Blockchain explorers like Etherscan and Polygonscan have made strides in transaction transparency. However, as the blockchain ecosystem expands its reach into an ever-widening array of use cases, there’s an essential element that has been conspicuously underdeveloped: blockchain-based communication, a messaging function. In this era of increasing adoption and integration of blockchain into our daily lives, it’s time to build a vital bridge between users and their transactions. After all, for blockchain to seamlessly integrate into our world, it needs to speak our language.

Blockchain explorers have always been the bridge connecting users to their transactions. Yet, traditionally, they’ve offered just a snapshot of a user’s activity, and even that information is hard to read. Otherwise, we use it as no more than a link to validate a transaction. If such explorers are the source of our blockchain interactions, why not use them for every other step in the process?

Enter SocialScan. No longer do we need external platforms to chat about our transactions. Gone are the days of faceless transfers. SocialScan dismantles the barriers of anonymity that once stood tall in the Web3 world, paving the way for a vibrant, interconnected community.

Sent tokens to the wrong address? Message that wallet and come to an agreement. Interested in purchasing an NFT from a particular wallet? Start a conversation. It’s blockchain, humanized.

The engine running this innovation has dual architects. W3W laid down the foundational ‘explorer’ component, ensuring that users could seamlessly monitor transactions. Meanwhile, the Sending Labs brought in the ‘social’ aspect, allowing users to interact, join communities, and truly immerse themselves in the Web3 environment.

SocialScan merges the blockchain with social media elements, using wallet addresses as unique user identifiers. This facilitates genuine Web3 communities with potential token-gated access.

Consider the possibilities:

NFT enthusiasts can trace the story behind a token, engage with collectors, or even negotiate prices on the go.

Gaming aficionados can identify high-value players, analyze player profiles. They can then directly communicate with them through messaging, discuss assets, explore others’ achievements in different games and find mutual interests, forge digital friendships. Players can access token-gated chats of events, share experiences, and stay connected with new friends. Creating and fostering those relationships will also allow GameFi projects to attract more players.

Developers and contract parties can clarify, invoice, and communicate without ever leaving the blockchain environment

In our increasingly digital world, personal connections matter more than ever. SocialScan is not just another platform; it’s a bridge between numbers and narratives, assets and associations.

While tools like Whale Alert provide insight into these large transactions, SocialScan offers an expanded view. Users can track these influential wallets, their NFT and gaming trades, offering a clearer picture of their activities in the crypto world. One can see the categories of NFT holders, i.e. “Whale”, “Blue Chip Holder” “Notable NFT Investor”.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Soon, SocialScan will further blur the lines between transactional and conversational, with a feature that allows in-chat token swaps.

Support isn’t limited either. With compatibility ranging from Ethereum to Polygon, Mantle Network, Linea, and even ZetaChain, SocialScan stands poised to redefine how a multitude of users perceive and interact with blockchain.

As we stand on the brink of this new era, it’s clear: The Web3 community of the future will reside directly at the heart of the blockchain. Projects, coin launches, NFT communities, and marketplaces will all migrate to where they should have been in the first place: the blockchain explorer.

Advertising, marketing agencies, and publications will all be looking for ways to promote and expand their reach here. New industries and use-cases will pop up out of nowhere. Every Public Relations pitch deck will have “SocialScan Community Growth’’ as their top offering. Discord, Telegram and the former Twitter, with the barriers, abstractions, and complications that come from residing at a remove from the source, will all become secondary.

And this evolution was only natural. It was only a matter of time before Web3 stood on its own two feet.

Blockchain explorers are essential developer tools for testing, referencing, and deploying smart contracts while serving as vital user interfaces for transaction validation. With the rise of rollup technology in Ethereum, numerous networks face a choice between costly monopolies and underperforming alternatives. In this landscape, SocialScan shines as a cost-effective, high-performance solution for all blockchains, empowering operators to optimize their developer tool investments.

