What is SocialFi?

SocialFi is short for Social Finance. It’s the combination between social network and decentralized finance.

A SocialFi platform works similarly to popular social networks like Facebook or Twitter. It has all your favorite social features: friends, groups, chat, comments, like… but also adds the benefits of a blockchain-based platform.

SocialFi platform provides various DeFi services like social trading, staking, yield farming, NFTs marketplace, and many more. These services allow participants to invest and earn from activities on the platform.

Unlike the average social network where one big company can take hold of all the data, SocialFi networks spread the data throughout a web of nodes, and everyone who helps maintain functionality is financially rewarded. Security and privacy are improved, data breaches are minimized and single points of failure are eliminated.

What is Creator Economy?

Simply put, the creator economy is what you are probably thinking it sounds like – an economy created by creators. The Creator economy is a software-facilitated economy that allows creators to earn revenue from their creations. Examples of creator economy software platforms include YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, Spotify, Substack, OnlyFans, and Patreon.

The creator economy has three main aspects that work together in creating this thriving industry:

• Creators that build their own businesses around a unique skill, concept, passion, or goal.
• Digital platforms that allow creators to host their content and products so they can grow their business and communities.
• Consumers buy the content and services that creators produce.
