Social Layer is a modular social protocol to record and programme social interactions, relations and trust for decentralized society.

Social Layer is an on-chain protocol for fostering decentralized society. It enables the discovery, utilization, circulation, and composition of social capital and represents social identities across communities in different contexts.

This protocol defines general DID access standards, social token attributes and metadata standards, as well as the standards for merging internal tokens within the protocol and wrapping external tokens within the protocol, enabling support for communities to define their own tech Infrastructure.

The product prototype built upon this protocol is user-friendly, allowing community members to effortlessly define, send, and receive tokens without the need for coding. This facilitates the convenient recording of personal achievements within the community and exchanging corresponding incentives.

Mission

We are building an open, decentralized, permissionless, programmable social value network to enable general public to create and exchange their own values and meanings that matter to them and connect them. We believe this will give rise to a web3 network of trust for societal collaboration and coordination.

Why Social Token Important?

How to define a reciprocal value system? In years of community living and practice, we've discovered that the sustainability of many communities is not solely dependent, or even not dependent at all, on the community's economic capital. Instead, it is more about trust, reciprocity, community culture, emotions, and so on. Within communities, we are more inclined to enhance mutual understanding and reciprocity with others through collaboration, sharing, and initiating activities.

How we Approach?

For two years now, we have been iterating the DApp to match the real needs of our users as we provide this infrastructure to the community. At the same time our protocols have iterated and evolved in the process.

Building For Communities

We provide community infrastructure to those communities that share our philosophy, aiming to summarise the experience of community building through practice and support more communities with public goods.

A key feature of Social Layer is its modularity. It allows individual communities, like those in Zuzalu, to establish their own institutions and governance models using our modules. These modules enable communities to define membership criteria, event creation, voting processes, and badge issuance. This system replaces traditional, rigid whitelist systems with a more fluid and inclusive approach, using badges to signify varying capabilities and roles within a community.

The Mu

Coordinate community members to initiate and participate in community events.

The Mu is a dev community, solving real-world problems using blockchain and cryptography. During the Mu Chiangmai, the mu team try to coordinate community events in different venue in Chingmai, and encourage everyone to host their events.

Infrastructure for Network States

To foster pluralitic society, we build modules to enable communities to define membership criteria, event creation. We provide integration module for different DID，includeing Zupass, SeeDAO SNS.

Gamification in Community Building

Shanhai Woo is a Pop-up Community. We had one month of experiment in northern part of China during August, for around 100 people, themed around crypto, AI and the life of creators. We build a game to encourage people to share their idea and listen to other.

WAMOTOPIA

https://wamotopia.love/

From gobal to local, within communities.

WAMOTOPIA is a cultural exchange event spanning two weeks in Chiang Mai. It's a gathering point for the Web3 community and digital nomads, designed to foster innovation, collaboration, and collective shaping of the future. To enhance exploration of the local scene and facilitate connections, we have developed WAMO GAME, which employs gamification to encourage engagement and interaction.