Recognizing the need for a robust and efficient blockchain explorer to enhance platform performance and deliver a seamless user experience, Mantle Network selected the solution provided by SocialScan. This collaboration has resulted in several notable advantages:

Airdrop campaigns have become an essential tool for promoting projects in the Web3 ecosystem. However, the rise of fraudulent behavior, particularly Sybil attacks, poses a significant challenge for Web3 projects. These attacks involve profit-seeking individuals creating multiple fake identities to exploit airdrops, leading to market crashes and undermining the project’s goals.

Understanding Sybil Attacks

Sybil attacks involve malicious actors creating numerous fake accounts to claim airdrop rewards multiple times, manipulating the system for their own gain. These actors create and control multiple accounts to obtain more tokens, thereby disrupting the intended purpose of airdrops.

Airdrop auditing plays a vital role in mitigating the risks associated with Sybil attacks and ensuring a fair distribution of rewards. It helps project teams protect the integrity of their projects, maintain the trust of their community, and prevent market manipulation caused by fraudulent behavior.

Leveraging AI for Airdrop Auditing

Traditional rule-based systems used for airdrop auditing have limitations in detecting sophisticated bot and Sybil patterns. These systems rely on predefined rules and struggle to adapt to evolving fraudulent tactics, making them less effective in identifying new and emerging fraudulent behaviors.

To overcome the limitations of rule-based systems, W3W offers an AI-powered solution for airdrop auditing. By utilizing advanced AI algorithms, W3W excels in detecting and preventing bot and Sybil behavior, ensuring a level playing field for airdrop participants.

Key Advantages of W3W’s AI Algorithm:

Efficient Resource Allocation: By accurately identifying fraudulent behavior, project teams can optimize the distribution of airdrops, ensuring that genuine users receive the rewards they deserve.

W3W’s AI-powered solution has successfully identified various bot patterns in Web3 airdrop campaigns. Here are three examples:

Pattern #1: Deceptive Funding Wallets

In this case, a group of 1000+ wallets in the same airdrop campaign exhibited suspicious behavior. They made identical fund transfers of the same amount at the same time, using different funding wallets to mask their actions. Among them, more than 500 wallets followed the exact same transaction sequences during a specific timeframe.

Pattern #2: Coordinated Bot Activity

Pattern #3: Cross-Chain Bot Fraud

W3W uncovered a sophisticated form of bot fraud called Cross-Chain Bot Fraud. Multiple bots collaborated across different blockchain networks, executing synchronized operations to deceive and manipulate the system for illicit gains.

With the rise of Web3 and the increasing popularity of airdrops, prioritizing the auditing of these campaigns is crucial to uphold fairness, transparency, and community trust. By embracing AI-powered solutions like W3W, projects can effectively detect and prevent bot and Sybil behavior, ensuring the protection of airdrop assets and maximizing the impact of their marketing budgets. Together, we are creating a Web3 ecosystem that fosters genuine engagement and rewards real participants.

In traditional blockchain systems, the credibility of data sources has always been a critical challenge. To address this complex issue, GasZero partnered with W3W, leveraging its advanced artificial intelligence technology to provide high-quality on-chain data analysis tools for the Credibility Oracle, ensuring data accuracy and trustworthiness.

In this partnership, W3W transformed into the second ecological venture by GasZero, following their inaugural era7 initiative. It now serves as the endorsed service provider for web3 user data insights and operational tools.

Tell us a bit about yourself and your journey in web3.

Hi Web3 world! My name is Eric Chang and I lead the BD and Partnerships side of W3W. My background has always been with traditional web2 B2B SaaS companies, specialized in data analytics and leveraging CRM to manage my customers. Growing up, I was in the prime age of gaming, including, but not limited to, Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Counter-Strike, Maplestory, Dota, and League of Legends. My experience in blockchain and crypto was very limited before our company decided to dive into the space.

When I was still in high school, I was playing one of the largest MMOs, Maplestory, on a private server, and in order to get items in the game, they required you to pay in Bitcoin, which I understood was a digital currency, but I never understood the technology behind it. Fast forward to today, I realize how ignorant I was, not only to the fact that I had traded a handful of bitcoin to get some items in the game, but also what it meant to transact with digital currency.

