The Future of Decentralized Social In this panel, we will be joined by Maggie Love, Founder of SheFi, and Stani Kulechov, Founder & CEO of Aave Companies and Lens Protocol. Date: November 15 Time: 10:45 - 11:10 Location: bomontiada Detailed description 👇 Today, social media is an essential part of people's lives as well as an important tool for businesses, creatives and brands. As large web2 platforms make continued sudden shifts and cause disruptions to users, it is more important than ever to own your social identity, relationships and content. We believe that the future of social media will result in less concentrated power in the hands of few companies and give more power to the people. But web3 networks will need to compete effectively with great user experiences for audience share because people have the freedom, choice and control in web3 social. In the future, they won’t be locked into networks. The future is a people powered internet. There is growing interest in decentralized social, which has its infrastructure largely built out and can focus now on creating great user experiences to attract and retain users. Because decentralized social has monetization built-in from the beginning, developers can test early and frequently user enthusiasm for their apps. Lens V2 is moving progressively towards social primitives to allow builders to build fast the networks of their choice or to integrate Lens web3 features into their existing apps of any kind. Join Stani Kulechov, Founder of Lens Protocol, and She-Fi founder, Maggie Love, to discuss what it will take for decentralized social media to reach mass audiences.
