Decentralized Social Media: Is This The Future?

The future of the internet and Web3 is optimistic despite the setbacks. Decentralized social media has the potential to change how we connect with our favorite creators. 

But what is decentralized social media? Is it a completely different concept, or does it build on existing concepts?

They build on the technology of existing social media platforms by using blockchain technology. They use blockchain technology to manage sensitive information and to shift the power from a central authority to the users. 

While complete decentralization, in theory, would be great, in reality, it is not feasible. That’s why it is better to use the blockchain only for certain features. 

Decentralized Social Media: The Benefits

Web3 social platforms use decentralization for certain parts of the application. They store essential information on the blockchain and the rest using traditional methods.

Web3 social platforms have many benefits and possibilities.

User Safety

Traditional social media platforms make money by selling user information to companies. With the use of blockchain technology, users would have better control over their content and, thus, better data privacy. 

Content Suited to the User

Don’t you hate it when you say random posts that push some groups' agenda? It doesn’t even have anything to do with you. 

In decentralized social media, you have control over the content on your feed thanks to open-source algorithms. 

New Monetization

Web3 platforms allow creators to earn from their content. Every piece of content a creator creates is linked to their account, thanks to NFTs. 

They can earn money based on the views and engagement their posts get. They can also sell their NFTs on marketplaces. 

The platform, in turn, earns money from brand collaborations, advertisements, and transaction fees.
