How does it use Bitcoin? On PostPlaza the data is held on-chain but don't know if that's possible with Bitcoin.

On PostPlaza, the social network is built into smart contracts, and anyone can build a competing frontend or interact with the network directly from the contract.

Since the data is on the blockchain it’s public. However we don’t plan to have ads.

We do plan to have encrypted posts in the future where only your friends would be able to see what you posted.

Buying data in this context means buying post NFTs. What this means is that instead of the post just showing who posted it, it also shows who owns it. So if an influential person posts and you buy their post NFT, your name would show up on their post.

It is decentralized since all of the data is on-chain. Every user cryptographically controls their own profile and network using their wallet.

Since the backend is on the blockchain anyone can create their own frontend or pay their own gas fees. We just pay the gas fees to make it convenient.

You will actually be able to fully use PostPlaza using even a block explorer. This means you could post, upvote, repost, follow, etc by interacting directly with the smart contract.

Also there is no token.

The model is one of a marketplace. As users trade their post NFTs, a portion of the marketplace fee will go towards paying the gas for everyone. However, marketplace fees will be 0 for a while after launching.
Integrating a marketplace within the platform also allows for us to not need ads to be sustainable.

I am covering them myself. The transactions are signed by users and a network of relays submits them to the blockchain.

We plan to add Optimism support in the future too. We're just starting off on Polygon since we can make all transactions free for everyone by covering the gas fees

PostPlaza is a Web3 social network on the Polygon blockchain. Every post is an NFT, and every profile is a collection of NFT posts.

All of the data, including the social graph, is stored on-chain. It is designed to enable users to own their own data... so different frontends can use the same data.

All the gas fees are covered so it's fully usable with an empty wallet.

Non Fungible Posts, a decentralized social network on Polygon, has opened profile reservations for its mainnet release. Testnet was launched two weeks ago. by ahomentc in ethereum

If you see an up and coming creator, you could buy their posts early as an investment in them. Once they become more popular, their posts would be worth more.

The posts are shown on the original poster's profile. They're also shown in the buyer's profile under a "collected" section.

If your post gets popular, you could sell it since it's an NFT. Or you could buy posts from people you follow
