Introduction

It is no longer a disputed fact that the phenomenon “Web3 social media” or “Decentralized Social (DeSoc)” has come to stay and the CyberConnect decentralized social graph protocol is leading this evolution.

CyberConnect has succeeded and its success has martialed an army of projects to join this initiative aimed at creating a decentralized and secure social media ecosystem that values user privacy and ownership.

Founded by a Silicon Valley-based serial entrepreneurial team in 2021, there are already over 50 projects that are using CyberConnect to build social features for real-world use cases, such as community-owned social networks, marketplaces, content curation, discovery tools, and more.

As of July 2023, the CyberConnect protocol has 1.2M user profiles and 400k monthly active wallets that have conducted more than 14M transactions. Over 2,300 verified organizations, including Arbitrum, DyDx, Rarible, BNB Chain, and CoinMarketCap, created their CyberProfiles to build their web3 native audience. CyberConnect’s flagship social app, Link3, has 940k monthly active users.

A Step Closer to a Brighter Future…

The extensive review of the thriving projects in the CyberConnect ecosystem has revealed the gradual, yet exponential, adoption of Decentralized Social media (DeSoc) and how CyberConnect stands as a catalyst for this adoption.

The above-selected applications demonstrate the importance of decentralized technology in empowering users to truly own and monetize their social profiles, content, and connections.

Assuredly, the CyberConnect ecosystem is at the forefront of revolutionizing the decentralized social media landscape, but the ecosystem will be incomplete without the commitment of enthusiastic founders building innovative projects on the protocol. The growth and success of these projects are crucial to the manifestation of the mission championed by CyberConnect. Impressively, the user-traction and growth metrics garnered indicate a fraction of what is yet to be achieved.

In the future ahead, it is hoped that these projects and the innovative minds behind the CyberConnect ecosystem receive all the needed support and accolades. With all hands on deck, the idea of a decentralized social media and interoperable ecosystem is close in for the kill.
