By enabling any developer or team to build their own recommendation algorithm, the combination of easier to leverage AI primitives, open protocols, and immutable public data are paving the way for a more personalized and superior user experience (UX) for social applications.
With apps like Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram people are stuck with the given recommendation algorithm without any choices or options other than leave the platform if they don't like it.
For instance a lot of changes have happened with the Twitter recommendation algorithm. People have complained that they see a lot more clickbait, but the only other option is just the "Following" feed or to leave.
In theory, because web3 and blockchain data is public, developers and teams could build their own recommendation algorithms. I said "in theory" because in the past this was not really a thing as this type of system did not really exist before.
We're now starting to see some great alternative recommendation algorithms emerge and become available in the @LensProtocol ecosystem, and apps are already starting to pick them up!
Here are a few teams working on this from various angles (not inclusive of all teams):
-
Karma3Labs - Is a ranking and reputation infrastructure using the EigenTrust algorithm. It enables developers to curate a ranking and recommendation system for their apps based on on-chain data.
karma3labs.com -
Whitebox from @kozlovchad - Is an open protocol to consume, develop and collaborate on modular, composable, and transparent algorithms, owned by the developers.
I think of this as something like an NPM for recommendation algorithms
- @madfinance - creating various recommendation algorithms like a suggested follows API + "For You" API and enabling optionally financial mechanisms allowing users to boost themselves
We have a handful more that are also available or being worked on.
Watch this space! It is one of the key differentiators between private, proprietary, and sometimes predatory social networks of the past, and modern social platforms like @LensProtocol
Bring Your Whole Self to the Party with Disco.xyz
gm lens fam 🪩 Disco is your identity for the Metaverse. At Disco, we believe you are the multifaceted center of the party, and so you should be able to own, control, and reflect data about yourself to the world however you choose.
Think of us as your data backpack 🎒, where you can stash your private data in a way that’s owned and controlled by you. Creating your data backpack is similar to building an online profile, with components you can take with you across sites.
Our identities are complex and ever-evolving, and so too should the way we reflect the parts about ourselves in our daily interactions–online and IRL, onchain and offchain. That commitment to expression, fun, and social interaction is what brings us to Lens!
We are here to make sure that you never fill out a form again, that you never go to a concert of your favorite artist without receiving the VIP treatment that you've earned at home, that you never show up to a conference and have to wait in line.
You should be able to control the parts of yourself– or the things you do online– by choosing what you share publicly or what you keep in your backpack for your eyes only.
We’re excited to be here and can’t wait for the Lens community to join us on the dancefloor! Get DIDdy w/ it, collect this post, and claim your data backpack at app.disco.xyz/
🏆 Anyone who collects this post by 6/9 will receive a GM credential in their backpacks! 🏆 #genesispost
