We’re excited to launch a new experiment today, a web3 social network gated by a soulbound membership NFT: BΞB.xyz. Members who apply and receive a free soulbound BΞB NFT can access our community to connect with other professionals and discuss anything they desire.
Why a professional social network?
There are thousands of web3 professionals excited to network with each other for career discussion, learning new technologies, and to raise capital. BΞB has the potential to accelerate many of our members careers and help web3 startups find talent that is otherwise is fragmented across many existing platforms. We aren’t stopping at soulbound NFTs: we are considering the usage of NFT-gated exclusive groups, peer-to-peer payments and bounties, user-centric DAO governance, and more.
How are soulbound properties enforced?
We enforce the soulbound property by disabling non-zero address from transfers, and our platform requires a BΞB account address to possess the assigned NFT when logged in. Transferring the NFT would require hijacking of the previous identity of the account, which would be detectible by our platform.

Decentralization of BΞB
We are thinking of ways to progressively decentralize our social network over the next decade - in order to get initial product market fit, we’re using web2 tooling for faster iteration until our product is stable.
Next Steps
We have a waitlist for applying for a free BΞB NFT, and will selectively invite members into our alpha. We’re starting small to ensure a quality product while we scale up. You can join our waitlist by visiting beb.xyz.
Cheers to the next decade of web3 social networking!
