😎 Greetings Folks!
I welcome everyone on this journey to get started with Cyberconnect.
Today I'll introduce you to Cyberconnect in the simplest way and explain to you enough to get building with it!!
❓ Soo.. what is Cyberconnect?
CyberConnect is a decentralized social network protocol that enables users to truly own and monetize their social data and contents while assisting Web3 applications in establishing network effects.
Cyberconnect consists of two core components - Social Data Network and Interest Graph Engine.
❔ What is Social Data Network?
Users engage with social platforms by first creating their profile, then following content creators, and creating their own content, all of which results in the generation of different types of data which is nothing but Social data network.
🧱 Key Pillars of Social Data Network
1️⃣ Social Graph
Relationships between identities are represented through connections. Social connections include subscribing to a creator, following influencers, and friending your friends. Users will own those connections, and they will be transferable between other platforms.
2️⃣ Decentralized Identity
Using the ERC721 standard, cyberconnect enables users to create on-chain NFT profiles as the foundation for their distributed identities which also ensures self-sovereign identity with maximum composibility.
3️⃣ Monetization
Cyberconnect opens up new opportunities for content providers to control how their work is monetized via blockchain technology. Among them are unfiltered creator-owned monetization channels, on-chain paid subscriptions, gathering content NFTs, etc.
4️⃣ Social Status
Cyberconnect introduces W3ST/Web3 Status Token (content SBT) to enable social status building. Your social standing reflects who you are and, occasionally, what all is accessible to you.
📊 Interest Graph Engine
Indexing system provides insights by indexing data from off-chain platforms like Twitter, decentralized storage lagers, and blockchains that may be applied in various social scenarios. These analytics ranges from gaming behaviors, DAO engagements, social trading signals, and more.
Recommendation platform provides graph-based data analysis and suggestions by converting indexed data into a graph representation. Additionally, a marketplace with token-curated content is created, enabling developers to collaborate to create better models.
🤔 Why do we need Cyberconnect? aka Issues with Web2 Social Graph 😨
It is very challenging for users to switch platforms. For example, A creator puts in a lot of effort for five years to gain 1 million subscribers on his YouTube channel but is not able to gain that much audience on other social platforms!!
There is a lack of trust because of so many scam profiles on LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. Therefore, it's necessary to build up verifiable data, which will transform how we connect with others online because it will make it simpler for us to trust them.
Data is extremely important, and it must be owned. There are many examples of creators spending years setting up their channel on YouTube and then abruptly getting their channel removed or demonetized!!
Why create 100s of accounts with 100s of passwords on different websites when we can have a single decentralized social profile by cyberconnect working for all!
🧐 Potential use cases
By now, you must be thinking about all the cool things you can build with Cyberconnect!! Here are some to get you started 🔥🔥:
- A Social to Earn dApp.
- A NFT or token airdrop system allowing users to airdrop digital assets to their CyberConnect connections.
- A Content Creation platform like decentralized Youtube, Twitter, Tiktok, etc.
- Messaging app with encrypted conversations.
- A discussion platform with a profile system like forums.
- A Credit score system, since credit score is calculated by seeing a person's financial history then think how much more useful would it be to also integrate social history with it! using cyberconnect 🚀.
Link3.to
It is an in-house flagship dApp built on top of Cyberconnect. It allows creators and people to make their verified identity and use it to guide communities, and use it as their personal mini-site. The flagship feature of link3 is that it has an Event planner feature where people can post their upcoming events and award the participants with Web3 Status Token.
🥳 Congrats!
Congratulations! You are now familiar with Cyberconnect. Now go out, interact with communities and build something!! It's important to always appreciate what you have done, no matter how little or big it is.
Pat yourself in the back and take a small break to tell all your friends, share around in communities what you have built and do a tweet!
