What is CyberConnect?
CyberConnect embraces the ideals of DeSoc by placing the reins directly into the hands of creators and their communities. They supply appropriate tools for developers to build innovative apps and provide a platform where content creators can directly interact with their audience without going through an intermediary.
History
Here is a brief overview of CyberConnect’s release history:
CyberConnect V1 was launched in Q3 2021 as a decentralized social graph protocol. It provided developers with a shared data layer to construct their apps.
V2 launched in August 2022. While V1 was tethered to Ethereum, V2 broadened CyberConnect's horizons and welcomed chains like BNB and Polygon. V2 also deployed a hybrid scaling model and provided more smart contract flexibility.
V3 was launched in July 2023, introducing three important upgrades – CyberAccount, CyberGraph, and CyberNetwork, which together abstracts away the network complexities for easier user onboarding and provides experiences that rival web2.
Core principles
Self-Sovereignty: Users own their data and have total control over its use. Developers can access this data only with users’ consent.
Interoperability: Users can access multiple platforms using one social identity and bring along their social data.
Composability: Developers can effortlessly integrate CyberConnect's protocol into their web3 stacks to leverage pre-existing connections between users and its social graph’s network effects for their specific use case..
Programmability: Developers can effortlessly create custom logic for various user actions, such as making profiles and posting. Content creators can also set up paid subscriptions or gated content if they wish to.
Scalability: DeSoc is usually hampered by scalability requirements. Creating new, innovative experiences that match or exceed the user experience in centralized platforms requires tremendous data and resources. CyberConnect’s hybrid scaling solution utilizes off-chain storage to circumvent scalability limitations.