Today, there is a real problem, not just within gaming, but with the concept of ownership of digital assets, but for all intents and purposes, I will use gaming as the core example.

Why did W3W decide to go into web3 CRM and data analytics?

W3W started as a web2 influencer marketing and ecommerce platform, called Lifo, providing individual creators, artists, and other talents a way to monetize their own platform without selling their souls to a corporate company to promote their products (half kidding on the soul selling part). Nonetheless, this comes back to the initial problem above of ownership. We wanted to provide these individuals with a way to cater to the following they have built where they don’t need to give up their identity through brand deals that don’t coincide with the content they make. A creator friend of mine brought this to my attention where he doesn’t take any brand deals unless it is on brand with his content, and that can be hard to come by.

We had the amazing opportunity to work with retired NBA star, Metta World Peace, previously known as Ron Artest, to create an NFT project surrounding his basketball league that provided utility from the get-go. A lot of NFT projects launch with just the digital asset and the promise of utility later on, but we wanted to do it differently. I won’t go into this too much, but we launched during the height of NFTs and it did pretty well.

After launching Metta’s project and working with hundreds of NFT projects, we realized there was something missing in the space, and that was simply understanding and managing the community. We heard people using Twitter, Discord, spreadsheets and other third-party apps to try to address this, but it was extremely inefficient. Coming from web2, the founding team here at W3W has extensive experience within data analytics and customer relationship management tools, and what better way to manage your community than bringing that concept into web3 in an easy to use, all-in-one platform. There is an insurmountable amount of data out there, and we set out to help projects understand it and grab valuable insights from it.

What is your opinion on the current state of gaming and web3?

I’ll keep this simple and to the point. The gaming industry is a 300+ billion dollar industry, and we’re just scratching the surface when it comes to blockchain gaming. There is obviously the challenge of user adoption when it comes to Web3, whether it’s the plain an simple excuse of “I don’t understand blockchain so I don’t want to touch it” or “I don’t know how to create a wallet, so I’ll just stick to my web2 games”.

I think the main challenge here is the educational part of it. In terms of gamer experience, there is little to no difference between playing a web2 or web3 game, aside from the obvious quality of game given web2 studios have been around for decades. As an MMO gamer, I think we all sometimes get that feeling of “Why am I grinding for so long in this game? What is the end game?” For those who played Diablo 3 when it just came out, the auction house was a great example of the potential of item ownership in a game. Sadly, they took it out pretty quickly as a lot of the community complained about including a Pay2Win feature in an ARPG.

The point here is if we can replicate the experience of “account creation” to “wallet creation”, this will move a huge block in itself. The next obstacle we need to solve is the educational part of it. Most people have this preconceived notion that most blockchain games are “play2earn”, where people just play to earn money, which is definitely not the case.

With Diablo4 releasing a few weeks ago, this brings me back to the whole concept of ownership within the game. You play for hours and hours, but can’t monetize the time you’ve spent grinding to find the best items in the game. This, to me, is the easiest problem to solve with incorporating the web3 component, and this is just scratching the surface of introducing blockchain elements into gaming.

What is your outlook on Web3 as a viable technological infrastructure?

This is something I’ve thought about a lot when we first entered the space of NFTs. I was always that pessimistic one in the group asking “Why would I want to pay to own something digitally, it’s just a JPEG.” Although most NFT projects have fallen through the cracks because they did not follow up on their promises, there are real world use cases for blockchain technology.

Gaming aside, there are some extremely powerful stories surrounding crypto helping impoverished countries. As someone who has worked in finance and banking, it’s extremely difficult to transfer money to another country, especially one without a central banking system, AND it also could take months before the money arrives at its destination. This is just one small example. For anyone who is interested in learning more, you can easily find articles about how crypto has changed the lives of people in third-world countries and why it is important that we invest further into adopting blockchain technology.

