Building CyberWallet: Challenges and its Future

Web3 Tokyo 2023

Welcome to the [CyberWallet Beta Launch Program](http://wallet.cyber.co/rewards).

Over the past two years, the team behind CyberWallet has been at the forefront of building and growing consumer crypto infrastructure and applications. During this time, over 50 teams have built web3 applications utilizing the CyberConnect social network protocol and have cumulatively registered 1.2M+ users, creating 1.9M+ units of social content and 6M+ connections.

On this journey of bringing web3 to the world, we encountered that user onboarding presented a critical bottleneck in building robust, scalable crypto consumer products. For that reason, [in August](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/2e0c673ccbc2e07af0f17ebbf54fe5db23322626fc5e2ef1ea6ab4d91c61ba1d) we introduced CyberWallet, an ERC-4337 smart account. We’re grateful for the support of our community and the entire web3 fraternity, for giving us critical feedback to improve on that first version of CyberWallet. In the past 3 months, we deployed over [650,000 smart accounts](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberaccount-cyberconnects-4337-smart-account) on Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Base among other top blockchain networks. That accounts for over 40% of all the smart accounts across all blockchains.

Today, we’re thrilled to officially launch the [CyberWallet Beta Launch Program](https://wallet.cyber.co/rewards) to welcome our community to help us test and improve several new features as they are rolled out widely and publicly in the coming months. The key highlight of this program is [CyberApps](http://wallet.cyber.co/apps), a digital marketplace of premier web3 apps that are ready to use with account abstraction. Starting today, until **Dec 21, 2023**, whitelisted users for the CyberConnect Community Rewards: Season 2 [Early Access] will be able to use CyberApps within your CyberWallet web app and earn points that will be redeemable for CYBER token rewards at the end of the season.

### CyberWallet: What’s New?

- **SmartGas**

Make your crypto transactions a breeze with SmartGas on CyberWallet. No more swapping or bridging for gas fee payments. Pay for gas in the token of your choice, across blockchains.

Each CyberID is an ERC-721 NFT carrying a unique handle owned and operated by a CyberAccount, representing that account's social identity. It is a user-friendly alias for your blockchain addresses, offering a seamless experience across multiple chains.

- **CyberApps**

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/41dedaba44bd121e)

CyberApps is a digital marketplace of premier web3 apps readily integrated with CyberWallet. It is a place for web3 developers and users to distribute and discover top decentralized applications. Anyone from beginners just starting their crypto and NFT journey to experts in token swapping, staking, and bridging can use CyberWallet and find their favorite applications in CyberApps. The first group of apps includes [DODO](https://app.dodoex.io/?network=mainnet), [Element Marketplace](https://element.market/ethereum), [Philand](https://philand.xyz/), [BasePaint](https://basepaint.xyz/), [MyShell](https://myshell.ai/), [PancakeSwap](https://pancakeswap.finance/), [Polynomial Finance](https://www.polynomial.fi/), and [Gabby World](https://www.gabby.world/). We will continue introducing new apps in the ecosystem as our partners complete integrating with us.

- **Swap**

CyberWallet now supports native token swapping! Currently utilizing [LI.FI](http://LI.FI)’s swap protocol, CyberWallet offers a new, seamless token-swapping experience. In the future, we will expand user choices to become a super aggregator of swap aggregators.

### **CyberConnect Community Rewards: Season 2 [Early Access]**

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/40aff01c7a24e5bc)Building in web3 requires long-term commitment and dedication. The only thing that keeps us going, is the unwavering support of our community members, who have stuck with us through the highs and lows of the last two years. Not only that but building in web3 offers a unique opportunity for a community to come together and help build and grow a product that is meaningful and leaves a positive impact on the world. For those contributions, community members are rewarded - both for being early adopters and acting as brand ambassadors of those products. Today, as the incentive layer for the CyberWallet Beta Launch Program, we’re thrilled to announce the beginning of Community Rewards: Season 2 [Early Access].

Here are the specific guidelines👇🏼

✦ **Check your eligibility [here](https://wallet.cyber.co/rewards).**

**✧** Only those who applied for Season 2 [Early Access] program using [this form](https://cyberconnect.deform.cc/communityrewards/)

OR

**✧** Whitelisted by one of the launch partners (DODO, Element Marketplace, Philand, BasePaint, MyShell, PancakeSwap, Polynomial Finance, Gabby World, and Polyhedra Network).

✦ **Timeline**

**✧** CyberWallet Beta Launch Program will run from today until 21, 2023.

✦ **Tasks**

**✧** Whitelisted users will have several tasks (general and CyberApp-specific) which will be rewarded with Season 2 [Early Access] Points upon completion. Each task has different points and rewards.

✦ **Rewards**

**✧** Users with Season 2 [Early Access] Points will earn CYBER tokens from a reward pool of 25,000 CYBER for beta testing CyberWallet and its slate of new features, specifically CyberApps.

✦ **Rules**

✧ Your Season 2 CYBER reward will be calculated using the formula (Your Season 2 [Early Access] Points/ Total Season 2 [Early Access] Points Earned by all Users) x 20K CYBER. Meaning the more points you earn, the higher your reward.

✧ 5K CYBER will be used to sponsor 1 transaction per user per day as part of a promotion to incentivize user testing and activity.

We look forward to users trying out all the new features we’ve been designing at CyberWallet and receiving your feedback. With CyberWallet, we’re on a mission to bring web3 to the world. With this beta launch program and the subsequent Community Rewards: Season 2 [Early Access] incentives, we hope to take the current web3 user experience to the next level - with your help and feedback. As they say, ‘It takes a village.’

# **About ReadON**

Currently, there are about 3 million active crypto users worldwide, but billions more people are interested in crypto. They may have heard about it and know some terminologies, but they don't know how to actually get involved. They are the biggest growth potential for the Web3 community, and that is why we built ReadON.

​

### **Your Ultimate Guide to the World of Web3**

[ReadON](https://readon.me/) is a decentralized content platform that consists of a series of underlying protocols. It is compatible with Web2 content and provides content authentication and on-chain services, which can enrich the entire Web3 content ecosystem.

From the user's perspective, we have released the ReadON DAO app, which is a content aggregation product that indexes content from both Web2 and Web3 and curates content based on user behavior.

For each C-end user, we have minted a ReadON Achieve, which is an SBT that records a user's experience and reputation value in different content areas, such as Defi, Gamefi, and will be expanded to non-Web3 content topics in the future. Users with different levels of experience values will have governance rights in their area of expertise in the future, including curation, commenting weight, evaluation of content quality, voting on the creation of new topic communities, etc. As of Mar 21st, 2023, ReadON has 150k user-profiles and 20k daily active users. In just the past week, they have sent over 50k super bullet comments for on-chain interaction.

### **ReadON Danmaku - Socializing like a Gen-Z**

At Connected2023, a Web3 social hackathon by CybberConnect and BNB Chain, we launched a feature in ReadON that caters to the social style of Gen-Z. We built the first decentralized Danmaku product for Web3.

Danmaku, also known as Bullet Chat, is a popular and interactive way for younger generations to engage with videos, express their emotions, and build communities.

With ReadON Danmaku, users can sign and send on-chain bullet chats in the app, as well as send gifts or cryptodirectly to their favorite creators. This feature has quickly gained traction, with over 10K users trying it out within the first week and more than 50,000 bullet chats sent on-chain.

Moreover, ReadON provides a web version where users can watch Youtube videos with on-chain bullet chats. Any developer can easily construct a dApp to display this information from public on-chain data.

Compared to traditional interactions such as follow, comment, and like, sending bullet chats encourages better engagement and builds a stronger sense of community. Users can bypass centralized platforms to express their feelings and give cryptocurrency gifts to their favorite creators. Decentralized bullet chats also provide a bridge between Web3 communities and traditional content creators. It provides creators with new sources of fans and income and also gives them an excellent entry point to join the crypto community.

# **About CyberConnect**

[CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.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.

​

# **ReadON x CyberConnect: Decentralizing Social Networking for Future**

As a next step in the evolution of decentralized social networking, ReadON is integrating the CyberConnect protocol into its platform, providing users with enhanced security and a more seamless user experience. By using ccProfile data, ReadON is able to create a permanent identification and certification mark for users on the BNB chain, adding an extra layer of trust and verification to the platform. Additionally, the decentralized bullet commenting function enables users to interact transparently and openly on-chain, further demonstrating ReadON's commitment to fairness and transparency.

Looking ahead, ReadON plans to leverage CyberConnect's social relationships and integrate with OpenAI/ChatGPT to provide better personalized content recommendations and take content creation to the next level.

The growth potential for Web3 social is immense.. With the CyberConnect protocol and advanced features such as personalized content recommendations, ReadON is well-positioned to capitalize on the next generation of social networking and lead the charge towards a more decentralized and user-controlled web.

**Building ERC-4337 wallets 💳 ⚒️**

2023 has undoubtedly been the year of account abstraction. This year, more than 1M+ smart accounts were created and web3 users experienced for the first time what an account abstracted future on the blockchain may look like. Unfortunately, that growth has been slower than most expected.

