At Cyber, we lead the charge in leveraging decentralized technologies to transform online social networking and empowering global communities. As the first restaked social Layer 2, Cyber offers a fertile ground for developers to explore new monetization methods and create value for all stakeholders, particularly within the emerging realm of onchain social and in general consumer-facing decentralized applications. Our community-driven approach aims to challenge the dominance of Big Tech's walled gardens, redistributing wealth and fostering creativity on a global scale.

You can learn more about our vision for Cyber [here](https://x.com/CyberConnectHQ/status/1766117131513708664?s=20) and dive into our docs [here](https://docs.cyber.co/).

### **Build the Future of Social with Cyber Ecosystem Grants**

Encouraging innovation and supporting community-driven initiatives are crucial for progressing towards our vision and long-term growth. Recognizing this, Cyber proudly announces the launch of its Ecosystem Grants Program, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to supporting builders working on social dAapps and dev tooling.

**With a dedicated allocation of $2M worth of CYBER tokens, the program aims to catalyze innovation within the Cyber ecosystem and beyond. The inaugural Pilot Round of the program will feature a total of $150k worth of CYBER** and applications will open on April 1st and close April 12th, with winning projects being announced May 1st.

The focus of this inaugural Pilot Round grants program is on Builder Grants, targeting teams building in two key areas: Social dApps and Developer Tooling.

- Social apps, encompassing social media, social networks, and SocialFi, will be a cornerstone of this program.
- Additionally, developers working on extensions for CyberWallet, such as CyberWallet + MetaMask Snap integration, will also be eligible for consideration.

Our goal is to reward high-value builders in the Cyber ecosystem who are instrumental in helping accelerating our growth as an ecosystem and the overall adoption of onchain social and web3.  We're excited to see how these grants will empower creators to push the boundaries of decentralized technology and drive meaningful impact.

Builders eager to participate in this Pilot Round are encouraged to submit their applications starting from April 1st. Head to the [Cyber Grants Program HQ](https://app.charmverse.io/cyber-ecosystem-grants/cyber-grants-program-hq-01000772778133241) on CharmVerse to learn more and get ready to apply. More details regarding the round will be announced soon.

### **Join the Cyber Community Grants Council**

At the heart of Cyber's initiative lies a deep commitment to inclusivity and community involvement. We want our community to pioneer the future alongside us. Whether you're a developer, entrepreneur, content creator, or simply passionate about onchain social, there's a place for you within the Cyber Community.

In line with this ethos, **Cyber invites passionate community members to nominate themselves for the Grants Council, a pivotal body responsible for selecting projects eligible for grants within the program.** Comprising 2-4 individuals, the Grants Council will work hand in hand with the CharmVerse Grants team to identify project teams aligned with Cyber's goals and capable of making a meaningful impact within the ecosystem.

***Applications for self-nomination to be a part of our Cyber Grants Council open today. Nominate yourself** [here](https://app.charmverse.io/cyber-ecosystem-grants/).*

The selection process for the Grants Council will prioritize individuals who embody a strong understanding of the Cyber community and its ethos. Preference will be given to candidates with a technical background or a robust grasp of web3 fundamentals, ensuring that decision-making processes are informed and forward-thinking. To facilitate transparency and community-driven decision-making, Cyber encourages individuals to apply for the Grants Council based on their passion for innovation and their desire to contribute actively to the ecosystem's growth.

In addition, Cyber looks for candidates who have demonstrated prior involvement in the Cyber community or have previously participated in other grant initiatives. This firsthand experience underscores a candidate's commitment to the community and their understanding of its evolving needs and challenges.

Cyber Growth Grants Program represents a significant step towards fostering innovation and community-driven development within the Cyber ecosystem. By inviting community members to actively participate in the Grants Council selection process, Cyber reaffirms its commitment to inclusivity, transparency, and collaborative decision-making.

To help the community better understand the Grants and the Council, we will be holding **a special community call in our Discord at 10am EST, Mar 27th (Wed). Tune in here in our [Grants channel](https://discord.com/channels/901233976138682388/1220498225094590475).**

Together, let's build a thriving future for Cyber, onchain social and decentralized societies at large.

Link3 x Decent Creator Storytelling Series

Last month, [we introduced CyberID](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/94e7b558022376aff30fabe6c8ed07be82b6ffdf6bd2c6665cdd054dc54b4da0), a web3-native digital social identity solution. One’s digital identity carries many aspects that reflect our personas in the real world. At CyberConnect, we like to think of identity in the context of your friendships, interactions, and transactions in a world powered by blockchains. CyberID’s web3-native design makes the complex world of blockchain-based applications safer and easier to navigate. The core mandate of CyberID and your *.cyber* handle is not only to give you access to the CyberConnect ecosystem but to help you represent and differentiate yourself in web3.

Since its launch, almost [70k unique handles](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberaccount-cyberconnects-4337-smart-account) have been claimed. The response from our community to CyberID has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re deeply humbled by this enthusiasm, particularly from new users who are eager to explore and mint their own CyberID.

So, let’s jump in and get you the only web3 identity you’ll ever need.

