Imagine spending years building your audience only to lose it overnight. In 2024, X was banned in Brazil, and Telegram’s CEO was arrested in France. If we rely solely on centralized platforms, we expose ourselves to significant risks. So, what’s wrong with Web2 social media? Check out our recent survey that reveals the top frustrations among traditional social media users 👇🏻 💡 Read our recent article to learn more about the hidden risks of Web2 social media platforms and why adopting decentralized social media is essential.

Onchain credit scores are reimagining how onchain lending works.   Most crypto loans have to be overcollateralized to ensure repayment. To compete with the traditional lending market, #DeFi needs to offer uncollateralized lending options that are comparable to — or better than — those found in traditional finance (TradFi). 🏛 💰 To learn more about how onchain credit scores are freeing up crypto capital, be sure to check out this article that also covers some of the most promising onchain credit scoring solutions. https://lnkd.in/diWj8Spk Onchain author: Kade Almendinger.

As I’m writing this post on a centralized social media platform, the need for decentralized ones may already sound like a redundancy 🤔 However, let’s assume that this publication will go viral (yup, for sure). People will go crazy about my smart ideas, sharp punch lines, and thought-provoking considerations. I’d definitely benefit from it mentally and emotionally, as it will give me some self–assurance about my content work. But it’s not like content creators (also way bigger than me) do their work only for such perks. It’s nice to have the financial aspect included. That’s where the Decentralized SoMe platforms have a very substantial upper hand over their Web2 counterparts. And that’s why, as the Onchain Foundation team, we decided to analyze this exciting niche of the Web3 world from the business perspective. From our freshly baked report, you’ll discover: 💡 The business, social, and even a bit philosophical rationale for DeSoc 💰 Business models of DeSoc networks and apps 🤝 Existing Web2 x Web3 convergences in the social media world 📈 The scenarios in which DeSoc may likely succeed 🛑 The scenarios in which DeSoc will surely fail It’s also a great opportunity to congratulate Onchain People, who worked on both the research and editing & design part of the report. Especially since it’s the first one we launched in a completely refreshed and revamped look (you definitely need to check it!) ✨ Big kudos to Leon Waidmann, Dr. Ananya Shrivastava, Ambreen Khral, Ruth M. Trucks, Veronica Kirin, Kade Almendinger, Chris, Arin Soleymani, Adewale Aloba, Lucas De Melo, Boris Agatić, and Timothy Stevens.
