Bond Social Graph

In today's digital era, most social platforms operate on Web 2.0 infrastructure. While these platforms have revolutionised the way we communicate and share content, they are not without their shortcomings. A predominant issue with Web 2.0 platforms is centralisation. Major corporations own vast amounts of user data, leading to concerns about privacy breaches, censorship, and a lack of ownership of one's digital identity and content. As these platforms evolve, the need for a decentralised, user-centric alternative has become more evident.

Bond seeks to redefine the framework of digital social interactions. Unlike its predecessors, Bond harnesses the robustness and security of blockchain technology. At the heart of this is the decentralised social graph. This concept is essentially a map of the complex web of relationships and interactions among users. But unlike traditional platforms which use centralised databases, Bond's approach is built on a decentralised blockchain.

Each user in the Bond ecosystem is represented by a unique Bond profile NFT (Non-Fungible Token). These NFTs serve as nodes in the social graph, interlinked by various interactions like follows, referrals, and shared content. This setup ensures a transparent, immutable, and user-owned record of social connections, bypassing the need for a centralised overseer.

Furthermore, Bond introduces a reward system, incentivising users to nurture and grow their social networks. By recording interactions on EVM-compatible blockchains, it also guarantees that users' social connections remain verified and resistant to unauthorised alterations.

In essence, Bond with its innovative decentralised social graph, is poised to offer a more secure, transparent, and user-driven alternative to existing social platforms. As it prioritises users' ownership and control over their data, it's paving the way for the next generation of social networking platforms on the internet.