### **Why CyberID?**

Our digital persona is the product of all of the information that exists about us online, such as our content, connections, and engagements. When our digital identities are fragmented across different platforms, there is no single place where all this information can be seen together. That’s why our digital identities in the traditional social media world often feel like a puzzle, with different platforms holding different pieces of our interactions. We post updates on Facebook, share real-time thoughts on Twitter, highlight our professional achievements or milestones on LinkedIn, and keep a visual journal of our lives on Instagram. But all these services and applications operate in their own isolated universes (or walled gardens), resulting in fragmented interactions. This can make it difficult to get a complete picture of our digital persona, and it can also be challenging to manage our own online interactions across multiple platforms and services. This necessitates a unified, self-sovereign, and decentralized identity that transcends the limitations of traditional tech giants. CyberID provides a solution to this.

Each CyberID is a tradeable ERC-721 NFT representing your social identity in web3. It acts as an alias for your various blockchain addresses, providing a simplified, human-readable handle instead of a string of alphanumeric characters — much like your username on Instagram or Twitter. CyberID makes the experience of navigating through the web3 space seamless by mitigating the complexities of managing multiple addresses on different blockchains. In simpler terms, CyberID is a way to create a single, unified identity for yourself on the blockchain. 

### How to mint your CyberID

Each CyberID is available on a demand-based one-time payment model. For a limited period, we’re offering 100% cash back on your handle purchase amount in the form of gas credit (SmartGas) to your CyberAccount.

The cost of minting your CyberID is determined by the handle length you select. Shorter and more distinctive handles incur a higher price. For example, if your chosen CyberID is **tom.cyber**, which is 3 characters long, the fee would be $1000. Each character you add or remove adjusts the fee, allowing you to choose a CyberID that fits your persona and budget.

**Step 1:** Create a CyberAccount (skip if you already have one)

- Visit [wallet.cyber.co](https://wallet.cyber.co/cyberid?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cyberid&utm_term=cyberaccount-cyberid&utm_content=CyberID+-+Your+Web3+Social+Identity), and you’ll be prompted to connect your EOA wallet, such as MetaMask.

- To initiate the connection, click on the 'Connect' button. This will bring up a list of compatible wallets. If you don’t have a wallet yet, find one that is available in your region [here](https://ethereum.org/en/wallets/find-wallet/).

- Select your wallet provider. A pop-up from your wallet will ask for confirmation to establish the connection with [wallet.cyber.co](https://wallet.cyber.co/cyberid?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cyberid&utm_term=cyberaccount-cyberid&utm_content=CyberID+-+Your+Web3+Social+Identity).

**Step 2:** Proceed to Mint Your CyberID

- Once your EOA wallet is successfully connected, locate the 'CyberID' tab on the left-hand sidebar. This will direct you to the CyberID minting page.

- A menu will appear with two options: ‘Mint’ and ‘Claim.’ Make sure you select the ‘Mint’ option to create a new CyberID. If you previously held a CyberProfile (now deprecated), you can ‘claim’ your previous handle.

**Step 3:** Choose your unique CyberID handle

- Enter your desired CyberID handle, which will be displayed as [your handle].cyber. For example, if you choose the handle ‘tom,’ your CyberID will be displayed as tom.cyber.

- Review the minting fee, which will be automatically calculated based on the length of your chosen CyberID handle. This fee will be displayed in USD and payable in ETH on the OP Mainnet network.

*Note: Before proceeding, double-check that your signer wallet has enough ETH to cover the minting fee. Remember, this transaction occurs on the OP Mainnet, so that’s where your funds need to be.*

[Mint your CyberID](https://wallet.cyber.co/cyberid?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cyberid&utm_term=cyberaccount-cyberid&utm_content=CyberID+-+Your+Web3+Social+Identity) now and join the CyberConnect community in shaping the future of social connections on the blockchain. If you need help or are having difficulty minting your CyberID, please contact us via Discord, and we'd be happy to assist you!

The yacht charter industry has long been considered an exclusive playground for the wealthy, but we at OSEAN DAO believe it’s time to democratize this sector and create opportunities for everyone. Our seasoned team of professionals has extensive experience in the yacht charter industry, as well as in cryptocurrency, finance, and marketing. We’ve developed a comprehensive business plan that takes into account all aspects of our operation, from purchasing and managing boats to marketing and selling our cryptocurrency.

Our ultimate goal is not only to generate profits for our investors but also to stimulate the cryptocurrency economy and create a sustainable ecosystem that benefits all parties involved. To achieve this vision, we’ve devised a multi-faceted approach that involves purchasing boats and placing them in the most popular charter destinations worldwide. We’ll establish a sales department for new and used yachts and participate in regattas, sailing schools, expos, and other events to increase brand awareness and generate additional revenue.

However, what sets us apart is our plan to tokenize our boats. By doing so, our investors will have ownership and receive a portion of the profits generated from chartering the boats. This will create a unique opportunity for investors to diversify their portfolio and benefit from the growing demand for yacht charters. Our cryptocurrency will be backed by physical assets and the “new money” stream from business profits will make our token deflationary with an increasing market cap. This provides stability and security for our investors and creates a unique opportunity for the broader cryptocurrency community to participate in a growing industry.

We take our responsibility seriously and are committed to ensuring the safety and security of our investors’ funds. We’ll implement rigorous security protocols and partner with reputable exchanges and wallets to ensure the integrity of our operation.

Overall, we believe that our business plan is a unique and innovative approach that combines the stability and security of physical assets with the growth potential of cryptocurrency. We’re excited to embark on this journey and create a circle of growth that benefits all parties involved. Join us and be a part of the future of the yacht charter industry!
