🌐 What Are Web3 Social Graphs?
A Web3 social graph is a decentralized record of social connections—such as follows, friendships, posts, and interactions—stored on blockchain or decentralized networks. Instead of social data being owned and controlled by platforms like traditional social media, Web3 social graphs allow users to own their social identity and relationships.
In Web2, your followers, content, and reputation are locked inside one app. If the platform shuts down or bans you, everything is lost. Web3 social graphs change this by making social data portable, permissionless, and user-owned.
🔗 How Web3 Social Graphs Work
On-chain identities: Users connect through wallets instead of centralized accounts
Decentralized storage: Social data is stored on-chain or via decentralized networks
Composable design: Multiple apps can read and build on the same social graph
Permission control: Users decide who can access or use their social data
This means one social profile can work across many apps without starting from zero.
🚀 Why Web3 Social Graphs Matter
True ownership of followers and content
No platform lock-in or data monopolies
Censorship resistance
Interoperability across social apps
Fair creator monetization
Creators can move communities freely, while users maintain control over their digital relationships.
🧠 Use Cases
Decentralized social media platforms
Creator monetization and on-chain reputation
DAO and community coordination
Web3 gaming and metaverse social layers
🎯 In Summary
Web3 social graphs turn social media from platform-owned networks into user-owned social layers. They enable a future where identity, followers, and reputation belong to users — not apps.
In Web3, you don’t rebuild your audience.
You take it with you.