In closing, my journey in Web3 has been an incredible experience that has opened my eyes to the vast possibilities of blockchain technology. It’s quite empowering to see how digital ownership can give creators, artists, and gamers more control not only over their digital assets, but also engage directly with their community and fans. Of course, there are challenges along the way, but it’s important for us to bridge the gap and help educate the public of the potential of Web3 — let’s embark on this exciting journey together!

Lifeform, a leading web3 ecosystem project, enables users to create hyper-realistic 3D virtual human avatars easily, using advanced Lifeform DID solutions. Their vision is to bring the next billion users into the web3 revolution.

While Lifeform gained recognition with its innovative Lifeform Cartoon AVATAR, understanding their community’s demographics and engagement levels became crucial for sustained growth. Failing to do so would mean missing out on growth opportunities and failing to meet the evolving needs of their devoted users.

Revolutionary Solution: Powering Growth with Data-Driven Insights

Lifeform recognized the need to understand its community better and sought actionable insights. W3W’s data analytics platform emerged as the ideal choice, offering comprehensive community analysis reports and benchmarking capabilities against similar projects. W3W’s tailored approach provided a range of solutions for Lifeform’s needs:

Customized Reports: W3W created personalized analysis reports, offering a comprehensive overview of community composition, authenticity, and growth trends.

“W3W’s unbiased community analysis report is truly impressive. By analyzing 3 million on-chain active users, we’re able to easily track community performance. And, with insights into wallet holders’ transactions, spending, and assets, we can quickly identify high-value users and reward them with additional tokens. This has led to a boost in community engagement and improved ROI.”

Unlocking the Power of Your Community Insights

In the fast-paced world of web3, where market trends seem to be incredibly unpredictable,  staying ahead of the curve requires innovative strategies fueled by actionable insights. Satoshiverse, a blockchain-enabled universe, recognized the indispensable role of data-driven solutions in their journey towards growth and resilience. We are thrilled to present an exclusive Q&A session with the brilliant minds behind Satoshiverse. Join us as they peel back the curtain and divulge the secrets of how they harness the power of W3W's platform and analytics to gain a profound understanding of their community. Get ready to dive deep into the strategies that have propelled Satoshiverse to new heights, even during the most challenging times. Let’s go!

Tell us a bit about your project! Why did you decide that data is important for you and your community?

The Satoshiverse is an NFT collaboration between premiere metaverse studio Apollo Entertainment and legendary DC and Marvel comic artist and creator of the first NFT comic book, Jose Delbo. The Satoshiverse includes thousands of digital collectibles and a first-of-its-kind blockchain enabled action RPG called Satoshi’s Legions – The Battle For The Outskirts, which is being developed in Unreal Engine 5. The game is currently in community alpha testing for holders of our avatar collections, but is set to release publicly with its open alpha in late 2023.

Analyzing community data helps us identify trends, patterns, and areas for improvement so we can continuously adapt our strategies based on the insights we gain both from our community’s feedback and the data we analyze.

What kind of data do you look for when it comes to marketing campaigns?

When we run a marketing campaign we really want to provide value for our existing community and also introduce new people around the world to what we are building. Therefore, data on participation in our campaigns and subsequent retention of new members within our community is most useful. We want to make sure that new members of our community feel welcome and that we do whatever it takes to help them understand our long term vision.

How has W3W’s data analytics and CRM platform helped you understand more about your community?

W3W’s data analytics has helped us understand what other communities or projects our community members are interested in, which in turn helps us understand the type of content that they like or look for. This helps us make informed decisions towards driving growth and creating a more meaningful and rewarding experience for our community members.

What advice would you give to other projects that haven’t started looking into analytics and understanding more about their community members?

Analytics can provide valuable insights about your community's preferences, behaviors, and engagement patterns. You can use this data to inform your project's direction, content creation, and marketing strategies. Specifically, NFTs provide a valuable connection between a project and its community, as they allow projects to interact and reward their communities in ways not previously possible. When thinking about how to reward your community, analytics can provide useful information such as how many of a particular NFT a collector is holding and how long they have been holding those NFTs for.
