Mask Network: Injecting Decentralization into Traditional Social Platforms

Redefining the relationship between Web3 and Web2

Unlike other Web3 projects that attempt to rebuild an entirely new ecosystem, Mask Network adopts the approach of “covering rather than overthrowing.” It directly embeds blockchain technology, Decentralization storage, and P2P networks into traditional platforms like Twitter and Facebook, allowing users to enjoy the openness and privacy protection of Web3 within a familiar interface.

Solve the current difficulties of community platforms

Existing social networks face multiple challenges, including a lack of native cross-border payment functionality, high risks of user privacy leakage, fragmented on-chain interaction experiences, and a lack of transparency in platform algorithms and content review. The goal of Mask Network is to allow users to retain their crypto asset support and complete decentralization governance rights without leaving existing platforms.

Core Function Introduction

1. Encrypted messaging
   Users can send PGP or end-to-end encrypted messages on X (formerly Twitter), readable only by specified recipients, completely preventing third-party monitoring or deletion.
2. Community Payment and Asset Management
   Send, raise funds, and trade tokens like ETH, DAI, MASK directly within the post without leaving the platform, integrating protocols like Uniswap and ENS.
3. DAO Governance and On-chain Voting
   Through Snapshot integration, users can immediately participate in governance voting and proposals within a familiar platform, promoting Decentralization.
4. Integration of NFT and Web3 applications
   Support embedding various Web3 mini-applications (DApplet) in posts, such as OpenSea previews, Mirror notes, and NFT auctions, enriching user interaction.

MASK Token and Economic Mechanism

The total supply of MASK tokens is fixed at 100 million, all in circulation. The initial distribution includes community rewards, investors, the core development team, and cooperative funds. Token holders have the right to participate in protocol governance voting, as well as stake to receive transaction fee sharing and community incentives, promoting the long-term stable development of the ecosystem.

In addition, the protocol will use 20% of its revenue to buy back and burn MASK, having already burned over 5 million pieces, helping to maintain the token’s scarcity and value.

Summary

Mask Network, with its unique overlay strategy and technology, successfully brings the decentralization and privacy features of Web3 to existing major social platforms, allowing users to start using decentralized functions without changing their habits. For Web3 newcomers and users seeking low barriers and privacy protection, Mask Network is an important bridge to the future of digital social interaction and economic autonomy.
