Web3 Community Platform Console Launches Beta to Fix 'Broken' Social Networks

As Elon Musk's Twitter takeover continues to embattle the social platform, many crypto enthusiasts that initially found a home there are looking for an alternative space to grow their community. Enter Console, a blockchain-based messaging platform that hopes to fix some of the issues that plague other social platforms like spam and misinformation and bring privacy and data ownership centerstage.

Founded by serial entrepreneurs David Leiberman and Chris Castiglione, the platform opened for beta testing on Thursday, calling itself the "evolution of group chat" by integrating Web3 tools that allow for greater collaboration between builders and communities.

"Today social platforms are broken,” said Castiglione. “Console puts the power back into the hands of communities. Users control their identity, and communities can leverage this trust to improve coordination and engagement."

  • An introduction to Composable Culture, what it is and why it matters

    The current landscape of emerging technologies like blockchain, web3, ai-related solutions and others is paving the way for what I see as the rise of composable culture (or modular culture as one of my peers said1). While I have been hinting the concept in my writings before, an explanation of why an there should be an umbrella term, what are it’s characteristics and advantages is needed.

  • Backup your life with the blockchain

    Growing up my family was always moving homes. I've never had somewhere I could really call my own. Like many other people whose families have rented home to home their entire lives, you soon realise how much of a hassle it is to have a lot of belongings. It's why I prefer to throw away a lot of my keepsakes or momentos and while it's nice to be able to look back at something that reminds you of a former time in your life. It soon starts getting impractical. There's no possible way you can hold on to every keepsake you accumulate in your life. You might have visions of sharing some of your favourite memories with your grandkids but most of the time those old drawings, trophies, shirts or whatever other item you find valuable soon get eaten away by the cruel nature of time.
  • Outside is Inside Again

    So, I conducted this non-representative survey on Hey.xyz, wondering what the killer Web3 feature for games is. Not surprisingly, “owning your assets” won. I've been fortunate to work with some respected players in the game design community in the past, helping to define their future strategies and where the future of gaming ecosystems goes. Honestly, this was a major reason why I went full-time into Web3.
