We're excited to collaborate with @masknetwork to bring XMTP's secure, decentralized messaging infrastructure to the Mask, Lens, Orb and Firefly ecosystems. 🧵



This post on SocialFi is worth reflecting on. The first wave of SocialFi prioritised tokens over identity. Quick hype, weak retention. It didn’t fail because of tokens — it failed because tokens became the product 💀 At @masknetwork, we do it differently: Decentralised Social > SocialFi Our approach is deliberate: • Identity as the foundation @web3bio • Infrastructure before speculation @orb_club • Usability beyond crypto-native users @thefireflyapp • Composability for durable social graphs @LC The next wave isn’t “X-to-Earn” — it’s seamless infra + distribution 🚀 Participation that survives without yield? That’s real signal 🔥 That said, rewards will exist, but only in structured campaigns that drive meaningful engagement, not endless token chasing 💎 Social should feel native. Ownership should feel optional. Rewards should support the ecosystem, they don’t run it ⚡ We’re bullish on consumer-grade crypto that meets users where they already are. Identity, utility, coordination — intuitive, accessible, ready for daily use. That's real product. Not hype. Not yield. 🔑




It's a good decision! ENS names and records are a form of state that is central to the Ethereum ecosystem, the state is limited in size and there is high value in it being as accessible as possible from anywhere. It's also a semi-financial application, in the sense that buying and holding ENS names has a cost, and ENS names can become very valuable objects. With the expanded scaling roadmap, Ethereum L1 is the ideal place for these applications. More generally, I expect that the optimal architecture for decentralized identity and social (the general space I see ENS being in) is to have this kind of per-user account and profile data on L1, and to have special-purpose L2s, likely much simpler than full EVMs, to handle user actions (eg. actions on social platforms).


ENSv2 will be deployed exclusively on Ethereum. ens.domains/blog/post/ens-…

Interview with Vitalik and Suji: Why are decentralized social products failing? Where are the opportunities for future breakthroughs? Vitalik analyzed why most decentralized social products have struggled to succeed, pointing to hard-to-break network effects, misaligned incentive structures, and excessive financialization. He emphasized that social products should be redesigned by starting from the problems of social interaction itself, rather than simply layering crypto-financial mechanisms on top. Drawing on cases such as Lens and Farcaster, Suji argued that user migration is inherently slow and phased, requiring centralized and decentralized models to coexist and evolve together. The conversation also expanded to the integration of social protocols with wallets, prediction markets, AI, and community governance. Read more wublock.substack.com/p/interview-wi…
