Polkadot, a leading interoperability blockchain network, has collaborated on the first implementation of Project Liberty’s Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP).
According to a press release, Project Liberty will use Polkadot’s technology to increase acceptance of their DSNP.
Project Liberty, also known as the DSNP, is a project aimed at creating a more egalitarian and user-friendly internet technological infrastructure. The project uses blockchain technology to democratize social media data, giving consumers control over how their information is used.
This latest collaboration with Polkadot is aimed at making the protocol a vital social layer for the internet’s next generation.
Its goal is to provide billions of internet users with high-performance, low-cost decentralized social networking. Polkadot and Project Liberty share similar ideals and principles, which explains their eagerness to collaborate.
Braxton Woodham, the author of DSNP, pointed out that Polkadot had a unique design that would facilitate large-scale deployment of the protocol. Polkadot’s economics are also strong enough to provide “sustainable alternatives to today’s surveillance economy-driven business models,” according to him.
Gavin Wood, the founder of Polkadot, stated:
“Web 3.0 needs a universally accessible social graph to be successful, as the Web 2.0 social giants currently have absolute control over what users can say or do on their platforms. Project Liberty and the DSNP protocol present a clear path toward providing this crucial service. We are excited to work with partners who share our vision, and values, and hope that others will join in our efforts to create a fairer foundation for the internet.”
