On all three levels, we have had huge moves and achievements recently and will have bigger news coming up.
[Ecosystem/Hackahton]
We just wrapped Connected 2023, a global Web3 Social Hackathon with BNB Chain, with co-sponsors Notifi, Lit, Livepeer, and XMTP. We have around 100 quality teams joined and built with CyberConnect's protocol and the closing demo day on Mar 13 so 57 projects competing $50k bounty prizes. 23 teams have come through as winning projects, with Oasis Origin, Phaver & ReadOn taking the Top3 prizes. Among the participating projects, there are quite some established ones such as Phaver, ReadOn, Quest3, together with smaller innovative new teams, all building engaging features that have real utility and are ready to bring Web3 social to the masses. This is a huge move for the CyberConnect ecosystem and Web3 social at large.

Another recent ecosystem highlight is Phaver announcing their integration with CyberConnect and bringing in 170k Phaver users. For more details: CoinTelegraph PR, Tweet.
[Protocol]
CyberConnect the decentralized social graph protocol has got great momentum recently. 90k UAW DAU, 310k UAW MAU, 350k+ ccProfiles minted and ranked Top 4 on BNB Chain and Top 6 on DappRadar. You can see more protocol stats here on the Dune dashboard (https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberconnect-link3-metrics). CyberConnect also has differentiating design features with hybrid on-chain + off-chain solutions that are best positioned to bring about more scalable social experiences and to the masses. Having our first-party app that has great traction (Link3) is a huge plus as well. Messari did an in-depth report and highlighted some of these differentiators. Resource: Messari Report and Tweet. We could provide more competitive analysis if you are interested. There is more exciting news coming up in the next few weeks, such as our litepaper and our smart contract wallet for seamless onboarding of the mass users.
[Product]
Link3, our first-party social platform dApp built on CyberConnect, has got 1500+ verified organizations joining the network and has helped supercharge 4000+ Web3 native events with W3ST(Web3 Status Token, our SBT standard; currently with 1.9M issued by organizations), auto-raffle, auto-generated poster and analytics features. We recently released the long-form content Post feature with comments/likes/gated collections and also the FanClub loyalty program feature for orgs to implement incentive programs and point systems to better engage with and reward their communities. With 350k+ ccProfile holders and 300k MAU, Link3 is becoming one of the biggest social dApps where the active, everyday, meaningful and decentralized social connections happen between orgs and communities, and among users.
Look out for more ecosystem dApps coming out from the hackathon, we will be sharing more information and stories about them soon. Some featured integrated hackathon projects include but are not limited to Phaver, ReadOn, Clasp, DegenReborn, Debox, & Oasis. Learn more about all the hackathon winning projects here.
A central thread here on all three levels of Ecosystem(Hackathon), Protocol, and Product:
Leveraging scalable infra to bring Web3 social to mass adoption, and to enable dApps to deliver engaging experiences, get traction, and tap into diverse real use cases that go beyond the form of traditional social media.
