What is CyberConnect?

CyberConnect is a web3 social network that strives to empower users to own their digital identity, content, connections, and interactions. It provides a platform for developers to create social applications using ERC-4337/Account Abstraction. The latest version, CyberConnect V3, is a set of upgrades to the CyberConnect social network protocol that seeks to usher web3 social into a multi-chain future. It consists of three core components: CyberAccount, an ERC-4337-compatible identity infrastructure; CyberGraph, a censorship-resistant database to record users’ content and social connections; and CyberNetwork, a gas-efficient and scalable network.

How does CyberConnect work?

CyberConnect operates through a suite of smart contracts that collectively represent a user’s self-sovereign digital identity, linking it to their content and social connections. This web3 account infrastructure comprises four key components: Authentication & Authorization, ERC-4337 Compatibility, CyberID, and Organization Account. CyberConnect also introduces CyberGraph, a set of smart contracts that links user identities to their content and social connections, enabling the recording of that rich social data onto multiple EVM-compatible blockchains. CyberGraph’s unique, customizable middleware design seeks to unlock several novel social networking and community-building primitives, including monetization through tokenization.

What are the potential use cases for CyberConnect?

CyberConnect seeks to provide a platform for developers to create decentralized social applications where users own their identities and data. It can be used to build innovative social applications where users can grow their audiences in a fairer, more direct, and decentralized environment. CyberConnect also introduces W3ST (Web3 Status Token), a non-transferrable NFT with an on-chain issuer reference that acts as a digitally verifiable indicator of a user’s status in their community. This can be a powerful instrument for users to find their tribe in web3 and for organizations to recognize their most engaged and loyal supporters.

What is the history of CyberConnect?

CyberConnect has been at the forefront of innovating new web3 social primitives, striving to empower users to maximize the potential of their digital social identities. Over the past year, building upon and expanding CyberConnect V2, the team behind CyberConnect has learned several invaluable lessons to understand the challenges that lie between where we stand as an industry and truly realizing the original purpose, bringing web3 social to a billion+ users globally. CyberConnect V2 incorporated a fundamental upgrade to the original CyberConnect social network protocol that deployed a hybrid (EVM +Arweave) scaling architecture for web3 social applications. This scaling solution enabled dApps in the CyberConnect ecosystem to attract over 1.6M profile sign-ups and enable new content tokenization primitives on networks beyond Ethereum Mainnet.
