a decentralized social graph protocol that includes a DID system (built around the ERC-721 compliant ccProfile), it currently lacks a peer-to-peer communication system. Likewise, XMTP offers a decentralized messaging protocol for secure & private peer-to-peer messaging between Web3 identities, yet it lacks a widely adopted DID system. This is where the integration of CyberConnect & XMTP comes in.

​

One of the key benefits of XMTP is its extensible design, which enables a diverse set of use cases for sending message data between Web3 identities. XMTP also provides a high degree of security and privacy by using encryption and authentication mechanisms to protect message data from unauthorized access.

Integrating XMTP with CyberConnect has several benefits. Firstly, it enables secure, peer-to-peer messaging over a decentralized network of nodes. This means that messages are not stored on a central server, and there is no need for a third party to handle messages. Secondly, it ensures that messages are delivered securely to the intended recipient, as the ccProfile handle is used to resolve EVM addresses to identities. Finally, it ensures that messages are tamper-proof, as XMTP uses encryption to ensure that messages are only readable by the intended recipient.

Putting the two together, and modifying the CyberConnect protocol to include XMTP private messaging, we can ensure that messages are securely delivered to the intended recipient, without any third-party involvement.

Enabling secure & private peer-to-peer messaging across nodes in a decentralized social graph is a crucial step towards solving the communication problems in Web3.

### **About XMTP**

_XMTP (Extensible Message Transport Protocol) is an open protocol and network for secure, private messaging & notifications between EVM accounts. With the XMTP SDK, developers can enhance their applications with a universal inbox for direct messages, notifications, and announcements, or build new tools for dApps, DAOs, creators, and protocols to re-engage users via Web3 messaging._

### **About CyberConnect**

[_CyberConnect_](https://cc.me/)_ is a decentralized social graph protocol with identity sovereignty for mass adoption and network effects. It enables users to create profiles as the anchor of users’ decentralized identities. With CyberConnect, users own their social graph, content, monetization channels, and social data allowing them to travel across several dApps seamlessly without having to recreate their network on every new platform.CyberConnect protocol was launched in November 2021, as the first social graph protocol published. As of Mar 13th, 2023, CyberConnect has _[_350k_](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberconnect-link3-metrics)_ user profiles and _[_290k_](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberconnect-link3-metrics)_ monthly active users who have done more than _[_2.8M_](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberconnect-link3-metrics)_ transactions._

Enable Private Messaging between ccProfiles - built with CyberConnect and XMTP

We are thrilled to see the tremendous interest in our FanClub feature and would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for your support. Your feedback has been invaluable in helping us improve the FanClub experience, and we are excited to announce some significant changes that we believe will make it even better.

We understand that there have been some issues with the FanClub since its launch, including concerns about the referral system and miscalculated fan points. We want to assure you that we have been working tirelessly to address these issues and are committed to making the FanClub as fair and rewarding as possible for all users.

### Referral Is Back, with New Rules

One of the key changes we will be making is to the referral system. We understand that some users have expressed concerns about creators receiving too many fan points through referrals, making it difficult for regular users to compete. To promote a healthier referral system and prevent bots, we have decided to change the referral bonus from 200 Fan points to 20 Fan points. While still keeping the 10% earnings from referrals the same, only Twitter engagement and CyberConnect Protocol engagement will count for the 10% referral bonus.

More prerequisites for claiming FanPass may be added in the future for anti-bot purposes.

### More Rewards for Previous Contribution

In addition, we want to well recognize the previous contributions of our loyal users. Therefore, the following changes have been made:

1. More FanPoints for total W3ST claimed
2. [Connected 2023 Hackathon](https://cyberconnect.me/hackathon) Upvote badge will count for rewards.
3. [ccProfile Early Adopter](https://link3.to/e/7jRiS7) W3ST will count for rewards.

Please note that all FanPoints (except for Twitter engagement & CyberConnect Protocol engagement) and raffle tickets will be cleared as a result of these updates. Users will need to claim their FanPoints and purchase tickets again. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we believe that these updates will make for a more fair and rewarding FanClub experience.

Please be aware that we will need to have a short period of downtime for maintenance to implement these updates. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we are confident that the improvements will be worth the wait.

Once again, we want to express our gratitude for your support and enthusiasm. We look forward to continuing to provide you with the best possible user experience on Link3.

