CyberConnect is a decentralized social graph protocol that helps developers bootstrap network effects and build powerful social dApps while returning data ownership back to users. Through our publicly accessible protocol, we are democratizing social connections and making social graphs self-sovereign, portable, composable, blockchain-agnostic, and contextually meaningful.

⭐️ Top Profiles Spotlight
More Link3 profiles 🚀
Every week, we feature top Link3 users who are using creativity, design, and content to give an extra edge to their profiles. They may or may not be eligible for an exciting surprise 🤫 Last week’s top profiles can be viewed here.

A) Must be included by a verified Link3 project in its Team, Backers, or Contributors section. If your project does not have its profile yet, ask your team to set it up now!
B) Must be followed by a super KOL (according to TwitterScan) or a top 100 users on ethleaderboard.xyz. Read more about the rules here.
Also keep an eye on our community announcements on Twitter, Discord, and the later section below - we have a lot of smaller campaigns ongoing.

💪🏽 New partners
We’re thrilled to add the following new partners to our ecosystem:
Our North American team gathered in Joshua Tree, CA from August 11-15 for a specially curated CyberOffsite. The 5-day gathering was action-packed with extended discussions and workshops on strategy, goal-setting, effective communication, competitive analysis, and more. The team even participated in group yoga classes and sound bath experiences to energize and revitalize ahead of some major updates to our products & protocol in the second half of 2022. We are very grateful to have a team who shares our purpose with a strong conviction.
It’s a great time to be working in Web3. Did you know we’re hiring across the board? We’re calling on mission-driven individuals passionate about web3 to join our engineering, biz dev, community, and marketing teams.
