32 Years ago, April 30, 1993 — The World Wide Web opened to the public.
That moment sparked something big:
The beginning of social on the internet.

🧠 Web2: The Isolated Social Graph Era (2004–now)
Social platforms took over—Facebook, Instagram, and others.
User-generated content exploded.
But identity, relationships, and data became locked in.
Fun, yes—but also fragmented and controlled.

🔐 Web3: The Ownership + Interoperability Era (2020s →)
Identity becomes portable and onchain (ENS, Farcaster, Lens).
You own your content, your graph, your earnings.
Social graphs are open and composable.
Apps connect. Users move freely.

📈 Where Firefly Fits In
Web3 social is still early.
We’re working to make it feel more connected and usable:

✅ Cross-platform posting (X / Farcaster / Lens)
✅ Wallet integration
✅ Incentivized engagement (Tips, Lucky Drops)
✅ Built-in SocialFi: swaps, token profiles, project discovery
✅ Universal search across users, tokens, NFTs, and channels

Not perfect—still building.

📜 Web1: The Read-Only Era (1990s–early 2000s)
The internet was mostly static—blogs, forums, personal sites.
You could read, but rarely interact.
Identity was anonymous, decentralized, and simple.