CyberConnect cofounders Ryan Li and Zhimao Liu reflected upon their experience in building an ERC-4337 smart contract wallet and the challenges that came with it. Learn about why many of the top companies in web3 are betting on ERC-4337 and what may the future of CyberWallet look like, [here](https://link3.to/wallet/post/62f5d659d45dac9fd05aebf2fbfe3e9d36c617ab2d225767248e22c194f4ad0b).

As the blockchain and Web3 applications landscape continues to evolve, gas management across different ecosystems is becoming more of a hassle. That’s why we are excited to introduce **SmartGas**, an all-new gas balance system that redefines how users manage gas fees across multiple blockchains. With SmartGas, [CyberWallet](https://wallet.cyber.co) provides unparalleled convenience, cost-effectiveness, and security in your digital asset management.

### **What is SmartGas?**

SmartGas is the latest new feature within [CyberWallet](https://wallet.cyber.co), an ERC-4337 smart account, most suitable for a web3 citizen who uses a number Web3 applications across different blockchains. It empowers users to use a variety of tokens from different chains as gas, effectively breaking the barriers between blockchain networks.

**Key Features**

1. **Multi-Chain Convenience:** Perhaps the most striking feature of SmartGas is its ability to let users deposit native tokens from any chain* to pay for gas fees on another blockchain. For instance, one could deposit MATIC from Polygon into their SmartGas balance, which will then be reflected in its USD value at the time of deposit. That SmartGas balance can now be used for gas payment for a transaction on the Ethereum-based Optimism network. While you focus on your web3 experience, let CyberWallet handle the currency conversion.

2. **Eliminating Swap Fees:** Traditionally, converting tokens between different chains incurs significant swap fees. SmartGas eliminates this need, allowing users to maintain their assets in their original form while still enabling cross-chain functionality. This feature is not only cost-effective but also time-efficient, streamlining the process of managing different tokens.
Soon, with CyberWallet, users will be able to enable customizable security features like transaction limits, passkeys, etc.

3. **Enhanced Security:** One of the inherent risks in cryptocurrency and token management is security, especially in hot wallets. SmartGas offers additional security by having your CyberWallet manage the gas fee payments and your EOA (MetaMask etc.) simply be a depositor. Soon, with CyberWallet, users will be able to enable customizable security features like transaction limits, passkeys, etc.

### **Why SmartGas is a Game-Changer**

SmartGas addresses several pain points in the current blockchain ecosystem:

- It simplifies the process of managing gas fees across different blockchains.
- Reduces the cost and complexity of token management.
- Provides a secure and user-friendly platform for managing digital assets.

In essence, SmartGas is not just a feature; it's a step towards a more integrated, efficient, and user-centric blockchain ecosystem.

Whether you are a casual user or a blockchain enthusiast, SmartGas is poised to enhance your Web3 experience significantly.

Stay tuned for more updates and dive into the future of blockchain transactions with SmartGas and CyberWallet.

2023 has undoubtedly been the year of account abstraction. Even though the concept is nowhere new, with [early discussions](https://blog.ethereum.org/2015/07/05/on-abstraction) dating back to the beginning days of Ethereum, the industry made its [biggest leap this year](https://sixdegree.xyz/research/Half-Year-Data-Report-of-ERC4337-by-Sixdegree.pdf) in bringing working smart contract wallets to hundreds of thousands of users.

Our team at CyberConnect has been at the forefront of building and growing consumer crypto applications. Here, we’re taking a new perspective on social media, building towards a decentralized future where users exercise complete ownership and control over their social data, while developers can innovate permissionlessly. In almost three years, over 50 teams have built web3 applications utilizing the CyberConnect social network protocol, and have cumulatively registered [1.2M+ users](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberconnect-link3-metrics), creating 1.9M+ units of social content. In the past 4 months alone, we’ve deployed over 500,000 ERC-4337-compatible smart accounts on Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, Linea, opBNB, and Base. At the time of writing, that accounts for almost [50% of all the smart accounts](https://dune.com/niftytable/account-abstraction) that exist today across all blockchains. CyberAccounts have generated over [1M UserOperations](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberaccount-cyberconnects-4337-smart-account) and more than USD 1.2M has been deposited in CyberWallet for gas.

### So, why CyberWallet?

One of the most pivotal insights on our journey in building and growing consumer crypto applications emerged while navigating the challenges in user onboarding. Even though decentralized applications and protocols are fairly accessible to crypto-native users, the intrinsic complexity of blockchains and crypto wallets creates a high barrier for regular users to explore the web3 ecosystem. The most significant of these complexities include:

1. Transaction signing and the gas fee system

2. Cryptographic key management

3. Isolated blockchains

Like most other crypto teams, we want to make web3 more accessible to a wider audience. Instead of waiting for someone else to build a solution, we addressed these challenges head-on and developed [CyberWallet](https://bit.ly/3svmoIZ), an ERC-4337-compatible smart contract wallet.

We bet on [ERC-4337](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4337) because it aims to make blockchains user-friendly, increase their security, and enhance the overall functionality of wallets and transactions. Of all the enhancements it offers to the existing infrastructure, we believe the most crucial ones are:

**Flexible Authentication Layer**

ERC-4337 introduces a versatile system for managing who can access and control blockchain accounts. This flexibility means users can choose how to manage their private keys, which is essential for account access. They can either opt for:

1. **Self-Custodial Management**: Manage keys independently, using a familiar wallet interface like [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/), where users are solely responsible for their keys' safety.

2. **Shared Key Management**: Share the responsibility of managing keys with trusted parties or across multiple devices using advanced methods like Multi-Party Computation (MPC) or cloud enclaves. This can add extra security layers, as keys are not held in one place but distributed and managed collectively.

This flexibility opens the door to a number of innovative applications, like 2-factor authentication and session keys for blockchain accounts.

**More Efficient Transactions by Decoupling Gas Payments**

ERC-4337 introduces an alternative structure for processing blockchain transactions that simplifies the user experience. It does this by using a new kind of transaction, a UserOperation, which separates the transaction from the complexities of paying gas fees. This enables a 'gas-sponsored' experience where users no longer have to pay transaction fees themselves. Instead, a marketplace of gas sponsors—like blockchain companies—could emerge, where these sponsors voluntarily cover the transaction costs for users. This could play a significant role in the early stages of web3 applications by reducing barriers for users.

**Programmable Modular Account**

Smart accounts pave the way for a new generation of programmable accounts, greatly expanding the design space for developers to build novel account solutions in web3. For example, by utilizing standards like [ERC-6900](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-6900), we can offer users enhanced account functionality with modular and extensible features. This includes but is not limited to, session keys, multi-signature authentication, and on-chain guardians. The result is a ‘smart’ web3 account that can adapt to the diverse and evolving requirements of users, providing a seamless and secure interface for engaging with decentralized applications.

Unfortunately, despite these advantages, ERC-4337’s full potential has yet to be realized. While many in the industry have been touting its potential in onboarding the next billion users onto crypto, there’s a reason it hasn’t taken off at the speed many of us expected.

As we set forth on this journey to bring a robust account abstracted smart contract wallet to market, it quickly became clear to us that pioneering work often meets unanticipated obstacles. In the spirit of camaraderie and collective progress, we want to share the challenges we faced with the hope that we can move together quickly to address them as an industry.

### The Challenges

**Single Domain Stateful Architecture**

One of the key differences between an EOA and a smart contract account is that the EOA is stateless, while the smart contract account is stateful. States, like the initial access key setup, are bound to a specific smart contract account on a blockchain. This means that they are stored on each blockchain and [do not magically propagate to others](https://vitalik.ca/general/2023/06/20/deeperdive.html). Therefore, managing a smart contract account in a multi-chain setup is not as easy as switching a network inside an EOA wallet.

To get around this, at CyberWallet, we utilize [CREATE2](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/cli/2.8/deploying-with-create2) to generate deterministic account addresses from initial access keys. Important to note that for now, we assume the initial access keys are the same across different EVM-compatible blockchains. This is to provide a familiar user experience for multi-chain account addresses, similar to EOA wallets. However, because access keys may need to change over time, this presents a new challenge. While technologies like [Keystore](https://vitalik.ca/general/2023/06/20/deeperdive.html) are very appealing, we believe that in the short term, developing cross-domain infrastructure and messaging channels is definitely needed to address multi-chain state management.

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/82f46803-4c8c-4bfb-835b-17ca1265f634/postImageFolder/3d70482f39591c49)

**Gas: Estimation, Overhead, and Management Across Blockchains**

One of the biggest challenges we faced was conducting gas estimation for different blockchains. While L1 blockchains have straightforward gas estimation, ERC-4337 Gas Estimation for L2s is exponentially more complex. `preVerificationGas` for a UserOperation is proportional to `L1_price/L2_price`, and in the case where this ratio increases from the time gas estimation happens until bundling, the `UserOperation` will be rejected. While adding a buffer (~25%) to `preVerificationGas` increases the likelihood of bundling, that also means users are stuck paying for this overhead, regardless of price fluctuations in L1 and L2 gas. We work hard to provide the right balance that offers ‘most likely’ bundling without rejection and the lowest gas overhead for users. Our friends over at Alchemy wrote an excellent [blog](https://www.alchemy.com/blog/l2-gas-and-signature-aggregators) about this problem.

