The Future of Social Media 1790

Any media is a combination of channel and information. Media uses platform to build the channel to communicate with its audience. An audience chooses the media based on a suitable platform and the information it provides. Traditional media used to control their platforms completely. With the growth of social media, their pages became one of many on the platform. Those platform changes affected income source. Here are the media evolution milestones based on those two determining factors.

The infographic demonstrates the evolution of media platform and revenue source.

Print media

It was a long age of print media dominance. There was no other way to distribute information and to connect with each other, other than through publications in newspapers or magazines. The media brand was influential, and subscribers and advertisers were its income source.

Internet media

The emergence of Internet prompted print media to create their own web pages. While the subscription-based part of their income reduced, their business models didn’t change. Banners and sponsored articles became their main source of revenue.

Social media

The struggle between the media and the platform started with the introduction of social media. Internet media use platform to attract an audience and to lure it to visit their web pages.

This does not align with platform goals.

The biggest asset of social media is user data and user-generated content. Their main source of revenue is highly targeted advertisement. While traditional internet-media also have become an element of the advertising networks, they have to share their revenue with content creators. The targeted ads generate too little revenue, that is also cut by an intermediary. Media just can’t produce high-quality content with this source of income alone.

Meanwhile, social media have demonstrated the influence of individuals.

Next generation media

Closer and more instant interactions have become the main trend developing in the new media. This leads to the growth of messenger-like media and streaming functions. With our friends, we prefer to chat in messengers. To experience more, we go to specialized platforms, which display videos, photos, streams or blog posts.

The influencers are rising and claim their share of income. Traditional social platforms manipulate feeds and content to increase their revenue while authors of good content and active communities receive no support. The new revenue model of social media has to involve direct payments. Let’s dive into the future of media and understand how it will benefit all of us.

Trends

How is social media landscape changing? Major platforms introduce a multitude of ideas and approaches with the ultimate goal – to stay influential and increase revenue.

Money has to be shared

Targeting used to be the goldmine for both advertisers and platforms. Companies just reaped customers who were ready and willing to buy. The art of targeting has become popular and now it is a very sophisticated process, while an audience is an object of interest for many companies. Within the traditional model it is becoming more difficult for brands to stand out there. They need influencers to create engaging stories for the brand audience. A creative approach will be more compelling for advertisers.

Media implements many options such as paywall, subscriptions and micro-payments. Direct payments for the specific content or to the user also become more and more popular.

The infographic shows trends in targeting. The bid competition increases and customer acquisition costs become higher. Companies are trying to target more precisely to reach potential customers. While the customers who are ready to buy attract the most attention, the top of the pipeline stays untreated. Brands can cover them by storytelling through different media, platform, and influencers and make real fans of these customers.

Outstanding content breakthrough

The business model of social platforms affects the content quality too. The requirements for content have become low, it just has to grab attention quickly. The channel has become more important for all the parties of social interactions: if you can attract the audience you can earn, regardless of the content quality.

Nowadays social media and other web sites are flooded with low-quality content. Platforms apply different approaches to handle it: moderators, AI, censorship. For example, YouTube introduces manual moderation and additional requirements for partnered channels. Huffington Post announced it will no longer work with contributors on its U.S. site.

The best way to identify quality content is to let users pay for it directly. Experts, educators, and outstanding showmen would thrive eventually.

People build trust

Don’t forget the reason why we all gather here: to communicate openly with someone we like. Social media platforms want us to stay more on their pages and to click adds. For example, Facebook applies algorithms to make people stay longer there, at the same time audience engagement decreases. Facebook has become less social, more media: we scroll feed looking for stories, entertainment and news, and don’t spend the time to comment, like or share.

The personal interactions move to other mediums, such as messengers and streams. Influencers gather people in communities and use group chats, streams, and comments. Communities motivate people to interact, rather than be merely informed.  Information, news, memes, and other content spread very fast across communities, while algorithms address long-term processes.

The new business model

While most traditional networks and media are trying to catch some new trends, the new business model arises. It is that pivotal moment when media just can’t use additional attributes to stay on the top. The new model would not complement traditional platforms, it substitutes them as they don’t change their primary source of revenue based on targeting ads.

The social network, which wins the future, has to combine new business model, new technologies and the new type of content which attracts the young audience. Young people change their preferences fast. Currently, the most popular global social network is just number four in their top and tends to become even less popular. And this list is changing continuously.

Let’s take a closer look at the new business model of media and the example that illustrates it. Monoreto is the social platform which brings together all trends and illustrates the upcoming model. This platform is based exactly on the new principle – direct payments to support excellent content creators.

The core of the platform is content, personal communications, and instant feedback. The platform allows to easily launch live broadcasts, create stories with photos and 10-second videos with overlaid text, and publish different types of content including photo and video.

Influencer: produces content and interact with users. Tells a brand’s story.

