Exploring Future Social Networks: The Revolutionary Design of Decentralized Relationship Networks

As blockchain technology matures and gains mainstream acceptance, a novel design solution for social networks has garnered global attention - the Decentralized Relationship Network. Built on smart contracts, this network completely redefines our understanding and building of social networks, making each user the center of their own network.

Constructed with Solidity language and the Core blockchain network, the Decentralized Relationship Network uses smart contracts to ensure complete decentralization, eliminating the need for a centralized server. Here's an excerpt of the code showing how the smart contract for a decentralized relationship network might look:

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

interface IDID {
    function getKycHash(address _user) external view returns (bytes32);
}

contract Relationship {
    uint256 public constant BASIC_POINT = 1000;
    // ... Additional constant definitions ...

    IDID public didContract;
    // ... Additional state variables ...
}

At the heart of this innovative design is an "invitation system." Every user is not only a node in the network but also can invite new users to join. Both the inviter and invitee will receive contribution points as an incentive to actively participate and expand their social circles. Interestingly, this system encourages multigenerational collaboration, where the inviter's inviter (or the new user's "grandparent" level user) also gets some contribution points. The implementation of this system in the smart contract could look like the following:

function setInviter(address _inviter) external {
    // ... Requirements and validations ...
    inviteMap[msg.sender] = _inviter;
    contributionPoints[msg.sender] += BASIC_POINT;
    contributionPoints[_inviter] += PARENT_POINT;
    totalPoints += BASIC_POINT + PARENT_POINT;
    // ... Additional points calculation ...
    emit Invited(_inviter, msg.sender);
}

Importantly, our design takes into consideration the requirement for KYC (Know Your Customer). Before inviting a new user, a user must complete the KYC process and store the hash of their information in an IDID contract. Thus, only those users who have completed KYC are eligible to invite new users, ensuring fairness and security of the entire system.

Although our system design is entirely decentralized, we have incorporated the concept of DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) for key functionalities. The DAO has the authority to update the daily reward amount, change DAO address, change the DID contract address, and pause or resume the operation of the contract, ensuring that the network can adapt to a changing environment and continue to run stably. The DAO-related functions in the smart contract could look like this:

modifier onlyDAO() {
    require(msg.sender == dao, "Sender is not the DAO");
    _;
}

function updateDailyReward(uint256 _dailyReward) external onlyDAO {
    dailyReward = _dailyReward;
    emit DailyRewardUpdated(_dailyReward);
}

function updateDAO(address _dao) external onlyDAO {
    require(_dao != address(0x0), "Invalid DAO address");
    dao = _dao;
}

In a nutshell, Decentralized Relationship Networks represent the future of social networks. They incentivize users to actively participate and develop their own networks while ensuring fairness and protecting user privacy. Moreover, through daily rewards calculated by smart contracts, we can motivate users to engage in more activities, such as content creation and community contribution. This not only offers a rich interactive experience for users but also provides a strong impetus for the growth of the entire network.

As a cutting-edge blockchain technology, Decentralized Relationship Networks are pushing social networks to higher standards with its unique value and potential. Let's watch and see how it shapes the future of social networks and creates more possibilities and opportunities.

function updatePendingReward() external {
    // ... Requirements and validations ...
    uint256 rewardAmount = (contributionPoints[msg.sender] * dailyReward) / totalPoints;
    pendingRewards[msg.sender] += rewardAmount;
    totalRewards += rewardAmount;
    lastClaimTime[msg.sender] = block.timestamp;
    emit RewardUpdated(msg.sender, rewardAmount, contributionPoints[msg.sender], totalPoints);
}

This snippet of code reflects how the network handles daily rewards, giving users incentive to participate actively. The reward calculation takes into account each user's contribution points relative to the total points in the network.

Meanwhile, this design can also be integrated with other Decentralized Applications (DApps) or services to expand its functions and application scenarios. Whether it is e-commerce, gaming, education, healthcare, and more, all can leverage Decentralized Relationship Networks to build fairer, more transparent, and more user-valued communities.

The emergence of Decentralized Relationship Networks is undoubtedly a significant leap in the history of social networks. It breaks away from the traditional centralized network model, empowering users to truly own their network and receive deserved rewards. This user-centric design approach will make social networks fairer, more open, and freer, ushering us into a new era of social networking.

As we look forward to this future, Decentralized Relationship Networks are showcasing the immense potential of blockchain technology, leading social networks to a new standard and igniting unprecedented possibilities and opportunities. So, let's watch with anticipation as Decentralized Relationship Networks shape the landscape of social networks in the years to come.
