It was Thanksgiving week, and we at NKN Headquarters were super thankful for the happy surprise of Clink — Future of Social app launching on NKN and BASE! In their words, Clink is a one of a kind web 3.0 social networking app that “unleash the future of social networking! Dive into a world where influencers and fans forge dynamic connections, build thriving communities, and co-create unparalleled value. Chat with unbeatable security, trade and earn together in an electrifying Web3 and blockchain universe.”In the digital era, social networking has evolved into an integral part of our daily lives. But as we stand at the cusp of a new era with Web 3.0, the future of social networks is poised for a transformative leap. Are we really at the critical junction of the paradigm shift from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 in social networking, focusing on user privacy and data protection? So we chatted with the Clink team to find out more.
A chat with Clink team
Clink is a social networking app that users own their digital presence, both in terms of content they create, as well as the personal brand and equity associated with it. So on a very high level, here are the things you can do in Clink:
Discover new social connections easily, either via direct invitation or through social network account association (for example, Twitter). There are billboards for the newest members, top-ranked members, trending members, and your friend circle.
Chat to earn — you can buy, sell, and hold keys of your friends to earn through meaningful discussions and messaging.
Chat privately and securely — your personal messages to friends and family are all end-to-end encrypted and never stored in the cloud. Nobody outside your chat can read them.
Manage your own BASE blockchain wallet, see current assets and balance, as well as deposit and withdraw.
How does Clink stand out from the other SocialFi apps, such as friend.tech, New Bitcoin City, and Tomo.inc?
We realized that this SocialFi area is heating up a bit, chuckles. And we have a few aces up our sleeves:
Get in early and earn: like most DeFi and SoFi projects, the early birds get the worm. Clink is still super early, and there are tons of potential for growth.
Start small, aim big: Clink supports 1/1000 of a key, so you can hold a small portion of a high potential key that belongs to a celebrity or famous person.
Safe and Secure: only you have access to the secret key, and nobody else, not even the Clink developers. True local web 3 wallet, your wallet’s secret key is never stored in servers.
Just look, no pressure: you don’t have to link your Twitter account or deposit funds in order to use the app, so you can have a look around first and decide for yourself.
But this space is still so new, we truly believe there will be a lot of growth for all of us.
What is the future roadmap for Clink?
- We got really great feedback from the early adopters of the Clink app, and we found there are tons of things we could add. But since we are a small team, we have to be laser focused on what we do at each stage of the app development.For the short to medium term, we will try to enhance the user experience in bridging multiple web 3 social platforms, and enable asset trading across them.
- Lots of our users are new to the SocialFi space, so they get easily confused if the app is too complicated. We want to keep the app simple and intuitive, and not over-stuffed with millions of features.
Simple and cool, that is our motto.
The Web 3.0 social network is not just a possibility; it is an imperative, a path towards a more connected yet secure, decentralized yet cohesive, digital society. - If you are interested in this future, please try out Clink!