On top of this, another rather well-known challenge is the gas overhead caused by ERC-4337 components like the EntryPoint contract and Paymaster. Granted, this seems like a major blocker for the mass adoption of smart accounts-powered web3 applications. However, we believe that proposed Ethereum upgrades like [EIP-4844: Proto-Danksharding](https://www.eip4844.com/) will significantly lower the gas cost on L2s and make this gas overhead negligible. Of course, as ERC-4337 adoption rates increase, smart contract accounts will soon be cheaper than EOAs on L2s as they start aggregating signatures to reduce the amount of data that needs to be stored on L1.

Finally, the true success of any technology is when it disappears from the end user experience. For web3 applications, this must manifest by the complexities of blockchains completely disappearing, even as users move across apps on different networks. However, gas management across blockchains comes with its own set of challenges. In CyberWallet, we introduced **SmartGas**, a universal gas credit represented in USD value. With SmartGas, users can deposit tokens as a gas credit on any supported EVM blockchain, which is then converted into their corresponding USD value at the time of deposit. Users may utilize this credit to cover gas fees when doing transactions on any of our supported blockchains.

**Fragmented Mempool**

Ideally, the alternative mempool introduced by ERC-4337 should be accessible and shared across different bundlers to maximize the chances of a UserOperation being included in a block. However, as the P2P mempool standard is still under development, and each bundler provider has their own mempool, we arrive, albeit hesitantly, at the crossroads of a fragmented mempool. Staying dedicated to our commitment to ensuring that users’ transactions are included in the block, we decided to connect several bundler networks behind our service to increase availability and prevent censorship. UserOperations are assigned to different bundlers and their traffic split changes dynamically based on a bundler’s error rate, RPC latency, and operation pending time.

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/82f46803-4c8c-4bfb-835b-17ca1265f634/postImageFolder/cffd0a9b124d79c0)

Although helpful, this multi-bundler strategy comes with its own set of challenges. It may be possible that a user unknowingly generates duplicate operations on multiple mempools with one operation’s gas going to waste. In any case, the UserOperation path must be properly tracked should we want to support UserOperation replacement in case of network congestion. To address this, we developed a ‘UserOperation + PmData lifecycle’ to have state transition properly defined so that user won’t waste their gas credit and can do advanced UserOperation management, such as speed up transactions by paying higher gas.

**Testing the Limits: ERC-4337 Boundaries and Scalability**

Arguably, one of the most aggressive yet ambitious steps we’ve taken as a team was to test the boundaries of our ERC-4337 implementation by letting over 150k users claim their [CYBER token](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/ae8c8e2bac694aca8c7f8fd9aee3c3da6dfaf5c5427de9db52e030e66eed7e80)[ community rewards](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/ae8c8e2bac694aca8c7f8fd9aee3c3da6dfaf5c5427de9db52e030e66eed7e80). It was an audacious test in retrospect, to say the least, as over 185k UserOperations were generated on the claiming day, and 70 ETH was consumed as gas fees. Even the L1 gas price pumped up when we started the claiming event.

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/82f46803-4c8c-4bfb-835b-17ca1265f634/postImageFolder/1cc1fd0726537fe8)

Here’s what happened:

Way too many UserOperations were submitted to multiple mempools across different bundlers in a short period. Subsequently, as the gas price increased, the gas estimation in the UserOperation was too low to be included on-chain. This resulted in an increasing number of UserOperations getting stuck in the mempool, unfortunately breaking the underlying bundler infrastructures. Reasons for failure range from depleted database resources to issues with node memory, and the message queue getting stuck. Our production environment experienced about one hour of downgraded service. Now is probably a good time for a special shout-out to our friends over at [Pimlico](https://www.pimlico.io/), [Alchemy](https://www.alchemy.com/), and [Biconomy](https://www.biconomy.io/) for their endless efforts in providing support during this emergency.

Our biggest lesson from this event is to ensure a proper UserOperation rate limit based on the blockchain capacity. Developing an advanced gas estimation strategy is crucial here, as submitting many underpriced UserOperations quickly doesn’t make any sense and only creates pressure on the mempools. Not to forget, bundling multiple UserOperations in one transaction can somewhat mitigate this issue. We were specifically impressed with Alchemy’s bundler that bundled around 10 UserOperations in one transaction to accelerate transactions to be included onchain during this event.

### CyberWallet: What’s Next?

Ultimately, CyberWallet’s core mandate is to bring web3 to the world and onboard 1B+ new users into crypto. We realize the audacity of that goal and are moving quickly to achieve that. The next series of feature updates to CyberWallet include a number of fundamental changes that are sure to make the user experience of blockchain-based applications safer and more intuitive.

Here’s what’s coming:

**Improved User Onboarding with Passkeys**

Cryptographic key management remains a major complexity for users just starting their web3 journey. Currently, CyberWallet adopts a traditional EOA (like MetaMask) strategy for key management. We will continue to support that, and in fact, in the coming weeks, we will expand that to develop wallet interfaces such as a CyberAccount MetaMask Snap.

We also believe that there is no single key management framework that meets the diverse range of use cases like mobile environments, gaming, and social. Therefore, we are adopting the PassKey standard to bring web2 product UX to web3. The device-bound design of PassKey is important in terms of security and accessibility. Important to note that Ethereum doesn’t natively support such a signature yet, so for the time being, we’re using a cloud enclave solution. Fortunately, key management does not require vendor lock-in because of the flexible authentication layer of the smart contract account. We will continue to follow developments in Ethereum, like [EIP-7212](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7212), to adopt more progressive, and decentralized solutions.

**Cross Domain Framework**

With the emergence of more L2s and L1s, the isolation of blockchain systems is becoming a serious problem in navigating UX challenges. This is a complex problem and needs wider industry collaboration. We are actively researching and participating in topics like cross-rollup interoperability, AMPs (Arbitrary Message Passing Protocols), and independent mempool frameworks like Flashbot SUAVE, Anoma, etc. We believe a properly implemented cross-domain framework will elevate web3 UX significantly, and, therefore, become a core foundation for the future development of CyberWallet.

**Intent-based Design**

Paradigm recently helped revive [intent-based architectures](https://www.paradigm.xyz/2023/06/intents). ‘Declarative paradigm’ is not a new concept; in fact, many web2 systems are already built upon this programming design principle. It’s interesting to see such design thinking being adopted into blockchain systems. We are actively exploring use cases where users can express and execute their intent with multiple staged transactions. These use cases will be tested in the new version of the CyberWallet app in the coming months.

**CyberID and Multi-Chain Naming Solution**

The account states, such as underlying access keys, tend to change over time. We’ve found that it’s not practical to build upon the assumption that users will always have the same account address in a multi-chain world. In fact, it’s impossible to get the same account address in some blockchains, such as zkSync, even with CREATE2. Gnosis Safe wrote an excellent [blog](https://safe.mirror.xyz/4GcGAOFno-suTCjBewiYH4k4yXPDdIukC5woO5Bjc4w) about smart account addresses in a multi-chain landscape. We are developing our in-house naming solution called [CyberID](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/94e7b558022376aff30fabe6c8ed07be82b6ffdf6bd2c6665cdd054dc54b4da0) to allow users to track their account-related info such as counterfactual address, historical validators, and deployment status in a multi-chain setup. Therefore, users and dApps only need to use this human-readable identifier when interacting with CyberWallet.

### **Conclusion**

User onboarding remains one of the most crucial bottlenecks in bringing web3 to the world. The developments in account abstraction, especially most recently with ERC-4337, have been extremely significant and have brought the industry one step closer to mass adoption. The onus now lies on the web3 developer community and our ability to mobilize industry-wide collaboration to build user-friendly products that spread the promise of blockchains and decentralization far and wide. Our team at CyberConnect is excited to collaborate with you to bring web3 to the world.

Wallets are the cornerstone of the crypto ecosystem. They serve as the primary interface for users to interact with blockchain-based applications and manage their digital assets. But despite their critical role, traditional crypto wallets are complex to use and present a high barrier for entry for non-technical users. This process can not only be time-consuming but also frustrating for both users and app developers.

To overcome these barriers and promote wider adoption, the next generation of crypto wallets must address the challenges and difficulties that hinder user onboarding and engagement. This requires a sharp focus on simplicity, user-friendliness and interoperability. At [CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/), we didn't want to wait on the sidelines for a solution. So, [we took the initiative and created CyberWallet](https://link3.to/wallet/post/62f5d659d45dac9fd05aebf2fbfe3e9d36c617ab2d225767248e22c194f4ad0b), an ERC-4337-compatible smart contract wallet. Our goal with [CyberWallet](https://wallet.cyber.co/) is simple: to unlock the current bottleneck of user onboarding in web3 and bring crypto to a billion users.

But what exactly are smart contract wallets and how do they simplify the complex world of blockchain and crypto through account abstraction? Let's unpack the idea behind this emerging tech in crypto wallets and learn what it's trying to solve.

## Why Smart Contract Wallets?

Smart contract wallets leverage the power of smart contracts (self-executing agreements stored on the blockchain) to store and manage digital assets. Unlike traditional non-custodial wallets, smart contract wallets use [account abstraction](https://ethereum.org/en/roadmap/account-abstraction/) to abstract away the complexities of managing private keys and interacting with smart contracts. As a result, the user experience is safer and friendlier.

