Use GPT to help everyone organize the 7 main issues discussed in Space Vitalik this time one ️⃣ Why are you now re following and openly discussing decentralized social networking? Vitalik stated that he has not only recently focused on decentralized social networking, but has continued to use and observe it for many years (such as Farcaster). The reason why Twitter has now become a focus of discussion is twofold: firstly, the quality of discussions on Twitter has significantly declined in multiple areas and is no longer suitable as a global public discussion center; secondly, the maturity of related technologies and products has significantly improved in the past three years, including client experience, protocol design, and overall usability. Therefore, he believes that now is a more realistic time point than in the past. two ️⃣ How does decentralized social networking solve the network effect problem that new platforms find difficult to overcome? Vitalik proposed two paths, one is to share social data and relationships through protocol layers, so that multiple clients can share the same social graph, and the new platform will not face blank user environments; The second is to use a multi client aggregation mode (such as Firefly) to enable users to use decentralized social networking without leaving Twitter, thereby significantly reducing migration costs. three ️⃣ Why is it difficult for most Crypto Social or SocialFi projects to find PMF for a long time? He believes that on the one hand, social products themselves are extremely difficult to break through network effects, and on the other hand, many projects start from "encryption and finance" rather than "social problems themselves", default to solving social problems by introducing tokens or financial mechanisms, resulting in products truly serving traders rather than ordinary users or content quality. four ️⃣ How do you view creator incentives, personal tokens, and SocialFi failures? Vitalik pointed out that the core issue lies in unclear incentive goals: whether to make people who already have a lot of social capital earn more money, or to support high-quality but undiscovered creators; He observed that many individual Token or SocialFi projects ultimately focus their resources on known KOLs or transactional content, without consistently producing high-quality content like Substack. five ️⃣ Can predicting the market become an important direction for decentralized social networking? He believes that predicting the market can serve as a tool to enhance the quality of discussions in social settings, by transforming extreme or controversial assertions into predictive events, using probability to help users understand the likelihood of events happening, and potentially improving error correction mechanisms such as Community Notes, but the premise is that the platform must respect the goal of "helping to understand the real world" rather than turning towards entertainment or gambling. six ️⃣ How do you view the trend of deep integration between social products and wallet functions? Vitalik stated that there is no problem with the direction itself, but it is necessary to maintain the transferability and interoperability of accounts, identities, and assets. He does not want a situation where every wallet forms a closed social network, and even if a built-in wallet is provided, users should be allowed to freely migrate in the future. seven ️⃣ What suggestions do you have for Chinese developers to participate in decentralized applications at this stage? He believes that Chinese developers have significant advantages in user experience and front-end capabilities, and back-end capabilities have significantly improved in recent years. With a large amount of mature infrastructure, there is no need to repeatedly build complex underlying protocols, but rather focus on application layer, client, and interface experience, and create truly user-friendly products based on open protocols.
