Decentralized Social Network

[huihzhao]

Main Objectives/Goals:

Innovate on the social network with blockchain technology

• Protect and tokenize user data and contents
• Censorship resistance

  Challenge Description:

  As the Web3 revolution continues to reshape the digital landscape, the emergence of SocialFi represents a pivotal moment where social media and decentralized financial systems intersect. The decentralized social network should be a crypto native platform that supports various social features such as social graph, messaging, live streaming, and content sharing.

• A social graph maps the relationships and interactions among users on a platform. It represents how individuals are connected through friendships, follows, likes, shares, or comments and can be used to analyze social dynamics, tailor user experiences, or target advertisements.
• The network should also leverage the power of smart contracts, social assets, and product functions on BNB Chain to enable new ways of monetization for content creators and users.
• The network should store its social data on Greenfield, a decentralized storage solution that ensures data sovereignty and privacy.

Hello @huihzhao and team

I hope you're doing well. My team has decided to take on the Decentralized Social Network challenge. Our focus will be on developing core features such as user authentication, social graph management, messaging, and content sharing.

Looking forward to showcasing our progress!

OpenSocial - https://www.opensocial.co/ OpenSocial Protocol, the decentralized social app infrastructure and flagship project of Everest Ventures Group, will announce the building of “Dapp” with the support of BNB. Positioned as a community-owned, Web3 “Reddit-like” forum application, “Dapp” aims to become the #1 social app on Web3, built on top of opBNB, with Web2 user experience. How does it works？

Current Web3 Social apps follow a closed ecosystem model and are monolithic, locking users into proprietary features and formats that limit interoperability, ownership and customization. OSP takes an open and modular approach to enable creators to build community apps their own way, with the features they want, in the format they prefer. Builders save months in engineering efforts too! Read the details here https://gitbook.opensocial.co/technical-architechture

WHAT IS PANJEA: https://panjea.io/

Panjea is a creator-first content network. Designed to support the next generation of influencers, artists and storytellers, it provides the community with a mechanic to retain the value of their contribution to the network - in the $PANJ token.

Utilising a model based on the original nodal network suggested for the internet by Tim Berners Lee, users are free to structure and curate information based on relevancy rather than relying on algorithmic feeds that game attention retaining behaviours to sell advertising impressions.

Creators’ content is exposed in NFT like commoditized units that earn emissions. This gives total control to creators, circumventing biased and opaque algorithms.

Content is stored in two layers: 1) pointer layer for censorship resistance and then 2) distributed layer for redundancy. Content can be moved between storage engines and is indexed by the nodes allowing for a network that is adaptive to evolving requirements.

All linkages between content are stored on-chain and can thus be visualized by any suitable chain exploration tool. Traditional Web2 interactions are supported.

We have a portable version of the smart contracts at design stage which would allow interaction with the network without owning the native token directly. We plan to code and deploy this new smart contract logic to BNB. The system works with various decentralized storage engines and can easily be integrated with more.
