Can we build Web3 Instagram? Our guest today says YES.
Nino is the CPO of Apillon and is working on making the developer experience in crypto simple and fast. He explains in this episode why this is NOT the case today in crypto & web3, what needs to change and how Apillon is creating a complete platform to build your Web3 project quickly and easily.
Their approach to simplify things is based on offering a “unified gateway to Web3 services”.
Right now, if you want to create an app that leverages all the different features of app chains built on Polkadot, it takes a LOT of effort/time and it is complex. Nino explains how Apillon integrates multiple app chains, providing developers with easy-to-use APIs so that it only takes a couple of clicks for them to implement features in their apps such as decentralized storage or hosting and decentralized identities (DiDs).
This might unlock crypto to web2 developers and enterprises with the idea essentially being:
“You get easy access to all these credibly decentralized services that unlock the following benefits…”
A web3 version of Instagram, where you own your own data, credentials and social graph with in-built mechanics to monetize with crypto, might not be a distant figment of our imagination anymore. The technological primitives largely exist now. It is about packaging them up in a way, so that it is easy to develop and entertaining to consume.
What do you think? Will there be a Web3 Instagram? What would it look like? What are your fav projects already working on novel SocialFi apps?
