Overview

Want to understand which web3 social apps people are using and how/for what? So a deep dive into Lens, Farcaster, and anything else you see in that space (2-3 other projects) would be great. Basically, use the products, what's good, what's bad, what in their roadmap (that they talk about publicly on Twitter makes sense), how are people talking about them online, etc.

Other Web3 Social Apps

• Niche
  • Niche is built with NEAR, a layer one blockchain technology that allows Niche to issue ownership tokens to people who join a specific community. It also allows creators, such as artists or writers or musicians, to issue NFTs representing their work, which group members can buy and resell. Since a DAO is a smart contract, the financial tokens created and exchanged on the platform can be structured so that Niche takes small cut of sales.
• Primitives
  • Crypto Wallet based social media that allows wallets to create and share NFTs
• Glass Protocol
  • Video creators can post their own videos as NFTs and decide how to moetize it - the community goes in and decides which videos should ge tput on the platform and the creators will earn directly from fan engagement on the platform.
• BEB
  • web3 social protocol for community domains
• Unlonely
  • OnChain live watchparty - wallets can join in on a daily live stream and the community gets to vote on what videos to watch together
