As of April 2023, over one thousand blockchains exist globally, and at least 300 million people worldwide have used blockchain technology directly or indirectly at one point in their lives. These statistics are not all surprising as they confirm the rapid growth and adoption of the blockchain. This is especially true for DeFi, a blockchain application that empowers individuals with greater control over their assets.
However, as blockchain networks begin to cater to more users, scalability and interoperability challenges have become major pain points limiting the complete adoption of the blockchain.
In this article, Match Chain will be introduced, a project with a unique approach to interoperability, scalability, and even user data privacy and control. Keep reading to understand how Match is creating the future of DeFi.
HOW MATCH IS TRANSFORMING DECENTRALIZED TRANSACTIONS
Match Chain is a layer 1 social graph with cosmos-level interoperability powered by the SPoS (Stochastic-clustering Proof-of-Stake) consensus mechanism and operated using a DAO management framework governed by 21 super nodes. The chain is designed to scale through shards that process transactions independently, thus increasing our scalability while maintaining high security.
By leveraging Cosmos’ inter-blockchain communication (IBC) layer, the ecosystem facilitates seamless communication between separate blockchains and provides efficient data and traffic transfer. With this unique design, Match offer a sustainable way of onboarding countless web2 users to web3 without worrying about slow transaction processing and the lack of interoperability between chains. With Match, users can trade tokens across various chains and integrate external dApps with ease.
And there’s more.
The primary goal at Match Chain is to be the universal social graph protocol that helps users gain data sovereignty through its modularity, composability, optimized interoperability, and privacy protection. The platform aims to give users complete control of their social identities using our DID (Decentralized Identifier) and ZKP (Zero-Knowledge Proof) solutions.
Social graphs are mappings of social relationships between individuals and a representation of their interactions with other users on a network. Unlike Web 2, where major social media platforms often take advantage of user graphs by selling them to advertisers, Match gives the control back to the users allowing them to monetize their data if they wish. In addition, users can effortlessly shift their identity with all on-chain history to other platforms without any snags.
Furthermore, users can personalize their experience by enjoying content specific to their interests, such as tokenized videos and music, joining customized trading or gaming platforms, and gaining access to particular tools and products.
With Match as Web3’s social graph, users can enjoy true social networks and analytical platforms that are not just fun and engaging but also monetizable, interoperable, and completely scalable.
Some of the key components used to design social graphs and maintain data privacy at Match are Decentralized Identifiers, the IBC protocol, cross-chain tradeable NFTs, and Zero Knowledge Proof for data privacy.
DIDs are unique identifiers tied to each entity on the Match blockchain. They provide a self-sovereign identity framework, allowing users to control their identity and personal data, authenticate themselves and establish trust in social graph networks without relying on centralized authorities. In addition, the Cosmos interoperable protocol, IBC, is utilized for secure data and asset transfer and connection establishment between different chains, thus expanding the scope and reach of the network.
Furthermore, cross-chain tradeable NFTs represent ownership or proof of specific relationships or attributes. They also enable users to trade or transfer these tokens across different blockchain networks using the ICS-721 standard. Lastly, ZKPs are a powerful tool for maintaining data privacy, as users can now prove the validity of statements or interactions without revealing any unnecessary information.
By combining these components, Match Chain creates a decentralized and privacy-preserving social graph network that is leagues ahead of other blockchains where users have control over their identities, data privacy is ensured through ZKPs, and there is seamless connectivity and data exchange across different blockchain networks.
With this approach, Match fosters a user-centric and secure environment for social interactions in Web3.
WHAT YOU STAND TO GAIN WITH MATCH CHAIN.
There are countless benefits to joining Match. All users on the platform enjoy advanced security, a user-centric environment, and blockchain-based payment options using the platform’s native token, MAT. Moreover, there are more opportunities for monetization and incentivization through the tokenization of social graphs using non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Users can benefit economically from their social graph by creating valuable and tradable social connections while earning from decentralized incentive mechanisms, such as token rewards for specific actions.
In addition, Match increases user engagement and satisfaction by analyzing the social graph data to suggest relevant content, products, or services based on the preferences and behaviors of a user’s social connections. Lastly, users can rely on recommendations, endorsements, or testimonials from their trusted connections to make informed decisions, and this encourages ethical behavior among consumers.
Match Chain is determined to provide users with the best of Web2 and Web3 and a painless onboarding experience. The network is transforming DeFi, and it will serve as the hub where users can connect with others, discover relevant content, collaborate, and pursue social and professional growth while maintaining ownership and control over their data and interactions.