One of the defining characteristics of smart contract wallets is their ability to be programmed with custom logic. This flexibility allows developers to create wallets with features that cater to specific user needs and preferences, such as:

**1. Social Recovery**

In traditional wallets, if users lose their seed phrase, they permanently lose access to their funds. This can be devastating, as seed phrases are often difficult to memorize and can be easily lost or stolen. Social recovery, on the other hand, provides a more secure and user-friendly solution. Instead of relying on a single seed phrase, social recovery utilizes a trusted network of contacts, such as friends or family members, who can help recover a lost wallet. This approach is based on the idea that multiple people are less likely to lose their ability to access a wallet simultaneously than a single individual.

**2. Signless Transactions**

Traditional wallets require users to sign each transaction using their private keys, which can be a cumbersome and time-consuming process. This is particularly true for users who frequently interact with decentralized applications (dApps) or make numerous transactions throughout the day. Smart contract wallets can address this limitation by introducing signless transaction capabilities. They can allow users to pre-approve a set of transactions or delegate the signing process to a trusted third party. This approach significantly reduces the time and effort required to execute transactions, making it more convenient for users to manage their digital assets.

**3. Batch Transactions**

Each transfer or interaction requires separate confirmations and gas fees in traditional wallet-based transactions. This can become cumbersome and time-consuming, especially for users who frequently make multiple transactions or interact with decentralized applications (dApps). Smart contract wallets can address this limitation by introducing batch transactions, a feature that groups multiple transactions into a single batch. This batch is then processed as a single transaction, significantly reducing the number of confirmations and gas fees required.

**4. Gasless Transactions**

In traditional gas fee mechanisms, users must hold the native currency of the blockchain network in their wallets to execute transactions. For instance, on the Ethereum network, ETH is the native currency used to pay gas fees for transactions. This method might be frustrating for people who are just starting out and don't have ETH or the means to get it. Gasless transactions address this challenge by decoupling gas fee payment from the transaction sender. This means that users can initiate transactions without having to hold the native currency of the network. Instead, gas fees can be paid by a third party, such as dApp providers or designated sponsors (called paymasters).

**5. Multi-Signature Transactions**

Multi-signature transactions can introduce a layer of redundancy and shared control, requiring authorization from multiple parties before a transaction can be executed. This collaborative approach significantly strengthens security by making it more difficult for a single individual or compromised device to access and steal funds. For instance, a multi-signature wallet could require approval from multiple family members or trusted friends, ensuring that multiple eyes are always watching over funds.

**6. Spending Limits**

Spending limits can introduce an additional safeguard against unauthorized or excessive transactions. By setting spending limits, users can define the maximum amount that can be transferred from their wallet within a specific timeframe. This feature is particularly useful in preventing large-scale unauthorized transactions or safeguarding against impulsive decisions. For example, a user could set a daily spending limit, ensuring that even if their wallet were compromised, attackers would only be able to steal a limited amount of funds.

## Final Thoughts

Smart contract wallets are a significant step forward in the crypto world, especially for beginners. They simplify what was once complex, making it easier to manage digital assets compared to traditional wallets. With these wallets, the challenges of handling private keys and understanding gas fees become less intimidating. For newcomers, this means a more welcoming entry into crypto.

And keep an eye out – the all-new [CyberWallet](https://wallet.cyber.co/) will be launching in beta soon, ready to make your blockchain interactions so much easier and user-friendly!

## FAQ

**1. What is the difference between EOA wallets and smart contract wallets?**

In traditional EOA wallets, your private keys — which you need to access your crypto — are stored on one device at a time. If something happens to your device or if someone manages to steal your keys, you can lose access to your funds. Smart contract wallets keep your private keys on the blockchain itself through smart contracts. This way, it’s possible to securely access your crypto from multiple devices.

**2. What is the difference between MPC wallets and smart contract wallets?**

In MPC (multi-party computation) wallets, the private key is divided into multiple parts (or shares). This way, no single person or device can access the complete private key. This added layer of security eliminates a single point of failure. Smart contract wallets don’t rely on traditional private keys at all. They use smart contracts to store and manage your assets.

**3. How do smart contract wallets work?**

Smart contract wallets can allow for blockchain accounts to be programmed with custom logic through the use of smart contracts. This programmability allows wallet providers to create account functionalities tailored to the diverse needs of Web3 users. For example, they can be programmed to require multiple signatures to approve transactions, or support on-chain guardians to make it easier to restore your wallet using social recovery options.

**4. How to create a smart contract wallet?**

Creating a smart contract wallet can be done in a few clicks. Just visit [wallet.cyber.co](http://wallet.cyber.co/) and start by clicking the 'Connect' button at the top right corner of the page. Connect your existing wallet (like MetaMask or Trust Wallet) to create a smart contract account on CyberWallet.

**About CyberConnect**

[CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/) is a web3 social network that enables developers to create social applications empowering users to own their digital identity, content, connections, and monetization channels.[ Messari](https://link3.to/messari),[ Rarible](https://link3.to/rarible),[ 1inch](https://link3.to/1inch),[ BNB Chain](https://link3.to/bnbchain), along with 2,900 projects and 1.2M users and creators are building long-lasting connections through apps built on CyberConnect.

Welcome to the [CyberWallet Beta Launch Program](http://wallet.cyber.co/rewards).

Over the past two years, the team behind CyberWallet has been at the forefront of building and growing consumer crypto infrastructure and applications. During this time, over 50 teams have built web3 applications utilizing the CyberConnect social network protocol and have cumulatively registered 1.2M+ users, creating 1.9M+ units of social content and 6M+ connections.

On this journey of bringing web3 to the world, we encountered that user onboarding presented a critical bottleneck in building robust, scalable crypto consumer products. For that reason, [in August](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/2e0c673ccbc2e07af0f17ebbf54fe5db23322626fc5e2ef1ea6ab4d91c61ba1d) we introduced CyberWallet, an ERC-4337 smart account. We’re grateful for the support of our community and the entire web3 fraternity, for giving us critical feedback to improve on that first version of CyberWallet. In the past 3 months, we deployed over [650,000 smart accounts](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberaccount-cyberconnects-4337-smart-account) on Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Base among other top blockchain networks. That accounts for over 40% of all the smart accounts across all blockchains.

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/f26e74df13df1ac9)
Today, we’re thrilled to officially launch the [CyberWallet Beta Launch Program](https://wallet.cyber.co/rewards) to welcome our community to help us test and improve several new features as they are rolled out widely and publicly in the coming months. The key highlight of this program is [CyberApps](http://wallet.cyber.co/apps), a digital marketplace of premier web3 apps that are ready to use with account abstraction. Starting today, until **Dec 21, 2023**, whitelisted users for the CyberConnect Community Rewards: Season 2 [Early Access] will be able to use CyberApps within your CyberWallet web app and earn points that will be redeemable for CYBER token rewards at the end of the season.

### CyberWallet: What’s New?

- **SmartGas**
![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/341813d786005ae7)
Make your crypto transactions a breeze with SmartGas on CyberWallet. No more swapping or bridging for gas fee payments. Pay for gas in the token of your choice, across blockchains.

- **CyberID: One Identity across Blockchains**

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/58d33903ec2b2c02)
Each CyberID is an ERC-721 NFT carrying a unique handle owned and operated by a CyberAccount, representing that account's social identity. It is a user-friendly alias for your blockchain addresses, offering a seamless experience across multiple chains.

- **CyberApps**

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/41dedaba44bd121e)
CyberApps is a digital marketplace of premier web3 apps readily integrated with CyberWallet. It is a place for web3 developers and users to distribute and discover top decentralized applications. Anyone from beginners just starting their crypto and NFT journey to experts in token swapping, staking, and bridging can use CyberWallet and find their favorite applications in CyberApps. The first group of apps includes [DODO](https://app.dodoex.io/?network=mainnet), [Element Marketplace](https://element.market/ethereum), [Philand](https://philand.xyz/), [BasePaint](https://basepaint.xyz/), [MyShell](https://myshell.ai/), [PancakeSwap](https://pancakeswap.finance/), [Polynomial Finance](https://www.polynomial.fi/), and [Gabby World](https://www.gabby.world/). We will continue introducing new apps in the ecosystem as our partners complete integrating with us.

- **Swap**
![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/9a437a0923317380)
CyberWallet now supports native token swapping! Currently utilizing [LI.FI](http://LI.FI)’s swap protocol, CyberWallet offers a new, seamless token-swapping experience. In the future, we will expand user choices to become a super aggregator of swap aggregators.

### **CyberConnect Community Rewards: Season 2 [Early Access]**

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/40aff01c7a24e5bc)Building in web3 requires long-term commitment and dedication. The only thing that keeps us going, is the unwavering support of our community members, who have stuck with us through the highs and lows of the last two years. Not only that but building in web3 offers a unique opportunity for a community to come together and help build and grow a product that is meaningful and leaves a positive impact on the world. For those contributions, community members are rewarded - both for being early adopters and acting as brand ambassadors of those products. Today, as the incentive layer for the CyberWallet Beta Launch Program, we’re thrilled to announce the beginning of Community Rewards: Season 2 [Early Access].

