TechFlow news — Recently, Cobo Ventures conducted an in-depth analysis of the SocialFi sector, comprehensively studying and analyzing multiple dimensions including the core differences between Web 3.0 SocialFi and Web 2.0 social products, the underlying infrastructure of Web 3.0, the current ecosystem and developmental limitations of SocialFi built atop this infrastructure, as well as future directions.
Ellaine Xu, VP of Investment & Research at Cobo, stated: "Data is one of the primary means of production in both the present and foreseeable future human society—and also the driving force behind productivity transformation. The biggest difference between Web 3.0 and Web 2.0 lies in how Web 3.0 transforms ownership (and associated rights) of data—the means of production—enabling its decentralized redistribution so that these assets return to actual creators, thereby reconstructing societal modes of production. SocialFi applications precisely represent the convergence of decentralized social interaction and finance. They are poised to be the vanguard in fulfilling Web3.0’s mission of redefining social relationships, capable of breaking platform monopolies, eliminating single points of failure, and creating entirely new business models and product categories within the global digital economy, accelerating our transition into a Web3 future."
