Gas fees explained simply
Think of gas fees like paying for fuel when you drive a car. Your car (the transaction) won’t move unless you put in gas (the fee). The busier the road (network congestion), the higher the fuel price. Ethereum works the same way—your transaction moves forward if you’re willing to pay the right fee.
Why decentralization matters
In a centralized world, one company can change rules overnight, censor voices, or lock you out of your account. Decentralization flips that—no single gatekeeper controls your access. It’s not just about freedom, but resilience: communities and ideas can keep living on, even if one platform shuts down.
The future of onchain social
Social media is shifting from platforms owning your posts to you owning your identity and content. Imagine logging in anywhere with your wallet, carrying your followers and data across apps. Onchain social means your digital presence isn’t rented—it’s truly yours.
A “what if” thought
What if every post online was an NFT? Your memes, stories, and even late-night thoughts could live forever onchain, tradeable and provable as yours. It might sound wild, but it could also change how we value even the smallest digital moments.
Quick protocol highlight
Recently, projects like Base, Lens, and Farcaster have been building toward this vision of decentralized social. Each experiment adds a piece to the puzzle—scalability, identity, portability. The progress is early, but the direction is clear: the internet is moving from platforms owning us, to us owning the platforms.
