Redefining Social Networking with Decentralization
summary
Claims a working decentralized social account layer called CyberConnect that lets users own their data and social graph via an embedded account + abstract wallet, supports gas fee delegation and cross-chain minting, and already hosts 50+ apps and integrations (Link3 with ~2,700 organizations). Reports roughly 400k MAU earlier and says 1.8M profiles / 500k accounts recently; shows prototypes for music NFTs, verifiable attendance tokens and easier onboarding without MetaMask, and argues these features improve real user portability.
