[Coindesk Exclusive] Zion and the Future of Social Networking in Web5

[Coindesk Exclusive] Zion and the Future of Social Networking in Web5

We’ve got something different for you this week. Coindesk reached out to me a couple of weeks ago to do an article on Zion, the new web5 app. There hasn’t been as much talk surrounding web5 since many of the announcements made over the summer by Dorsey and co, but Zion is making waves.

Since then, we’re finally starting to see builders utilizing web5 primitives, with DIDs and DWNs becoming increasingly relevant and worthy of discussion. In the article I tackle the following questions:

  • What is Zion?

  • What are decentralized identifiers?

  • What are decentralized web nodes?

  • Is Zion similar to Bluesky?

  • What’s next for Zion?

I’m excited for you to read the article, which you can find here.
