Brian Armstrong once asked for "a Web3 version of LinkedIn", calling out Icebreaker.
While Icebreaker does offer a user-owned solution for reputation that will eventually replace traditional networking, Icebreaker is not a social network.
There are plenty of social networks already, with new ones launching every day. The proliferation of social networks and apps has fragmented identities and social graphs. The paradox of increasing connectedness is that it's harder than ever to find people you know and trust.
Icebreaker is a hypernetwork tool that lets you verifiably aggregate your identity and social graph across all your networks.
Have you ever wondered how many total mutual connections you have with someone else, if you knew their whole picture across networks? Who do you know well in common across X, LinkedIn, slack groups, discords, and clubs?
Each social network only shows a part of the picture by design. Networks frequently down-rank content that links to competitors or any other destination, like your personal site.
The established social network business model is to maximize your time on platform. If growing your network means occasionally reaching beyond that platform, your interests are unaligned.
A hypernetwork like Icebreaker, on the other hand, lets you see across social networks, so you can see your trusted mutuals, even when they exist across separate networks.
How many companies are you connected with but don’t know about?
How many great engineers are in your team’s immediate network that you can’t easily see?
Professionals, teams, and companies don’t want another social network to manage.
You want to save time by having your existing networks work better, together. You want to stop missing opportunities that are hidden and fragmented across networks.
A hypernetwork like Icebreaker embraces a simple truth: your network already exists across multiple platforms.
With a hypernetwork, you can finally see it whole.

Just published a new post introducing a construct that we've been building for the last year at @icebreaker: The Hypernetwork It's a prerequisite to reestablishing digital trust and is only recently possible due to advances in zero knowledge and permissionless verifiable computing. https://paragraph.com/@icebreakerlabs/icebreaker-is-a-hypernetwork