Direct donations are the basis of the new model

The donation model of Monoreto implements blockchain technology. The minimum transaction is equal to 5 cents in Monoreto tokens (or more, up to donator), which users transfer with their likes.

There are several reasons why users already donate and will continue to do so:

They want to interact with a public person and to attract attention. During live streams donations have become a very popular way to interact with a broadcaster, to ask him to say or do something. This kind of interactions with influencer become a valuable experience.

Gamification: there are a plenty of ways to turn gratitude into entertainment. In Monoreto these are quizzes, lotteries, and competitions. For example, a world-famous sportsman is able to publish a post and announce that top 3 active donors to the post will get the opportunity to meet him (for dinner, at a training club, etc.)  Millions of followers and fans crave to win the prize. The media easily and transparently conveys the procedure, and winners will gain recognition by everyone and will get their moment of glory.

They also want to be stars, so they explore the platform, interact with influencers and gradually become more active and start to donate. Donations help to stand out for users and even for brands, because accounts who “donate” likes promote their posts in the newsfeed. Brands are encouraged to tell their stories directly to the audience. By liking quality content of other users, a business account climbs upwards on Monoreto’s smart feed and gives information to potential consumers through their content. A business owner thereby gets a real return on advertising investment and his money ends up going to his favorite photographer, blogger, actor, or even another business he decides to support instead of some advertising intermediary.

Find out more at the Monoreto Telegram Channel here.

Monoreto demonstrates a new vision for the social platform model. While the amount of content increases overwhelmingly, it is very important to highlight the best of it and put it on display. The platform distributes revenue from both users and advertisers directly to the content authors. Their motivation to create and form active communities increases. The social platform of the new generation benefits all parties: users, authors, and advertisers. The changes promise to be disruptive.

MyStonks Launches Industry-Leading On-Chain U.S. Stock-Token Marketplace with 100% Custody Backing 1037

MyStonks.org, a decentralized trading platform, announced the official launch of a fully custody-backed, on-chain U.S. stock token marketplace in the crypto industry. Cryptocurrency users can purchase U.S. stocks on MyStonks. Global asset management giant Fidelity provides custodial services for platform users, with an initial custody asset total of $50 million.

MyStonks has successfully established a complete operational cycle that links U.S. stock assets under Fidelity Custody to the Base blockchain for token minting and burning. Users can initiate purchases of Stonks100 stock tokens on MyStonks by transferring USDC or USDT from their self-custodied crypto wallets. Upon confirmation, MyStonks converts these stablecoins into USD and purchases the corresponding stock shares. These are then tokenized 1:1 into ERC-20 tokens via Base smart contracts. For example, when buying Apple shares, users receive AAPL.M tokens minted by MyStonks.org, representing the exact number of shares held. Token pricing utilizes Chainlink oracles.

If users wish to redeem their stock tokens, they can initiate a sell request for AAPL.M or other supported assets directly from their wallets. MyStonks will then convert the tokens back into stablecoins and burn the equivalent tokens in a 1:1 ratio.

To ensure the security of user assets, MyStonks has partnered with Fidelity, which provides custody services (Fidelity Custody) for platform users’ U.S. stock holdings.

According to a custodial statement dated April 29, 2025, Fidelity Custody holds over $50 million in U.S. equities ($50,473,199.00) on behalf of MyStonks Holding Limited. The initial batch of 95 tokenized equities includes major names such as AAPL, AMZN, DIS, GOOGL, META, MSFT, NFLX, and NVDA, each of which is mirrored on-chain by its respective token.

A representative from MyStonks explained that when users purchase U.S. stock tokens on the platform, the corresponding stocks are managed by Fidelity Custody, ensuring the authenticity, compliance, and auditability of assets. Through integration with Fidelity Custody’s infrastructure, MyStonks has achieved a seamless connection between on-chain tokens and off-chain stock assets.

As a trusted institution in TradFi, Fidelity plays a key role in safeguarding asset security and compliance, making it an important partner for MyStonks in the tokenization of stock trading.

Additionally, MyStonks has upgraded its on-chain trading security and user experience. When users initiate buy or sell orders, the platform executes the corresponding operations on the blockchain, including cross-chain asset management, real stock transactions, and the minting or burning of tokens. The entire process is transparent, traceable, and decentralized, enabling users to purchase U.S. stocks in a fully digital and tokenized manner.

All trading operations are governed by smart contracts to ensure immutability and auditability. A Decentralized Identity System (DID) safeguards account uniqueness and prevents fraudulent transactions. Core smart contracts have undergone security audits and are modularly designed to isolate risk. According to MyStonks.org, off-chain fund transfers require multisignature (multisig) wallet authorization to avoid single points of failure. Cross-chain asset movements are executed through audited protocols. Additional protections include a time-lock mechanism for transaction confirmation and HTTPS/HSTS enforcement for frontend encryption.

New user experience upgrades include support for on-chain limit orders, improved wallet connectivity, a refined user account dashboard, and optimized UI layouts.