Here are the specific guidelines👇🏼

✦ **Check your eligibility [here](https://wallet.cyber.co/rewards).**

**✧** Only those who applied for Season 2 [Early Access] program using [this form](https://cyberconnect.deform.cc/communityrewards/)

OR

**✧** Whitelisted by one of the launch partners (DODO, Element Marketplace, Philand, BasePaint, MyShell, PancakeSwap, Polynomial Finance, Gabby World, and Polyhedra Network).

✦ **Timeline**

**✧** CyberWallet Beta Launch Program will run from today until 21, 2023.

✦ **Tasks**

**✧** Whitelisted users will have several tasks (general and CyberApp-specific) which will be rewarded with Season 2 [Early Access] Points upon completion. Each task has different points and rewards.

✦ **Rewards**

**✧** Users with Season 2 [Early Access] Points will earn CYBER tokens from a reward pool of 25,000 CYBER for beta testing CyberWallet and its slate of new features, specifically CyberApps.

✦ **Rules**

✧ Your Season 2 CYBER reward will be calculated using the formula (Your Season 2 [Early Access] Points/ Total Season 2 [Early Access] Points Earned by all Users) x 20K CYBER. Meaning the more points you earn, the higher your reward.

✧ 5K CYBER will be used to sponsor 1 transaction per user per day as part of a promotion to incentivize user testing and activity.

We look forward to users trying out all the new features we’ve been designing at CyberWallet and receiving your feedback. With CyberWallet, we’re on a mission to bring web3 to the world. With this beta launch program and the subsequent Community Rewards: Season 2 [Early Access] incentives, we hope to take the current web3 user experience to the next level - with your help and feedback. As they say, ‘It takes a village.’

CyberApps 用户指南

***Earn free crypto by participating in Link3 events! Set up your Link3 profile, explore events, and claim W3ST as your proof of participation.***

In today's digital world, social media platforms are vital for connecting with web3 projects and communities, but often, we end up feeling like mere spectators. While we can interact through likes, comments, and shares, these actions seldom translate into real impact or recognition. Web3 projects are different; they rely heavily on active community involvement. Traditional social media doesn't quite capture the essence of this engagement, lacking in ways to truly acknowledge and reward our contributions. This gap highlights the need for platforms that not only connect us but also value and reward our efforts. Web3 promises just that — a space where every contribution is meaningful and appreciated.

At Link3, your involvement and engagement in digital events is rewarded. And that’s why we've made it simple for you to find and participate in events hosted by top projects in crypto.

Imagine attending a Discord AMA or X Space not only for the valuable insights and connections they offer but also for the chance to earn some free crypto as a reward for your participation. Link3 makes this a reality by allowing users to reap the benefits of their community engagement and become active participants in the Web3 ecosystem.

So, let's explore the exciting ways you can engage with Link3 events and maximize your potential of earning some crypto rewards.

## Setting Up Your Account on Link3

To get started, create your Link3 profile. This process is easy and can be completed in a few clicks:

**1. Create a CyberAccount**

- Head over to the [Link3.to](https://link3.to/) homepage.

- Look for the 'Connect Wallet' button in the top right corner and click on it. This will show a list of wallet options. If you don't have a wallet yet, find one that's 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 Link3.

**2. Proceed to Link3 Settings**

- After successfully connecting your wallet, it's time to ensure that your profile settings are configured correctly.

- Go to your Link3 profile settings. Here, you'll need to link your X and Discord accounts. This step is crucial for participating in Link3 events. Without linking these accounts, you won't be able to join events. This way, we make sure that only genuine and active participants are rewarded.

**Minting Your CyberID (Optional but Useful)**

Minting a CyberID isn't a must to participate in events, but it's a good idea. CyberID is your unique handle on Link3, just like your username on X or Instagram. Moreover, if you want your own Link3 profile, you'll need a CyberID. You can still participate in events without a CyberID, but to show off your W3ST status tokens (more on that later), you'll need a profile page with your CyberID handle. Here’s [everything you need to know about CyberID](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/c277cf2c71a4840e88966fcee11a07c9c521b9688b06042e5c1f7860eafe0fd1) and how to mint yours.

That's it! If you've connected your X and Discord accounts to your Link3, you can explore and participate in events. In the next section, we'll guide you through how to find and join these events to start earning your rewards.

## Discover Events and Earn Rewards for Participating

Now that your Link3 profile is all set up, you're ready to dive into the exciting part: participating in events and earning rewards. Here's how to get started:

**1. Discovering Link3 Events**

- By selecting the "Events" tab from the navigation bar, you can check out a wide range of events hosted on Link3. When you click on this tab, you will be given the option to choose between two main options: Explore and All Events.

- You'll find a carefully curated selection of featured events on the 'Explore' page. These events highlight some of the most exciting and rewarding community engagement opportunities available on Link3.

- On the 'All Events' page, you can further narrow down your search and find events using the filtering options based on categories like "Trending," "Upcoming," or "Newly Added." This way, you can discover events that match your interests and reward goals.

Each event listing provides a brief overview, including the event title, description, date and time, and the rewards on offer. To dive deeper into a particular event, click on its listing. There, you'll find all the details, including speaker information and the eligibility criteria for earning rewards.

**2. Earning Rewards**

Link3 offers two main types of rewards to encourage and incentivize user participation:

- **W3ST:** Event organizers award W3ST (Web3 Status Token pronounced as west) to participants who meet eligibility requirements. These ERC-721 NFTs serve as digital proof of attendance to signify your active participation and engagement in Link3 events.

- **Raffle Rewards:** In addition to W3ST tokens, some events offer extra raffle rewards in the form of crypto tokens.

*Note: Remember that not every event includes raffle rewards. So, if you're specifically interested in events offering free crypto, use filters to narrow down your search to only those with raffle rewards.*

**3. Claiming Your Rewards**

- To enter a raffle, follow the steps set by the event creators. This usually involves tweeting the event link before it starts, following an X account, liking/retweeting a tweet, and attending the event. Typically, participants are required to stay for a set amount of time, like 5, 10, or 15 minutes, to be eligible.

- Some events offer both raffle rewards and W3ST tokens, and the criteria for each may differ. So, be sure to complete all steps to qualify for both types of rewards.

- If you're chosen as a raffle winner, you'll receive the promised crypto reward directly in your wallet for participating in the event. As for the W3ST tokens, you can claim them after the event is over. Just keep in mind that claiming W3ST might require paying a gas fee.

So, what are you waiting for? Link3 has hosted over 14k events by over 2,500 top projects in crypto. Join today and reap the rewards of your community engagement!

## FAQ

**1. Can I link multiple social media accounts to my Link3 profile?**

Yes, you can link multiple social media accounts to your Link3 profile. Currently, you can link your X and Discord accounts.

**2. How are winners chosen for the crypto rewards in raffles?**

Once the raffle is complete, Link3 will randomly select winners from the list of eligible participants. Winners will be announced on the event page, and the crypto rewards will be distributed directly to their wallets.

**3. How is my participation in events and raffles verified?**

Your participation in events and raffles is automatically monitored by Link3 on X and Discord. These bots track your attendance, posts, and other actions to ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria for rewards.

**4. How can I track my participation and rewards on Link3?**

To track your participation and rewards, make sure your wallet is connected to Link3. Then, click on your profile picture in the top right corner to access the drop-down menu. Select "W3ST" to see tokens available to claim and participation history.

The original purpose of web3 social is to forge a digital renaissance, returning identity, content, and social data ownership back to users.

Inspired by that purpose to decentralize social networking on the internet, our team behind [CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/) has been at the frontier of innovating new web3 social primitives, empowering users to maximize the potential of their digital social identities and enabling developers to bootstrap their innovative social products.

Over the past year, building upon and expanding CyberConnect V2, we have learned several invaluable lessons to understand the challenges that lie between where we stand as an industry and truly realizing the original purpose, bringing web3 social to a billion+ users globally.

We are excited to share the breakthroughs our team has made to pave the way for web3 social into its next stage of hyper scalability and a social networking experience that feels familiar. We are honored to present to you CyberConnect V3 - a set of powerful upgrades to the CyberConnect social network protocol to usher web3 social into a new, multi-chain future.

### Our Journey So Far

CyberConnect harnesses blockchain technology to empower users with ownership of their identity, content, and social data. In doing so, we enable both users and developers to experience a range of exciting new social networking primitives that are interoperable, censorship-resistant, and decentralized.

When we introduced CyberConnect V2 in August last year, we incorporated a fundamental upgrade to the original CyberConnect social network protocol that deployed a hybrid (EVM + [Arweave](https://www.arweave.org/)) scaling architecture for web3 social applications. This scaling solution enabled dApps in the CyberConnect ecosystem to attract over 1.6M profile sign-ups and enable new content tokenization primitives on networks beyond [Ethereum](https://ethereum.org/en/) Mainnet, like [BNB Chain](https://www.bnbchain.org/en) and [Polygon](https://polygon.technology/). By utilizing this hybrid solution, dApps could store users’ high unit value social data like profile, content, and collects on-chain while utilizing decentralized storage systems like Arweave for the rest. This crucial design implementation enables web3 social dApps to support various use cases without being restricted by limited blockspace.

