The Ownership Economy for Social Media
The problem dapps.co solves
Last year Meta/FB generated $168B in revenue and creators got $2B of it—that's 1.1%. This isn't a partnership; it's a hostage situation.
Today's social platforms extract maximum value while giving creators minimal returns and zero ownership. When 1.2M creators were suddenly demonetized last year, they learned the hard truth—you build on quicksand.
At Dapps.co, we flips this model with a true ownership economy where:
- Creators earn ETH directly for valuable content
- Community builders receive revenue from every transaction
- Users can invest in communities as an asset class
- Everything remains ad-free and tracking-free
- Creators own their audience
Challenges I ran into
-
When 11,000+ users flooded our platform in the first week of mainnet (last week), our infrastructure buckled. We pulled three consecutive all-nighters rebuilding our backend architecture to handle 100x the load we anticipated.
-
We're currently navigating their approval process, which has become our most persistent hurdle(with Apple). We're redesigning critical components while preserving our core decentralization principles.
