Why It Matters
- 01Facebook has 3B+ users partly because of social graph lock-in. Portable social graphs eliminate this lock-in, enabling smaller applications to access distribution previously impossible.
- 02Farcaster's open graph is demonstrating real-world traction: applications built on the protocol access an existing user network without building one.
- 03Composable social graphs enable new application categories: cross-app social layers, reputation aggregation, and interest-graph applications.
- 04The economic value of social graphs is enormous. The entity controlling the open social graph standard will capture significant protocol revenue.