Reach out to us [here](https://forms.gle/44tHBLGUL31ZvTHC9).\n\n\n---\n\n## Vote to Win One of 200 Mystery Boxes\n\nWeb3 social is built for users. Now it's time for every user to participate and define the future of social!\n\nWe have prepared 200 Link3 Mystery Boxes, worth a total of [$50,000 - $100,000](https://opensea.io/collection/link3-mystery-box), to reward those who vote for the **winning projects**.\n\n**Winning projects** are projects who win at least one bounty from the hackathon and the results will be announced on March 13 our demo day. There are 23 bounties in total and at least 13 winning projects. For more details on bounties, please see our [Hackathon Guidelines](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xiDgJVSrAi6cK-FzdW9TXqsCEzmCqv6p/view?usp=sharing).\n\nNote that the number of votes received by projects is only one factor to be considered for judges' evaluation, in addition to other criteria such as Functionality, Novelty, Impact, and Business Plan. So the leaderboard ranking is not the hackathon result.\n\n\n---\n\n## How the raffle works\n\n* Every ccProfile holder can vote once per day.\n\n* Voting will end on March 12 at 11:59 PM UTC\n\n* Each vote is a W3ST (Web3 Status Token, pronounced as West) and can be showcased on your [Link3](https://link3.to) profile!\n\n* One vote for a **winning project** counts as one entry into the raffle.\n\n* On March 13, hackathon prizes will be announced and projects winning at least one bounty are **winning projects**.\n\n* Each address can only win one Mystery Box. If one of your votes wins a mystery box, all your other votes will stand null and void.\n\n* You only need to share the poster on Twitter and save the link once.\n\n**Only votes for winning projects will enter the raffle. The raffle will take place over two rounds:**\n\n### Raffle Round #1\n\n* All winning projects will each be allocated 5 Mystery Boxes for mini raffles.\n\n* For every winning project, votes cast for that project will enter a mini raffle for a chance to win the 5 Mystery Boxes allocated.\n\n* There will be at most 23 winning teams from the 23 prizes. So there will be at most 115 Mystery Boxes will be up for grabs in this first round of the raffle.\n\n### Raffle Round #2\n\n* All the votes that did not win in the first round, will be entered into a second and final round of the raffle.\n\n* There will be at least 85 remaining Mystery Boxes up for grabs by lucky winners.\n\n\n---\n\n### The rules in one sentence:\n\n> ***Vote every day and DYOR to vote for projects with fewer votes but high winning chances.***\n\n\n---\n\n**Here's an example for those who want to get to the bottom of things:**\n\n* Alice votes 15 times on **Project A** and 5 times on **Project B**. Bob votes 20 times on **Project C.**\n\n* When results are announced on 3/13, **Project A**, **C**, and another 15 projects each win at least one bounty while **Project B** doesn't win anything. **Project A** has 500 votes in total, **Project B** has 1,000 votes, **Project C** has 10,000 votes, and the other 15 winning projects have 20,000 votes in total.\n  So there are 17 winning projects (no **Project B**) and 30,500 (500 + 10,000 + 20,000) votes entering the raffle.\n\n* Raffle Round #1 will distribute 85 (17 x 5) Mystery Boxes and Raffle Round #2 will distribute 115 (200-85) Mystery Boxes\n\n* In Raffle Round #1, 500 votes for **Project A** will enter the raffle to win 5 Mystery Boxes allocated for **Project A** and 10,000 votes for **Project C** will enter the raffle to win 5 Mystery Boxes allocated for **Project C**. The other 15 winning projects each will have a mini raffle for 5 Mystery Boxes.\n  In Raffle Round #1, Alice will have 15 votes out of 500 votes to win one of the 5 Mystery Boxes and Bob will have 20 votes out of 10,000 votes to win one of 5 Mystery Boxes.\n\n* If Alice wins a Mystery Box from Raffle Round #1, she will not enter Raffle Round #2.\n\n* If Bob doesn't win a Mystery Box from Raffle Round #1, his 20 votes will enter Raffle Round #2 for a chance to win one of 115 Mystery Boxes. For Raffle Round #2, in total there will be 30,500 votes minus votes by those who win a Mystery Box in Raffle Round #1.\n\n\n---\n\n## Detailed 3 steps to vote and join the raffle\n\nHead to [cyberconnect.me/hackathon](http://cyberconnect.me/hackathon) and follow three steps:\n\n* **Mint your ccProfile**\n\n  Minting is FREE during the hackathon.

Introducing the Project Leaderboard at Connected 2023

The social media experience has remained essentially unchanged for the past decade. For users and creators, there is little or no incentive to continue producing more content or expand their networks. They know that, ultimately, the platform owns their identity, content, and social graph - all of which can be taken away from them at any time. The cost of switching to another platform and recreating their network or audience is also high because their social data lives behind walled gardens. This walled garden is guarded carefully to prevent platform competitors from building a better service, preventing innovation in this space. Web3 and its composable and interoperable tech stack unlock a new future of social networking that is user-centric and developer-friendly.