Over the last 11 months, these upgrades helped engage over 1.3M unique wallets to execute 14.7M on-chain transactions on the CyberConnect protocol. In addition to 2.5M follow actions, 5.8M likes, and over 10.5M NFTs minted, more than 1.6M unique content was created across our rich ecosystem of social dApps, including [Link3](https://link3.to/), [Phaver](https://link3.to/phaver), [ReadOn](https://link3.to/readon), etc. Thanks to our dedicated community of users and developers, their engagement in the past few months has propelled CyberConnect as a top 10 contender on [DappRadar](https://dappradar.com/) across all networks and categories.

CyberConnect V2 also set the stage for soulbound tokens in web3 with W3ST (web3 status token, pronounced as west), enabling over 2,400 organizations, including [CoinMarketCap](https://link3.to/coinmarketcap), [PoolTogether](https://link3.to/pooltogether), [Maverick](https://link3.to/maverickprotocol), etc., to recognize and reward their most engaged and loyal supporters as proof of participation in those communities.

### Inside a Resilient Web3 Social Network

Since we’re building in public, our challenges have been visible far and wide. This has also helped us learn in public and iterate the CyberConnect protocol in real time to meet the demands of web3 social users and developers.

Even though CyberConnect V2 has been deployed on the Ethereum Mainnet, BNB Chain, and Polygon, it is simply not feasible to operate on multiple chains simultaneously due to the risk of fragmenting user identity. On top of this, it’s still remarkably complex to switch between blockchain networks as a user. Not to forget, even if they somehow tread along and become a seasoned web3 user, they need to acquire native tokens through a fiat on-ramp, CEX, or a bridge for every particular blockchain!

With these challenges top of mind, we returned to the drawing board and re-engaged with the first principles of decentralized social network protocols.

A resilient web3 social network protocol:

1. upholds a user’s holistic identity;
2. is multi-chain; 
3. abstracts away the complexities of network switching; and
4. is scalable.

**Current Challenges**

The primary challenge in introducing CyberConnect to multiple chains is to decouple different functions of a “user identity” to uphold a holistic identity.

The word ‘Identity’ is often overused but widely misunderstood. At first glance, it is a unique identifier that differentiates one person from another. However, in the added context of social networks, identity serves two crucial functions: authentication and authorization. Much like a username/email and password in web2 help validate a user and their ownership of an account, a web3 identity relies on a private key/seed phrase and cryptographic signatures to do the same. Furthermore, a social identity is like a database of a user’s social journey and constitutes important social events/actions like the content they create and engage with. In web3, Identity also needs to have a unique human readable identifier (abhi.cyber or abhir.eth) tied to it. Finally, users’ public information, like display name, bio, and avatars, is part of that same identity. While these are all distinct components of a web3 identity, they all have very different functionalities and properties.

CyberConnect V2 coupled them in an all-encompassing non-transferable ‘CyberProfile.’ Even though CyberProfile holders could change their public information like bio and avatar attached to their profile, they could not change their authentication method (EOA wallet) or username/handles after acquiring their identity.

But, much like updating your username, email, or phone number in web2, users in web3 must be able to change their authentication identity to enhance security or if their original credentials are compromised. Not only this, users must also have the flexibility to change or trade premium usernames without losing the rich history of their social journey.

Unfortunately, this is a much harder challenge to overcome. Then, if you add another difficulty of expanding a modular identity infrastructure to multiple blockchain networks, the complexity of this challenge escalates exponentially.

Fortunately, we’ve found a solution.

### Web3 Social's Multi-Chain Future

CyberConnect V3 consists of a set of powerful upgrades to the CyberConnect social network to usher web3 social into a new, multi-chain future. This upgrade will power the next stage of hyper scalability for web3 social dApps and give users a social networking experience that feels familiar to web2.

V3 has three core components: CyberAccount, an [ERC-4337](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4337)-compatible identity infrastructure; CyberGraph, a censorship-resistant database to record users’ content + social connections; and CyberNetwork, a gas-efficient and scalable network to bring CyberConnect to the world.

### CyberAccount

CyberAccount is a suite of smart contracts that collectively represent a user’s self-sovereign digital identity, linking it to their content and social connections. This web3 account infrastructure comprises 4 key components, each with a different purpose:

**Authentication & Authorization**

CyberAccount is commissioned with defining the workflow for user authentication and authorization on the CyberConnect protocol.

Each CyberAccount is controlled and managed by one or more cryptographic key pairs, thus enabling a clear distinction between a user’s account and their web3 wallet. Through our collaboration with [ZeroDev](https://zerodev.app/), we incorporated this crucial design implementation that sets the stage to power several powerful primitives. This includes social recovery for cases of identity/private key loss as well as email, social, or phone login options for a seamless and familiar onboarding experience devoid of the need for seed phrase management.

Our team at CyberConnect is passionately committed to empowering users’ rights to privacy. We will therefore introduce an additional upgrade to CyberAccount in the coming months utilizing zero-knowledge proofs and privacy computing technology.

**ERC-4337 Compatible**

CyberAccount is ERC-4337 compatible, meaning it abstracts away the complexities of network switching and gas payments for end users. We worked closely with [StackUp](https://www.stackup.sh/) & [Pimlico](https://twitter.com/pimlicoHQ) to deploy an in-house bundler and paymaster solution, allowing us to improve the clunky user experience of web3 wallets and implement third-party-designed mechanisms to pay for users’ transactions. These kinds of transactions may also be called gasless transactions, and they’re crucial to level up the end-user experience. Without a bundler and paymaster, users would need to manually change networks every time they interact with a profile or content from another blockchain and acquire the blockchain's native token in their account to pay for transactions.

The paymaster allows CyberConnect protocol, the underlying network, or any given web3 dApp to pay for transactions on users' behalf, thus opening up a whole new level of possibilities for mass user onboarding and supercharge platform bootstrapping.

On CyberConnect, users will also be able to top up their gas credit from a network of their choice and use that credit on any other chain CyberAccount is deployed on, truly taking web3 social multi-chain.

And yes, [$CYBER](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/d430762b4c4a220decb9e8875db78f9af741699774d483d11b9c7203b1582e36) will eventually be used as the gas token across the protocol.

**CyberID**

Much like your username on Instagram or Twitter, CyberID is an ERC-721 token that represents a unique handle for your account in the CyberConnect social network.

Unlike most ERC-721 tokens, registering/minting a CyberID does not imply perpetual ownership. CyberID functions upon a demand-based recurring fees model. If you forget to extend the registration of your handle, it is released to an auction process.

During the growth phase of the CyberConnect social network, a portion of the CyberID registration fees will be refunded to the CyberAccount as $CYBER token in the form of gas credit.

**Organization Account**

Web3 social is not just for individual users. It’s also for teams, organizations, and brands to connect with their audiences and build meaningful, contribution-based communities. Link3, a web3 social network to build and discover new communities, is the biggest dApp within CyberConnect by user activity. It is loved by web3-native teams across blockchain networks for their community management needs. To push the potential of CyberAccount one step further, we’ve designed a powerful new way for organizations to embark on their web3 social journey. The organization account is a special kind of CyberAccount that provides advanced account management features such as multi-sig and customizable access control rules.

Additionally, the CyberConnect social network protocol provides a robust verification infrastructure that allows any third party to verify external accounts (e.g. Twitter, Discord) associated with the org account.

### CyberGraph

In web2, social graphs represent the connections between users, their content, and interests. They are a key data set social network platforms use to capture attention and increase user engagement. However, social graphs have recently become more of a limitation for users and developers due to their rampant centralization by big tech. To offer an alternative, we’re introducing CyberGraph, a decentralized, censorship-resistant, and user-owned alternative to power the next generation of social networking platforms on the internet.

CyberGraph is a set of smart contracts that links user identities (CyberAcconts) to their content and social connections and enables the recording of that rich social data onto multiple EVM-compatible blockchains. Through CyberGraph’s unique, customizable middleware design, storing users’ high-unit value social data on blockchain databases unlocks several novel social networking and community-building primitives, including monetization through tokenization.

**Content**

Every user with a CyberAccount is already equipped with creator capabilities and can publish monetizable content. When a piece of content like a post, image, or video is first created on a dApp on the CyberConnect protocol, it is uploaded to a decentralized storage system like IPFS or Arweave, following which a link between the URL of the content and the creator’s account is recorded on the CyberGraph smart contract. This decentralized account-to-content linking is foundational in guaranteeing true user ownership and removing centralized control from any one platform.  It is a critical step in facilitating online communication on the open web to prevent a corrupted/disincentivized platform from monopolizing and manipulating content distribution.

CyberGraph also sets the stage for the next stage of growth for the creator economy, empowering artists and creators to offer new experiences to their fans/audience by making their content collectible. Each collect signals a fan’s support of a specific piece of content or creator with a permanent record on the blockchain. Creators can use this engagement information to identify their earliest or their most engaged supporters and tailor their rewards or growth campaigns accordingly.

Additionally, every time a user comments on a piece of content on the CyberConnect social network, a link to the original content is established on the smart contract, ensuring content sovereignty and provenance. Users can also amplify the original content by sharing posts, images, videos, etc., much like in web2.

