Regional Social Infrastructure

Nader proposes building a decentralized social media infrastructure that allows anyone to build their own social applications on top of a shared content layer. The key innovation is making social media content open and accessible through blockchain technology called DeSo.

Key Points:

• Core Infrastructure:

  • Built a blockchain (DeSo) specifically optimized for social network content and data storage
  • Makes all social content open and accessible to any developer
  • Solves the technical challenge of storing/indexing posts on blockchain

• Decentralized App Development:

  • Over 100 apps already built on the platform
  • Anyone can build new social apps using the shared content
  • Examples of successful apps:
    • DiamondApp.com - More popular than original BitClout
    • Polygram.cc - Focused on NFTs
    • CloutFeed - Mobile application
    • Pulse - Trading focused

• Key Advantages:

  • Faster iteration and innovation through multiple teams building simultaneously
  • Publishers can create specialized feeds with minimal engineering (e.g., ESPN sports feed)
  • Local teams can build region-specific apps optimized for their markets
  • Eliminates centralized control of social media content
  • Lower barrier to entry for new social applications

• Strategy:

  • Focus on providing infrastructure rather than building end-user products
  • Let third-party developers create better user experiences
  • Enable regional customization instead of one-size-fits-all approach
