A decentralized social graph is a network of user connections and interactions stored on a blockchain. Unlike traditional social networks where platforms own user data and connections, a decentralized social graph stores this relationship data on a public, immutable ledger. Users retain ownership and control over their social connections and content, allowing them to carry their identity and network across various applications. This structure promotes censorship resistance and open access to social data.
Context
The concept of a decentralized social graph addresses concerns regarding data ownership, censorship, and platform control prevalent in conventional social media. The current situation sees various projects building protocols that enable users to own their social data and migrate it between applications. A critical future development will be the widespread adoption of these user-centric social graphs, leading to a new era of permissionless and open social interaction.
