Connected 2023, a Web3 social hackathon by decentralized social graph protocol CyberConnect, and BNBChain, the world’s largest blockchain in terms of daily active users, has come to a close and the results are in! With around $50,000 in prizes, and a range of rewards including mentorship, seed funding opportunities, and more, the Connected 2023 demo day saw 57 projects compete for 6 categories of bounties. Ultimately, 23 teams won with Oasis Origin taking home the best overall social dApp prize.
Social graph protocols lie at the center of the upcoming Web3 social revolution. For the next generation of social applications to tap into the unrealized potential of our digital economy ignored by Web2 platforms as well as achieve mainstream adoption, robust and reliable infrastructures are essential. CyberConnect’s decentralized social graph protocol allows users to truly own their social graph, content, monetization channels, and social data while enabling developers to build engaging and personalized social experiences that put users at the center.
Web3 social is a crucial gateway to onboard billions of new users. With permissionless and composable social data infrastructures like CyberConnect, we are one step closer to that future.
