First day on Farcaster! Wanted to share my thoughts on how I think web3 social will look like. It's something we've been thinking a lot at Zapper and seems fitting to post here.

When we think about web3 social, what first pops to mind? The usual reflex is to think about a decentralized Twitter, Discord or Facebook. We tend to all be pretty skeuomorphic when building on a new technology. What was first shown on televisions? Theatre.

It's a very easy trap to fall into. We take existing models and apply them to this new technology. The problem is that we fail to account that the foundation is completely different. That a new foundation allows for completely new and unique products to be built.

I keep thinking of ways to break into this "new social product" territory, away from Twitter, Discord, Telegrams. And I've realized I was thinking about it the wrong way.

The blockchain is a social coordination tool at its core. A token is a social contract between owners. Your on-chain activity is a way for you to broadcast your digital identity.

Should Web3 users have the right to determine which on-chain data to broadcast and which on-chain data to be kept private?

Which on-chain data would you like to be kept private?

I don’t think it’s about keeping on-chain data private, but deciding which data is on-chain vs. which data is off-chain. For example, PII could be signed off-chain data using DIDs and VCs, but definitely shouldn’t be on-chain.