“The launch of the Stonks100 tokenized U.S. stock marketplace marks an important milestone in our ongoing journey of innovation. As we continue to expand access to tokenized equities, our focus remains on offering secure, professional, and transparent trading infrastructure. We believe MyStonks users and our global community will grow alongside us as we push the boundaries of decentralized finance,” a MyStonks.org representative said.

About MyStonks.org

MyStonks.org is a decentralized crypto asset trading platform born out of a Community Takeover (CTO) effort by the Stonks community. It is an industry-leading platform to offer fully custody-backed, 1:1 tokenized U.S. equities on-chain. MyStonks aims to become the decentralized “NASDAQ” of the crypto world—supporting new token projects and reshaping the DeFi landscape for healthier market growth.

About the Stonks Community

The Stonks community draws inspiration from the GameStop ($GME) movement and the ethos of crypto resistance. The rallying cry: FIGHT! HODL!

Space and Time Launches on Mainnet to Power a New Generation of Data-Driven Crypto Apps 1284

Microsoft-backed Space and Time is the blockchain for ZK-proven data.

Space and Time, the Microsoft-backed blockchain for zero-knowledge (ZK)-proven data, is live on its public, permissionless mainnet.

Space and Time is designed to deliver ZK-proven data to smart contracts to power a new generation of data-driven crypto applications. It indexes data from other major blockchains, including Ethereum, and stores it across a decentralized network of database validators. Developers can access, query ZK-prove and connect this data back to their smart contract using Proof of SQL, Space and Time’s sub-second ZK coprocessor for SQL database queries.

“Prior to Space and Time, onchain applications had no way to query basic user data from a database of blockchain activity without introducing security risks and tampering. In addition, enterprises had no way to securely connect their cloud databases with smart contracts. Today we’re thrilled to announce the mainnet launch of Space and Time, which will empower developers to build sophisticated, data-driven onchain applications secured by cryptographic proofs,” said Scott Dykstra, Contributor #001 at Space and Time.

Smart contracts today can’t natively access historical, cross-chain or offchain data, which limits the complexity of onchain apps. Chainlink pioneered external data access for smart contracts with secure oracles and cross-chain messaging, solving key pieces of the context problem. The next wave of onchain innovation—spanning everything from dynamic financial instruments to data-rich AI agents and tokenized real-world systems—will require a trustless database layer for complex data retrieval. Space and Time enables this with a verifiable, decentralized database network that gives smart contracts the ability to query the full history of Ethereum and beyond.

“Smart contracts need context to make decisions, whether it’s real-time market data, cross-chain messaging or historical onchain activity. Chainlink provides the connective tissue for data to move securely across systems, and Space and Time brings powerful new compute capabilities that complement that vision. Together, we’re pushing the boundaries of what developers can build onchain,” said Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink.

Space and Time was created by MakeInfinite Labs, a frontier protocol research lab that is backed by Microsoft and working alongside major financial institutions. In addition to its work on Space and Time, the firm has developed key technologies to the broader crypto ecosystem, such as Proof of SQL, Blitzar, an Elastic Network ZK Chain for Space and Time, and Chainlink DeFi Yield Index.

“At MakeInfinite Labs, we’re focused on building foundational infrastructure to enable the next generation of crypto applications. Contributing core technologies like Proof of SQL and the original architecture of Space and Time is part of that vision. We’re excited to see the ecosystem take this work forward and unlock new possibilities for verifiable, data-driven applications,” said Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs & Co-Founder of Space and Time.

Space and Time is secured by a decentralized set of validators, and anyone can contribute to the network by providing high-quality datasets, staking or running a validator node.

About Space and Time

Space and Time is the blockchain for ZK-proven data, which enables smart contracts to trustlessly access and compute over data from any chain or source. Powered by Proof of SQL, a sub-second ZK coprocessor, Space and Time empowers developers to build more intelligent, data-rich applications with verifiable data.

About MakeInfinite Labs

MakeInfinite Labs is a frontier protocol research lab contributing to some of the most prominent protocols and ecosystems across crypto, including the creation of Space and Time. MakeInfinite Labs raised $50 million from Microsoft’s M12 Ventures and other leading investors to build the infrastructure that enables developers and creators to build data-driven applications, tokenize and monetize and win in the AI economy.

Introducing AIVM: ChainGPT’s Layer-1 Blockchain to Power Verifiable AI at Scale 1396

ChainGPT, a pioneer in blockchain AI solutions, today announced the release of its highly anticipated AIVM Whitepaper, a comprehensive technical and strategic vision for building the foundation of the AI Crypto Economy. The Artificial Intelligence Virtual Machine (AIVM) is a purpose-built Layer-1 blockchain designed to seamlessly integrate decentralised AI development, compute infrastructure, and monetisation, bringing Web2 and Web3 together under one unified, scalable AI ecosystem.