**W3ST**

One of the most community-loved features of CyberConnect V2 is W3ST (Web3 Status Token, pronounced as West). It is a non-transferrable NFT with on-chain issuer reference that acts as a digitally verifiable indicator of a user’s status in their community. It is a powerful instrument for users to find their tribe in web3. Organizations use W3ST to recognize their most engaged and loyal supporters and therefore build a digitally verifiable, immutable, and contextually meaningful contribution-based value system in their communities. W3ST is also instrumental in growing communities because it helps identify potential members with similar interests, affiliations, and past experiences.

We are thrilled to share that W3ST is now more gas efficient and even more discoverable. Instead of every W3ST as its unique ERC-721 contract, organizations will now utilize a singular ERC-1155 smart contract to save gas and empower their members with better discoverability on NFT platforms.

**Subscription**

Connections are the fabric that weaves online social networks; creators should be able to monetize the relationships and friendships they've garnered from their content and social capital. On CyberConnect protocol, subscriptions are designed to enable self-sovereign monetization of creators' communities.

In V3, users must set up their subscription logic with a predefined monthly fee to enable subscriptions. When your audience subscribes to you, they would need to prepay at least one month of subscription fee. With Subscription, creators can easily monetize their exclusive pay-to-reveal content.

**Middleware**

CyberGraph follows a middleware architecture to create more design space for customized logic. Middlewares are plug-and-play custom execution logic codes that run before and after an action trigger to extend the default behaviors in social networks.

CyberConnect provides a repository of middleware for developers to use by generalizing common computational patterns. For example, imagine that dApp *A* wants to build a social network for [Bored Ape Yacht Club](https://boredapeyachtclub.com/#/) by setting the condition that only BAYC holders can mint their app-specific ContentNFT, and dApp *B* wants to do the same thing for RTFKT’s [CloneX](https://clonex.rtfkt.com/) holders. The underlying pattern here is the same; the only difference is the gated ERC-721 contract address.

We invite the developer community to contribute to this repository and help us build a wide range of reusable middleware together. Dapp developers can pick and choose the relevant ones to plug into their dApp easily.

### CyberNetwork

Blockchains were designed for a decentralized, transparent, secure, and immutable system for recording and verifying information. However, actually storing data on existing blockchains is expensive. So, even though representing social data on the blockchain is good for programmability and interoperability, high gas costs are an incredibly challenging bottleneck for scaling web3 social networks to a billion users. In the last 11 months, over $2M in gas fees was paid by 1.3M users on CyberConnect V2 alone. Users need a better alternative that is dramatically scalable without compromising their data ownership.

In the coming months, we will introduce additional upgrades to the CyberConnect social network to make all social interactions/transactions much cheaper.

### **Roadmap**

CyberConnect V3 will be available for use in the coming days, beginning with Link3.

In the coming weeks, we will officially roll out the upgraded CyberConnect social network to multiple L1 and L2 blockchain networks through an exclusive launch campaign with Link3 called, **CyberVoyage.** We invite web3 teams across ecosystems to join us. More details will be shared soon.

**Collect this post and unlock limited-edition early supporter benefits to commemorate this monumental upgrade to CyberConnect and usher web3 social to its new, multi-chain future.** More details about the benefits will be announced next week, along with more information on CyberVoyage.

Additional developer toolkits with an updated indexer and API server will be made available in August.

TL;DR CyberConnect V3 is a set of powerful upgrades to the CyberConnect social network protocol to usher web3 social into a new, multi-chain future. It will power the next stage of hyper scalability for web3 social dApps and give users a social networking experience that feels familiar to web2.  I

CyberConnect V3: A New, Multi-Chain Future for Web3 Social

**TL;DR**

- [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) is a tradeable, ERC-721 NFT carrying a unique handle owned and operated by a CyberAccount.

- It makes it easier for you to manage your multiple wallet addresses across blockchains while keeping things safe and simple. CyberID is also compatible with the Ethereum Name Service (ENS), and allows users and organizations to issue subdomains like **nft.ryan.cyber** `under the` **ryan.cyber** handle.

- Existing owners of a CyberProfile premium handle will automatically receive their CyberIDs, and users looking to [register a new 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) will need to purchase their new handles. For a limited time, there is a 100% cash back on new handle purchases in the form of a gas credit (Cyber SmartGas) on CyberAccount.

In the ever-evolving landscape of web3 and blockchain technology, how we perceive and interact with digital identities is transforming. At CyberConnect, we specifically focus on your social identity in the context of your friendships, interactions, and transactions in a digital world, powered by blockchains. More than just a unique identifier, identity serves the crucial functions of authentication and authorization. It represents your social journey and points to important social events/actions like the content you create and engage with. On top of that, web3 identities need to have a human-readable identifier, and, many argue, that it even be tradeable!

These multiple facets of identity led us to evolve the ERC-721-based CyberProfile account system into CyberAccount, a multi-chain, ERC-4337-compatible smart contract wallet. By decoupling the various functions that made up a user identity between an EOA wallet on the EVM and an ERC-721 token, and applying the technical innovations of account abstraction and ERC-4337, we arrived at a much more holistic version of a web3 identity. In other words, it was a bit like tuning individual instruments into an orchestra. Even though the instrument has its unique sound and role, when they are all tuned and played together in harmony, they produce a symphony greater than the sum of their parts.

CyberAccount empowers the CyberConnect social network to be truly multi-chain while preserving user social identity across blockchain networks. Today, we’re thrilled to unveil **CyberID,** a unique handle system representing you and your ever-evolving social relationships, interests, and identity on Ethereum.

**CyberID**

Each CyberID is an ERC-721 NFT carrying a unique handle owned and operated by a CyberAccount, representing that account's social identity. It is a user-friendly alias for your blockchain addresses, offering a seamless experience across multiple chains.

Here is what’s unique about CyberID:

**1. Safe and Simple Multi-Wallet Management:** In web3, users can have multiple different wallets across blockchains, and it can be hard to manage all of them. CyberID simplifies this. No matter which chain you're on, your CyberID remains consistent, resolving to the appropriate address for each network. This ensures that you have a single, memorable handle that represents you across the blockchain universe, irrespective of the intricacies of individual chains.

**2. ENS Compatible**: We understand the value of existing systems. CyberID is designed to be compatible with the Ethereum Name Service (ENS). If you're familiar with sending funds to an ENS handle like **`ryan.eth`**, you can now do the same with a CyberID handle, with a minor modification. On ENS-compatible web3 applications, you can send funds to **`ryan.cyber.id`** and let CyberID do the magic.

**3. Create your own Subdomains:** With CyberID, every user doesn't just get a handle; they get ownership of a unique domain on the CyberConnect social network. This means that if you own **`ryan.cyber`**, it's not just a handle — it's a digital realm under your control. As the owner of a **`.cyber`** handle, you can generate as many subdomains as you like, following the format **`nft.ryan.cyber`** under the primary **`ryan.cyber`** domain. Whether it's for different purposes, projects, or just for fun, the possibilities here are endless.

Every CyberID is tradeable and will be available on a demand-based, one-time payment model. However, starting now until the end of 2023, we have a special offer for early adopters:

1. Existing owners of a CyberProfile premium handle with a character length of 11 or less, have already been airdropped their existing handles on their CyberAccounts. Log in to your CyberWallet to [view](https://wallet.cyber.co?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cyberid&utm_term=cyberaccount-cyberid&utm_content=CyberID+-+Your+Web3+Social+Identity).

2. Existing owners of CyberProfile with a handle character length over or equal to 12 will have the chance to [claim their handle on CyberWallet](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) for free.

3. Users looking to [register a new 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) must claim their new handles. However, until the end of the year, we will offer 100% cash back on your handle amount in the form of gas credit (Cyber SmartGas) on your CyberAccount.

4. For users not yet ready to purchase a CyberID but still want to get involved, a free randomly generated memorable CyberID subdomain like **`octopus-teacher.me.cyber`** will be made available for claiming. (coming soon)

CyberID allows users to evolve their online personas, mirroring the fluidity of real-world social dynamics, without being tied to one crypto wallet or blockchain community.

In the coming weeks, we’ll unveil how CyberID fits within the CyberAccount ecosystem and share a number of exciting opportunities for you to try it out yourself.

As always, we hope to get your feedback as we continue building CyberConnect, web3’s leading social network in public.

Welcome to CyberID.

-   *Và token mọi người nắm giữ trên ví phải có trước khi proposal của DAO đó được tạo ra (VD: Nếu mọi người nắm giữ 1 $ARB rồi sau đó DAO tạo proposal thì mọi người có thể vote, còn nếu proposal được tạo ra rồi mọi người mua token và vote sau đó thì hoàn toàn không thành công)*

Sau khi “Settings” phần Proposal xong, quay lại trang trước và chọn “New proposal” để tiến hành tạo proposal vote

![](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/KeJQwXU9csP0rF5VeUABk.png)

Sau khi nhấn “New proposal”, tiếp tục điền “Title” và “Description” và nhấn “Continue”

Hướng dẫn tăng điểm Gitcoin Passport

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!


