Meet Polkaverse: the First Decentralized Community for Everything Kusama and Polkadot

The internet was originally intended to promote freedom of speech. But in reality, that's not the case.

As tech giants like Facebook, Google, and Twitter rule social media platforms, they leverage their increased authority to censor content, restrict accounts, and ban users who share different views from theirs.

Furthermore, while the community keeps their solutions alive, service providers extract value without paying content creators their rightful rewards.

Subsocial is on a mission to end this status quo with a decentralized and democratic social networking protocol that rewards users for creating awesome content.

And now, we are excited to present Polkaverse, the first decentralized niche community for Polkadot and Kusama fans that launches as the first social dapp of the Subsocial multiverse.

What Is Polkaverse?

Polkaverse leverages Subsocial's decentralized social networking protocol to launch an exclusive hub for all users who love Polkadot and Kusama.

With their communities scattered throughout multiple traditional social media platforms, the followers of the two sister ecosystems have long been struggling with increased censorship, the abundance of irrelevant information, and a lack of a dedicated decentralized platform.

However, this is expected to change now.

With the launch of Polkaverse, Polkadot and Kusama fans can now engage in thoughtful conversations about a wide variety of topics, including the latest updates of the two platforms, the most promising projects within the ecosystem, and the hottest tokens on the market.

All this happens on a decentralized hub powered by Subsocial's robust protocol. As a result, Polkaverse members have complete control over how their data is utilized, and don't have to face the censorship of traditional social media platforms.

What Features Does Polkaverse Provide?

Polkaverse is currently available as a web dapp, which you can access by visiting the project's platform and signing in via your Subsocial account (or Polkadot wallet).

Besides leveraging Subsocial's features, Polkaverse is integrated with Kusama to offer users additional functionalities, such as:

• Access Kusama's on-chain identity module and fill user profile with details, such as name, email, social channels, and website addresses.
• Inspect account roles in the Kusama network (validator, tech committee member, council member, etc.)

However, this is only the start. The project is currently working on expanding its solution with additional features, including:

• Introducing a special post type (with comments and notifications) that allows users to prepare Kusama Treasury proposals out of the box (this feature is being tested right now)
• Integrating an on-chain identity module for Polkadot
• Adding the option for users to see the verification status of accounts (on both Polkaverse and Subsocial)

This Is Only the Beginning

Leveraging Subsocial's decentralized social networking protocol and a democratic community free from irrelevant information and tech giants’ censorship, Polkaverse is a no-brainer for Polkadot and Kusama fans.

However, this is only the beginning.

As anyone is free to create his own dApp on top of Subsocial, more projects will launch soon on top of the Web 3.0 protocol to build the decentralized communities of tomorrow and challenge the overgrowing influence and authority of tech giants.
