True social networks don’t:
🌿 Restrict users from following or checking other users, unless they ask for it.
🌿 Censor or ban users for posting legal content.
🌿 Violate users’ privacy.
🌿 Prioritize profit over user safety.
🌿 Aim to monopolize the market.
Some features I´d love to see implemented on Web3 social apps really soon:
🌿 Uploading of a music playlist to one’s profile.
🌿 Embedding, in posts, of video or audio from other Web3 apps.
🌿 End-to-End encrypted messaging.
🌿 Post editing — the new version works like a new post, which automatically removes the older post from any content feed while not deleting it from the database (blockchain, IPFS, …).
Tips on how to earn cryptocurrencies without having to buy them:
💜 Using Web3 social apps that reward users for their engagement and popularity, or where they can define whether others have to pay (crypto) to get access to some of their content — exs: lens.xyz, solcial.io, niche.club (all to be launched soon, in 2022).
💜 Applying for jobs that pay in crypto, or offering your services to Web3 companies.
💜 Cryptocurrency mining or staking, via your computing resources (CPU/GPU) + mining software or digital wallet staking feature, respectively.
💜 Creating and selling digital art on NFT marketplaces — exs of marketplaces can be found on
💜 Publish your blogging articles as series of NFTs using Mirror.xyz (see the ‘collect’ button at the end and top right of this article); People who want to support your work will ‘tip’ you by collecting (buying) your NFT.
💜 Using move-to-earn or play-to-earn Web3 apps that pay you to workout or play games (see ‘SWEAT’ example, below).
NEAR ( https://near.org) will definitely shape the new internet — key points:
🍅 NEAR is a public community-run cloud platform for building scalable dApps (decentralized or Web3 applications) powered by the NEAR Protocol / blockchain. NEAR makes it easy to build on Web3 (as easy as on Web2).
🍅 NEAR Protocol is is a public, sharded, developer-friendly, proof-of-stake, and climate-neutral blockchain — founded by Illia Polosukhin (ex-Google) and Alexander Skidanov (ex-Microsoft).
🍅 Sharding is a database partitioning technique that enables blockchains to process more transactions per second — it is used with the purpose of scalability.
🍅 High speeds, low fees, and blockchain interoperability — ready for explosive growth.
🍅 NEAR wallet ( https://wallet.near.org) — in order to create one for free with a few clicks, you might wanna consider installing and trying the Sweatcoin app introduced on
NEAR Ecosystem:
Besides being on Web3, these are the features I think must exist for music streaming to be successful:
💙 Users are allowed to upload any music to the app, even when they are not the authors of it.
💙 Community-based moderation aims, not to ban users for uploading content from other artists, but to guarantee those tracks display true metadata — their author(s), title, release date, recording label, etc.
💙 When some verified artist uploads content of his own that has been previously uploaded by other user, the artist’s content prevails and the user’s is hidden from the app feeds. Users following that content are notified.
💙 Only audio uploaded by the corresponding verified author can be published as NFT. NFT owners decide whether or not to sell them.
💧This is a Web2 app promoting a healthier lifestyle by rewarding users with ‘money’ / sweatcoins for the steps they take throughout the day (without location tracking).
💧You can use your sweatcoins to buy products online, donate to charities, or exchange for $SWEAT cryptocurrency — all (soon) within the app.
💧 $SWEAT token will be launched this summer on the NEAR blockchain.
💧 MORE INFO (with videos):
NFTs make it possible to sell online classes in a very simple way:
🥑 Unlike current Web2 platforms like udemy, it will be easier to sell single classes, instead of full courses, which means you can start earning sooner.
🥑 You should use marketplaces that allow you to include UNLOCKABLE content in your NFT — What is that? Its any file that only the person who owns the NFT has access to.
🥑 You would sell one class per NFT by including (i) a short preview of the class as the preview of your NFT (accessible to anyone), and (ii) the file of the full class as the UNLOCKABLE content of your NFT.
🥑 Whenever possible, I recommend you do not allow downloading of the UNLOCKABLE content.
🥑 I would create a series of many identical NFTs per class being sold, where buyers wouldn´t be allowed to resell the NFT.
Some Web3 social apps make it easy to sell online content — e.g, https://lens.xyz, https://solcial.io, https://niche.club.