**About CyberConnect**

[CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/) is a web3 social network that enables developers to create social applications empowering users to own their digital identity, content, connections, and monetization channels.[ Messari](https://link3.to/messari),[ Rarible](https://link3.to/rarible),[ 1inch](https://link3.to/1inch),[ BNB Chain](https://link3.to/bnbchain), along with 2,600 projects and 1.2M users and creators are building long-lasting connections through apps built on CyberConnect.

[Website](https://cyberconnect.me/) | [Docs](https://docs.cyberconnect.me/) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/CyberConnectHQ) | [Discord](https://discord.gg/cyberconnecthq) | [Telegram](https://t.me/CyberConnect)

The rise of social media and the ever-increasing demand for engaging and shareable content have transformed content creation in recent years. While this shift has opened up new opportunities for creators to reach a global audience, it has also introduced various challenges.

For example, today's digital content landscape is largely dominated by a handful of players. These platforms — acting as intermediaries between creators and their audiences — dictate the terms of [content distribution, censorship, and monetization](https://techcrunch.com/2023/10/27/elon-musk-twitter-everything-you-need-to-know/). This centralization of power leaves creators with limited autonomy and control over their work and earnings.

Thus, opaque policies and the tendency to surrender to external pressures often lead to arbitrary removal or restriction of content. This can stifle creativity, limit the free flow of ideas, and hinder creators from reaching their target audience.

As a result, creators often struggle to establish a strong and engaged following, which can have a significant impact on their long-term success. But what if there was an alternative course of action? One that [embraces a decentralized approach](https://cointelegraph.com/news/blockchain-and-nfts-are-changing-the-publishing-industry), shifting power and control back to the creators themselves.

At [Link3](https://link3.to), we believe that the future of content creation is on Web3. And we're ensuring creators, publications and Web3 projects have the tools and resources they need to succeed in this new space. That's why we are building a new era of decentralized content publishing where publishers are empowered, rewarded, and free to express themselves.

So, let's explore how you can use Link3 to take your content creation efforts to the next level.

## **Why Choose Link3?**

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/b90b5e49-9e7f-48ae-850a-ce2664bfec4a/postImageFolder/09d7e8197ddbac81)Link3 recognizes that every piece of content is more than just a fleeting expression; it's an integral expression of your brand voice. Unlike traditional platforms that often relegate creators to passive roles, we have established a creator-centric ecosystem where every piece of content is valued and becomes an integral part of your digital footprint.

This approach has allowed us to prioritize creator autonomy and ownership, empowering you to take complete control of your content creation process and build a strong digital identity around it.

In the traditional environment, you often risk your content being removed or censored. This can be due to various factors, such as violations of [arbitrary community guidelines or decisions by platform moderators](https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-political-scene/what-the-twitter-files-reveal-about-free-speech-and-social-media). Such takedowns can have a devastating impact on your work, potentially erasing your online presence and hindering your ability to reach your target audience.

Our decentralized infrastructure eliminates these risks so that your content is no longer vulnerable to downtime, data breaches, or even outright removal due to policy changes or external pressures. Therefore, you can rest assured that your work remains accessible, preserving its value and impact forever.

Link3 also allows you to tokenize your content and convert it into NFTs. By doing this, you not only establish a deeper connection with your audience by allowing them to collect their favorite piece of content from your work, but you also unlock a more meaningful and lucrative form of content monetization. This approach enables your audience to actively engage with your creative work, deepening a sense of community while offering a novel avenue of revenue generation.

The success of an NFT project isn't solely determined by the quality of the digital artwork or the ingenuity of its underlying technology. It's also fueled by the vibrant and active community that surrounds it. These communities are not simply passive observers cheering from the sidelines. They're the lifeblood of the project, actively shaping its trajectory with their enthusiasm, insights, and unwavering support.

Imagine a bustling marketplace where passionate collectors eagerly await the next big drop, their conversations buzzing with anticipation and analysis. This isn't some fictional scene. It's the reality of NFT communities, where members are not just consumers but also creators. They generate content, provide feedback, and even influence the project's roadmap.

That's why NFT projects often turn to social media platforms to engage with their communities. But while these traditional platforms have their strengths in bringing creators and collectors together and generating buzz, they often fall short in their ability to authentically recognize and reward community engagement.

This gap highlights the need for platforms that empower NFT projects to recognize and reward community engagement in ways that surpass the limitations of traditional social media. At Link3, we help brands get the most out of their community events, enabling them to reward engagement with [NFT badges and crypto incentives](https://link3.to/link3/post/77acdecde8eac55f0a75b9a83b1ded8dfc4025c55a00d53d5db12f83efc45ea9).

So, let's explore how NFT projects can use Link3 events to host online meetups and mint parties to engage and reward their communities.

## Overview of Link3 Events

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/b90b5e49-9e7f-48ae-850a-ce2664bfec4a/postImageFolder/54a1230fa6ddae49)

Link3 Events revolutionizes how you organize your Web3 events, simplifying the process from setup to execution. Whether you're planning an NFT project AMA, a mint party, or a community meetup, Link3’s events feature provides a user-friendly interface that streamlines event management tasks.

The platform equips organizers with valuable insights into event performance, enabling them to track engagement metrics and make data-driven decisions. This way, you can ensure that your events are not only well-attended but also interactive and engaging.

True to the spirit of Web3, Link3 Events incorporates NFTs, SBTs, and crypto rewards to recognize and incentivize attendees. This strategy aligns with the decentralized ethos of Web3, where community members are encouraged and rewarded for their engagement.

**Some of the key features of Link3 events:**

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/b90b5e49-9e7f-48ae-850a-ce2664bfec4a/postImageFolder/a2fcf137e1963c8b)It takes only a few clicks to create a Link3 event. First up, get yourself an ‘org’ profile on the platform. Either create a new Org profile or select the existing one. Set up your event easily with this simple guide:

**1. Create Event Poster**

- Link3 automatically generates a poster based on the information you provide. This ensures a professional and consistent look for all your event communications.

- You have the option to personalize your event poster. Choose from various templates like Standard, Highlight W3ST badge, or highlight guests. Select a background image that best fits your event’s theme. Once you’re satisfied with the design, click ‘Save’ to finalize your poster.

**2. Add Event Information**

- Start by entering the name of your event and choose where the event will take place - either on Discord or X.

- For Discord: Add the Link3 Discord bot to your server to monitor participant activities. Specify which Voice or Stage channel the event will occur in. If the bot isn’t added to a channel in your Discord server, follow the on-screen instructions to set it up.

- For X: Link3 will automatically monitor activities on your X Space. You can select from your organization's upcoming Twitter Spaces, refresh to update the list, or manually paste a link to a Twitter Space.

**3. Schedule Your Event**

- Select the date and time for your event. The system uses your default time zone, but you can change this as needed.

- Set how long your event will last, up to a maximum of 10 hours.

**4. Add Speaker Information**

- Add details about the speakers at your event. You can add multiple speakers to provide attendees with a diverse and enriching experience. Each speaker's Link3 profile will automatically be linked for easy access to their background and work. In cases where a speaker doesn't have a Link3 profile, the system will point to the speaker’s Twitter profile, ensuring attendees have the necessary information about the speakers.

**5. Set Event Discoverability**

- Public: Your event will be visible to everyone on the Explore page.

- Public to My Followers: The event won’t appear on the Explore page but will be visible to your Link3 profile followers under the 'My Following' tab.

- Private: Access to your event will be restricted to those who have the event page link.

## **Optional Event Settings**

You can use additional optional settings that cater to specific aspects of your event. Here’s how you can configure these:

**1. Set the Event Language**

- Choose the primary language that will be used during your event. This helps in setting clear expectations for your attendees and ensures effective communication. Additionally, selecting the appropriate language makes it easier for potential attendees to find your events on the explore page, enhancing discoverability and reach.

**2. Select Topic Tags**

- You have the option to choose up to three topic tags that best describe your event. This is a great way to categorize your event and make it more discoverable to interested participants.

**3. Provide Event Details**

- Here's where you can share what your event is about. Include an agenda or any important highlights that attendees should know. This section is crucial for giving potential attendees a clear understanding of what to expect.

**4. Add an Event Recap (Post-Event)**

- After your event ends, you can add a recap. This could include key takeaways, major announcements, or a summary of what transpired. The recap will be displayed on the event page and is a valuable resource for those who couldn’t attend or wish to revisit the highlights of the event.

## **Web3 Status Token (W3ST) Settings**

**1. Activate W3ST Issuance**

- Toggle the slider button to enable the issuance of the Web3 Status Token (W3ST). Events with W3ST typically see a 65.6% increase in participation compared to those without.

**2. Customize the badge you wish to issue**

- Adjust the letter spacing and add text to the badge.

- Choose the shape, layout, and background for your W3ST badge.

- Click ‘Save’ once you’re satisfied with the design.

**3. Choose Network**

- Currently, the system allows you to choose the blockchain network of your preference for issuing the W3ST.

**4. Set Requirements for Claiming W3ST**

- Determine the minimum participation time required for claiming the token. For example, you might require attendees to stay for at least 15 minutes in the event.

- Optionally, you can require participants to follow your organization’s Link3 profile. This can help in keeping your followers informed about upcoming events.

**5. Deploy Token Contract**

- Once all settings are in place, click ‘Deploy token contract’ to finalize the issuance of your W3ST.
