Summary
Speaker A presents the concept of “Echoverse”, a proposed platform aimed at bridging the gap between Web3 protocols and thriving online communities. The core idea revolves around leveraging the existing user bases and engagement of popular social media accounts/influencers to drive adoption and traction for Web3 projects.
The speaker highlights the current challenge many Web3 protocols face - a lack of product-market fit and struggling to attract a critical mass of users. Echoverse aims to solve this by identifying niche but highly engaged communities (e.g. meme accounts with millions of followers) and creating tailored use cases or “mini use cases” that cater to their interests and behaviors.
The proposed approach involves analyzing these communities, understanding their culture and values, and developing Web3 applications or features that resonate with them. This could include leveraging technologies like layer 2 solutions, zkProofs, and on/off-ramp solutions to provide seamless user experiences.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of traction and building a core group of engaged users, drawing inspiration from successful Web3 projects like Pudgy Penguins that cultivated a strong community before transitioning to Web3. Experiments or concrete use cases are not explicitly shared, but the speaker expresses the goal of going live with a use case by the end of the residency.
