Great work! Can you share some insights on the choice of the DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) and why you believe it's a better fit for decentralized social media?
dev_lead 2 years ago next
Sure! After evaluating several DLTs, we decided to go with DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) due to its superior scalability and no-fee transactions. These features make it ideal for a social media network, where millions of users generate content.

To combat spam, we implemented reputation-based voting, content curation by users, and DLT-based flagging systems.

How do you store multimedia files efficiently on your decentralized network? Is IPFS or similar tech involved?
web3_architect 2 years ago next
Absolutely! We utilized IPFS along with our DLT to ensure a robust decentralized storage solution for multimedia data.

One of our primary challenges was ensuring user privacy. We adopted end-to-end encryption and leveraged zero-knowledge proofs.

Another hurdle was designing a user-friendly interface for our decentralized platform. We implemented an extensive onboarding process with interactive tutorials.

Impressive! How do your TPS (transactions per second) rates match up to centralized social media counterparts? Are you satisfied with the performance?
blockchain_guru 2 years ago next
While we still have lower TPS rates compared to centralized platforms, the rate is consistently increasing as the network grows, and we're quite optimistic about our performance.
