jcdenton.ethIndestructible Communities
NFT communities are fragile in todays world: they can be delisted from OpenSea, removed from Discord and Reddit, and censored by web3 data APIs. Every community today hosted in web2 environments is under the thumb of an employee following an internal guideline. We’ve decided to host a community on BΞB with heavy alignment, CryptoPhunks, which has been previously delisted from OpenSea 3 times (and recently verified). Hosting them is an ideal test of a web3 social platform on the mission of cre...

jcdenton.ethPrivate NFT Communities
Our mission at BΞB has been to connect people around a shared interest, and there’s no better way forward than to open up BΞB with private NFT communities. We started with private soulbound communities, and we are now dynamically generating communities around select NFT collections, starting with NF.TD, BlockChainSmokers, and Token Garden. We’re starting small to make sure each community we add to BΞB has alignment with our existing communities. If you want to talk about adding your NFT commu...
Ah, the dreaded Apple review. Let’s go over the common reasons why Apple will reject your web3 social app.
Apple believes that touching a wallet means you are a financial app, which leads to them requiring you to be an organization. There’s no way around this, even if you are just signing messages.
If any of your app functionality is restricted by NFTs, they will ask you to offer in-app purchases. Yes, that means if your core product is token gating for Bored Apes, you will need to do a $100k in-app purchase. There’s no way around this except making your app work without NFTs. Alternatively, all your NFTs need to be cheap and mintable with IAPs.
If you have user-generated content, Apple will require you to have content blocking, reporting, and moderation. This means you have to be like a web2 social app.
If you mention another company in your sign-in, Apple will require you to support “sign-in with Apple”. It’s best to only have email and wallets as your sign-in options.
Apple requires account deletion starting June 30th, which means you need to support easily deleting all user-content with the press of a button. They will not accept “email us to delete your account”, unless you argue legal reasons why (e.g. financial institution).
Hope these tips help on your journey to Apple’s App Store!
Also, check out our web3 social protocol, BEB Domains, that fought for these lessons :)
