Let's Make Friends, Not FOMO #MFNF

a collectible call-to-action

Web3 is more than number $ go up. We are more than a $ price. And, we are more than a couple of key trades to get access to supposed friend’s in-groups.

Web3 is community. We are tech lovers, freedom fighters, art creators, meme lords, and a whole lot more. We prefer open over closed, humans over corporations, and rights over limits.

Here are some of the latest features for freedom and fun ;)

• Free Collects on Lens

• Farcaster Feed

• Explore safely (spam prevention tools)

New to Firefly? Download the app on the App Store or Google Play.

Free Collects in Lens

The launch was announced with our “Make Friends, Not FOMO” #MFNF campaign.

Collect of any #MFNF post from @fireflyapp on Lens to instantly become a Firefly member and skip our 50k person waitlist.

Did we mention a few have Tamagotchi vibes <3<3<3

Already a Firefly app user? Open up the Lens feed or view anyone’s profile page to jump in on the Lens collect action. For those of you who are longtime crypto users, you’ll love the gasless or signatureless experience on Lens.

Farcaster Feed

Over 3,000 people Welcomed Farcaster to Firefly’s app on Permissionless Day for their “sufficiently decentralized social network”. Anyone can now explore a dedicated activity feed for Farcaster and cast or cross-post at will in our app.

To celebrate the integration, we launched our first collab membership NFT that allowed the 3075 collectors to skip our 50k+ person waitlist and enter the Firefly’s app.

Collectors of this NFT instantly became members of Firefly’s app just like anyone who claimed a Firefly Pass membership. This means there are now two ways to join Firefly’s app:

1. Sign-up for the waitlist to claim a Firefly Pass.

2. Collect any Firefly collab membership NFT with partner communities like Farcaster and our recent “Make Friends, Not FOMO” #MFNF posts on Lens. The time period to collect these NFTs is limited so follow @thefireflyapp on X or @fireflyapp on Lens and Farcaster to never miss a mint.

Explore Safely

From email and tweets to airdrops and Web3 social networks, spam is everywhere.

This is why we’ve upgraded our NFT feeds and user reputation systems to spot fraud and spam before you see it. But we know no spam prevention system is perfect. Report spam or other issues directly in the app.

That’s it tech lovers and freedom fighters. More #MFNF collectible post on Lens to drop soon. Collect to become a Firefly member.

Let’s make more friends, not FOMO.

"In the world, like every in-between, a world of things is located between those who have it in common, just as a table is located between those who sit around it."

——Arendt, H. (1958). The Human Condition

After a few months of building, we are launching Firefly 0.6—a significant product and brand upgrade from our first product thesis in February 2023.

Our goal is to forge a path to Web3 native communities through open, decentralized social networks—and you, the artists, collectors, alpha hunters, and anons that make up the Firefly community.

A Brand Upgrade Rooted in Communities

NFTs are what brought many of us to Web3. And, most NFTs cannot exist with just one pixel—it takes millions. Firefly's brand upgrade is more than just a fresh coat of paint—it represents a deeper transformation and a persona exuding fun and playfulness to you, a Web3 power user. This revitalization has captivated the attention of thousands, resulting in over 30,000 people on the Firefly waitlist.

Web3-first with Lens and Farcaster

Twitter accounts are no longer required to enter Firefly. This is a key step to reducing dependency on any single platform and embracing open Web3 protocols as our foundation. In addition, a few other improvements and newly designed features are brought to this version:

1. Simple Login: Use your Lens identity to access a unified feed with your connections' tweets, Lens posts, Farcaster casts, Mirror publications, DAO governance, and NFT activities - all in one place. Farcaster login capabilities will be launched in a few weeks.

2. Cross-Posting: You can now easily reach all of your friends and followers on Firefly by cross-posting to Twitter and Lens. Cross-posting with Farcaster is coming soon.

3. Customizable Feed Source: By choosing different subscriptions, you can now tailor your own social discovering experience.

4. Cleaner Feeding: Enjoy the simple and clean social experience ever with our improved spam prevention filters.

Firefly Pass NFT

Securing your early access is now simpler than ever with the Firefly Pass NFT, replacing the one-off Invitation Code. The rules for our first batch of allowlist has been announced on Twitter.

Eager to join us but still on the waitlist? Remember, the higher your rank, the greater your chances of gaining eligibility.

There are tons of other ways to get a Firefly Pass. From AMAs to IRL events like FWB Fest, show up at our events and you’ll have a great shot to get your Firefly Pass for the unique social experience. All mint claims for Pass NFT are on Firefly.Land.

Championing Public Forums

Community fragmentation is on the rise with the launch of Threads, Bluesky, and countless other social apps. This is why Firefly’s aggregated social feed emerges as a product of unity. We advocate for the importance of the social graph and the need for social networks to serve as aggregating hubs. We believe open dialogue and collective participation are essential elements in creating a sense of "public" and driving positive change.

A Future Roadmap: Welcoming Open Social Protocols

Looking ahead, we plan on adding open social protocols like ActivityPub into our ecosystem. Today, this means the 4 million+ users of Mastodon (a project heavily supported by Mask Network, the team behind Firefly) will become part of the Firefly community. In the near future, posts from the 100 million Meta users who signed up for Threads would be possibly accessible in the Firefly app too.

Firefly's prospect is clear—to evolve authentically and empower individuals to fully participate in the age of decentralized social networks. With each upgrade and innovation, we strive to create a social platform that embodies the spirit of openness. Come fly with us.

Find Firefly Community:

Twitter | Discord | Website

Every summer fireflies light up the night skies in searching of their community. Venturing into this obscurity, similar to trying out new things, can be intimidating but rewarding when you strike your own path and find your tribe.

As individual surfing in Web3, you fly through the darkness and brave the obscurity every day, you scroll through Twitter to stay on top of the latest news, and hop between NFT marketplaces and social platform like those powered by Lens and Farcaster, in search of the next big thing.

This Web2 → Web3 journey from education to alpha is why we are building Firefly, your mobile home to Web3.

• One Feed for all of Web2 + Web3. From tweets and Lens post to NFT mints and whale 🐋 watching, Firefly has you covered.

• Mobile First. We took everything we learned from the Mask browser extension Web3’ing Twitter and smashed it into Firefly’s mobile app - designed from the ground up to be your mobile home to Web3.

• Web3 Native. Our mission is to power people, not corporations or countries. Building the app around your wallet + identities, your NFTs + tokens, and your DAOs and communities ensures that you OWN your future in Web3. We’ll have lots of only-in-Web3 features too 😉.

Reclaim Your Social Graph 🧩

At our core, Firefly helps you reclaim your social graph—your network of trusted friends and connection built over years of Web2 interactions, shared experiences, and meaningful conversations.

From integrations with hybrid decentralized social protocols, Firefly’s goal is to provide a safe haven where these relationships can be preserved and nurtured on users' own terms, rather than being held captive by centralized platforms.

By harnessing the power of decentralized networks, Firefly aims to ignite a network state movement towards a new social landscape built on transparency, cooperation, and shared values.
