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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Recap: Connected 2023, A Web3 Social Hackathon by BNB Chain and CyberConnect

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

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

​

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

​

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

​

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

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

​

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

​

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

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

​

​

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

​

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

​

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

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

​

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

​

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

​

**The “lego effects” of GameFi**

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

​

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

​

**What’s next for Game Space?**

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

​

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

​

**About Game Space**

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

With [Free Testnet Bridge](http://freetestnetbridge.com/), ZetaChain provides a free, open marketplace to acquire and convert any test asset for your project development. For example, if you have Polygon Mumbai MATIC, or even test BTC on Bitcoin, you can swap it for any other test asset such as gETH, tBNB, tMATIC, tBTC, tKLAY, Etc. — all in a single step.\n\nWe launched [Free Testnet Bridge](http://freetestnetbridge.com/) in response to an an unfortunate trend this past week of new solutions that require users to pay real ETH for gETH. While such solutions offer a new way to get scarce testnet assets such as gETH, they also assign real-world value to gETH, thereby contradicting the definition of a testnet token. At ZetaChain, we believe developers should not need to pay real value for test assets.\n\nWe're proud to not only provide an alternative, free way for developers to get gETH, but also a powerful omnichain swap marketplace for testnet asset trading in general. Whether you're developing on ZetaChain or other chains such as Ethereum, go ahead and leverage [Free Testnet Bridge](http://freetestnetbridge.com/) now. The tool is also available to any developer in our public [#🚰⼁zeta-faucet](https://discord.com/channels/858516330432299008/922357353423175680) Discord channel.\n\n## About ZetaChain\n\nZetaChain is the world's first and only decentralized L1 blockchain with built-in cross-chain interoperability, connecting all blockchains, even non-smart contract chains like Bitcoin and Dogecoin. With ZetaChain's complete Omnichain toolkit, developers can build true omnichain dApps from a single point of logic, and users can access all of their assets, data, and liquidity in a single place, securely.\n\nFollow ZetaChain on Twitter [@zetablockchain](https://twitter.com/zetablockchain) and join the conversation on [Discord](https://discord.gg/zetachain) and [Telegram](https://t.me/zetachainofficial).

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

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

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

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

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


Web3 adoption through on-chain activity

# What is Gabby World?

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

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

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

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

​

# Our vision and value propositions

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

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

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

​

# Key elements in Gabby World

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

## a. Gabby NFT

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

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

## b. Gabby Chat

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

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

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

## c. Gabby Square

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

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

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

AIGC x Web3: How Gabby World Revolutionizes Our Social Network

TypeError

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

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

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

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

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

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

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