This means they can be free from censorship and gain new ways to monetize that have never been possible before.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>For example, posts on Diamond can be minted as NFTs, can earn crypto tips, and much more. Creators on Diamond can very easily launch social tokens that allow their followers to invest in their success. All with an onboarding that is as easy as creating an account on a web2 platform like Instagram.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Diamond\u2019s choice to use the DeSo blockchain for hosting all of its content showcases DeSo\u2019s unique strength in content storage. \u201cExisting blockchains cannot store content efficiently,\u201d says <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/nader-al-naji-86b14a3a\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><u>Nader Al-Naji<\/u><\/a>, the founder of DeSo. \u201cIt costs about $50 to store a 200-character Tweet on Ethereum, and about fifteen cents to store it on Solana, Avalanche, or Polygon. In contrast, DeSo is one ten-thousandth of a cent, making it the first blockchain capable of disrupting storage-heavy applications like social, blogging, and even marketplaces,\u201d he says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coincheckup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/test_1664914929GjgOvokSi1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>In addition, Diamond\u2019s integration of the DeSo wallet makes it possible to onboard Ethereum\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>users as well as mainstream users. \u201cThe DeSo wallet supports both a one-click Google login and a one-click MetaMask login,\u201d says Al-Naji. \u201cIt\u2019s not our goal to be tied to a single chain, or really any chain. We just want to allow people to connect with each other no matter what ecosystem they\u2019re a part of. DeSo is the unified social layer for all of web3,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>This is the latest in a recent string of successes for DeSo.

It has also been experiencing a recent surge in user numbers.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In a world where many are dissatisfied with traditional social media, Diamond and DeSo offer a decentralized solution that can finally compete with web2 juggernauts. \u201cDeSo is the first and only blockchain that allows developers to build social apps where you can\u2019t even tell you\u2019re on a blockchain,\u201d says Al-Naji. \u201cThat means, for the first time, we have a shot at finally expanding web3 from disrupting finance to disrupting the trillion-dollar social media industry.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><b>About DeSo Foundation<\/b><\/p>\n<p>DeSo is a new layer-1 blockchain built from the ground up to decentralize social media and scale storage-heavy applications to billions of users.
