Here are some thoughts on the Open Social Graph and how this crypto native approach can rearchitect what once was locked by traditional web2s.
Let's start by breaking the stack down into layers:
- Data
- Social Primitive
- Algorithm
- Front End
Data Layers facilitate the transaction settlement and are an endpoint to content management.
These protocols are indispensable for the correct operability and thus have the status of fat protocols.
Few examples:
- Chain ecosystems - Think of L2s or specific chains created for social interactions. Polygon, DeSo, etc.
- Content storage - Think of decentralized storage options, content management, and privacy wrappers. IPFS, Arweave, Ceramic, Lit, etc.
Social Primitive Layer is the core building blocks. They facilitated interactions commonly known in web2 social apps like follow, posting, etc. It's this linking between the primitives that form the social graph.
These protocols will have the status of OG. Not only they'll carry the network effect value, but also make them defensible from forks and ecosystem growth due to mainstream adoption and non-transferable taken nature.
A few examples include @LensProtocol @desoprotocol and @CyberConnectHQ
Algorithm Layer are social modules that enrich the user experience and provide several applications. Think of, suggested content based on X,Y and Z, search capabilities, crowdfunding, ad showcasing, etc.
Algorithms are, though, tight to the frontend as the data is defined by the UI/UX of the dApp. This dependency makes them less defensible in the short term and transforms them into a public good/commodity.
A great example could be the reputation module we created for Lens https://twitter.com/LensProtocol/status/1509220707103875086
Front End Layer is the visible code for social graphs. Multiple frontends will be able to the same content from a single profile (NFT). Moreover, the frontend decides on what data they want to display and what algorithms want to use.
Some examples are @MarbelProtocol @lensterxyz
What I'm most excited about? Exploring new monetization models.
While web2 social is tight to the advertisement, solutions like Patreon were already showing a new trend.
With Open Social Protocols, you can incorporate money into each transaction.
Some examples include referrals when RT, staking and sharing upside from a profile, collecting content, crowdsourcing tokens, etc.
There is a lot of uncertainty on what will be the "vampire attack" that takes the most people into the open social graphs or whether the current block space will be enough to provide a smooth experience.
