Denver, Co., September 26, 2022, Chainwire

DeSo, a new blockchain backed by Coinbase, Sequoia, and Andreessen Horowitz, has announced its integration with MetaMask. As a result, millions of Ethereum users can now enjoy one-click access to encrypted chain messages and a full set of Twitter-like features.

DeSo’s integration with the leading web3 wallet effectively turns MetaMask into a complete decentralized social network. It also paves the way for DeSo to become the cross-chain social layer for the entire web3.

Founder of DeSo Nader Al-Naji he said: “Existing blockchains cannot store content efficiently. It costs about $50 to store a 200-character Tweet on Ethereum and about fifteen cents to store it on Solana, Avalanche, or Polygon. By contrast, DeSo is a ten-thousandth of a cent, making it the first blockchain capable of disrupting storage-intensive applications such as social media.”

MetaMask users will gain access to gas-free profiling, posting, tracking other users, a fully decentralized chain tracking graph, and much more. Thanks to the integration, a MetaMask user on Compound could send an encrypted message to someone currently on Uniswap and that user would receive the message via DeSo.

Similarly, a user on OpenSea could leave a comment on an NFT and have it appear on other platforms where that NFT is listed as Rarible or SuperRare. This system works even if one user is on the Polygon network and the other is on Ethereum.

Social media today is controlled by a handful of private corporations, but that could change as wallets like MetaMask expand from just handling money to social identity and social interactions. Having gained a foothold in the Ethereum ecosystem, DeSo plans to expand to Solana next by integrating with the Phantom wallet.
