We're excited to announce the launch of Relay's new web3 app directory!

Inspired by the ecosystem landscape posts for web3 music and Lens, we created the easiest way to discover quality web3 projects. Go to relay.cc and explore!

On top of finding curated projects, you can also message them. The directory is integrated with Relay’s Receiver chat, enabling messaging to an app’s ENS or Lens handle. This messaging is end-to-end encrypted on the XMTP network, open-source, and also free to implement on any (React) website.

We envision this will be a useful tool for customer support, technical questions, and DAO onboarding. Notably, we will have inbox filters and sorting (based on address tokens and NFTs) to allow a company to more easily respond to inbound messages.

2023 Decentralization

While useful, Relay doesn’t want to be the centralized gatekeeper for apps and their data & links.

We imagine each app card as an NFT, with dynamic and configurable data using Tableland, controlled by community edits in a DAO-like way.

The implementation would be similar to the web of trust anti-phishing project MobyMask. Being able to be 100% sure of the correctness of a company’s ENS name is a requirement, as it is attached to user messaging.

We will also move the website hosting to Arweave, to decentralize the hosting and deployment of the relay.cc website.

Discover

We invite you to explore Relay's directory, learn about the new projects being built, and try out a new app. More projects are being added every week.

If you have an app you’d like to see in the directory, please fill out this request form https://airtable.com/shrO74Gi0jm9C5b6W

If you’d like to connect your company’s ENS to enable messaging, please DM @relay_eth on twitter, or even better, use relay.cc to message relaycc.eth!
