Web3go staking product
The web3go team has released a new staking product for carrying out staking activities.
The dashboard has already onboarded parachains like Moonbeam, Oak netowrk and calamari and they’re currently seeking feedback from the Polkadot community.
An Open Communication Layer For Polkadot
Subsocial, a key player in the Polkadot ecosystem, has identified a gap in the currently fragmented and Web2-centric communication methods within the platform. The shortcomings of the current system have led to an over-reliance on applications like Discord and Telegram and have even impacted user engagement with decentralized applications (dapps).
Responding to this, Subsocial has spent the past three months researching the ecosystem’s needs and developing the foundations for Polkadot’s Open Communication Layer. This initiative aims to migrate Web3 communities and their communication onto the blockchain, despite the friction of using such technology.
Subsocial’s proof of concept, Grill.chat, showcases the ease of on-chain communication. Notably, the platform simplifies the onboarding process, with a user’s first message automatically generating an account. Grill.chat bypasses the need for tokens, wallets, or constant transaction signing, thus providing a user experience comparable to Web2.
Importantly, these features are not exclusive to Grill.chat but form the basis for the OpenComm layer. Several projects are already integrating OpenComm-based social features into their applications, including Astar, Kodadot, Moonsama, Zeitgest, Polkassembly, RMRK, Ternoa, and Imbue.
The OpenComm layer aims to democratize governance discussions, with all dialogue taking place on-chain and being accessible to anyone. This approach will enable multiple governance platforms to connect to the OpenComm social layer, allowing users to access all governance discussions, regardless of their UI/UX preference.
Looking forward, the OpenComm layer has the potential to significantly extend beyond governance discussions. From NFT enthusiasts to sports bettors, users across different applications can engage in unified, on-chain discussions. This transparency also allows users to verify the trading history of anyone providing investment advice, enhancing trust and accountability within the ecosystem.
A detailed proposal on OpenComm is expected to go live soon. Subsocial invites feedback and encourages those interested in integrating social features into their dapp to get in touch. You can check out a draft of their proposal here.
