UXLINK is becoming an important infrastructure in the Web3 ecosystem

Recently, the Web3 social infrastructure project UXLINK officially announced collaborations with multiple AI and GameFi projects, including over ten projects such as Bubble AI, 1Gen Labs, Pond, MetaCene, BacGames, Space Nation, and EarlyBird3. They also launched the "UXLINK Social Ecosystem Alliance," empowering the initiation and development of ecological projects through its unique data value. Recently, we had in-depth discussions with the UXLINK community to explore how it has become an important and irreplaceable infrastructure project in the Web3 ecosystem.

1. In the blockchain field, infrastructure projects usually refer to chains. Why is UXLINK also referred to as infrastructure?

In the blockchain field, besides public chains or L2 being called infrastructure projects, there are also infrastructure projects that handle core data, such as Alchemy, which provides API and RPC services, Filecoin, which offers data storage and indexing services, and Chainlink, which provides data stream queries and oracles. These types of infrastructure, compared to public chains, provide more specific foundational services to developers based on the storage and computing capabilities offered by public chains.

UXLINK is an infrastructure that processes user social relationship data and serves as the digital identity of WEB3 users.

UXLINK also plans to develop the Social Liquidity Chain to address issues related to the flow and staking of social data assets.

2. What problems does UXLINK's infrastructure solve? How is it different from other social infrastructure?

Currently, UXLINK mainly provides protocols and data services to help developers focus on business innovation in AI, gaming, and other user services. UXLINK offers API/SDK services for developers to authenticate user digital identities (UXLINK Account Auth), access user social graph data, and index on-chain asset data.

Currently, UXLINK has two core protocols:

The RWS protocol primarily addresses the issue of social graphs among acquaintances, helping developers achieve better recommendations and growth.

The AWC protocol mainly addresses the relationship between on-chain identities and assets, enabling developers to better understand users and assist AI models in behavior analysis and recommendations.

Unlike other social infrastructure projects that primarily focus on unidirectional following relationships, UXLINK emphasizes bidirectional, acquaintance-based social relationships, similar to the structural differences between Weibo and WeChat. UXLINK constructs a social relationship network based on real-world acquaintances.

3. UXLINK has both applications and infrastructure. Which part is the focus? How do the two balance?

In the social track, applications and infrastructure have a strong symbiotic and promoting relationship. Applications contribute data to the infrastructure and provide user-facing usage scenarios. The infrastructure accumulates data value for applications while earning revenue by serving ecological applications, offering Link To Earn rewards for ordinary users.

In addition to providing high-performance storage and computing capabilities as foundational infrastructure, it is more important to provide scalable access to acquaintance social graph data services. Therefore, in the early stages of the project, UXLINK's foundational applications need to participate in constructing the social data portion of the UXLINK protocol. The UXLINK protocol also serves as the infrastructure for UXLINK applications, enriching the data portion of the UXLINK protocol while operating UXLINK applications, providing usable data sources for developers.

4. What do the RWS Protocols and Social Liquidity Layer mentioned by UXLINK refer to?

RWS Protocols refer to UXLINK's acquaintance social protocols, including the UXAccount service protocol and the UXGraph service protocol, providing data service capabilities for social data, social assets, and social recommendations.

The Social Liquidity Layer is the foundational network data layer planned for UXLINK's social chain. On UXLINK's social chain, each EOA account has its own social graph network. In other public chains, each EOA account is an isolated digital asset account, while on UXLINK's social chain, these isolated digital assets can connect and flow within the Social Liquidity Layer. All DApps built on UXLINK's social chain can natively access this social network, making digital assets more liquid based on this network and providing possibilities for the liquidity of social assets.

5. As a developer, why choose UXLINK as the infrastructure to BUILD?

Product Growth: Developers can use UXLINK's services for social virality and product growth.

Service Recommendations: Developers can utilize UXLINK's social relationship graph to provide personalized recommendation services based on social relationships for product users.

Identity Verification: Developers can understand users' digital identities, their digital assets, social accounts, and the asset information on their social networks through UXLINK.

6. Ordinary users usually only focus on applications. Can ordinary users benefit from UXLINK's infrastructure?

While using UXLINK applications, ordinary users help construct social data for UXLINK. Therefore, UXLINK's Link To Earn mechanism is essentially Data To Earn, where ordinary users contribute data to UXLINK's infrastructure and receive Token rewards.

7. Excellent infrastructure often has outstanding ecological projects. Does UXLINK currently have ecological projects, and what is their progress? Can you provide examples?

EarlyBird3 is a GameFi project within the UXLINK ecosystem that achieved social virality growth from 0 to 40,000 in just 7 days through UXLINK. Additionally, by integrating UXLINK's social relationship data, they launched social features such as friend rankings and friend assistance.

Currently, projects such as OKAPI and Bubble AI are in the integration process, and we believe these projects will demonstrate excellent data performance once integrated.

8. How will UXLINK's infrastructure develop in the future?

Currently, UXLINK's infrastructure establishes standards for users' social data through protocols, allowing developers to use the service capabilities provided by the protocols via UXLINK's APIs. In the future, UXLINK plans to launch the Social Liquidity Layer's social chain to provide liquidity possibilities for users' social data assets, enabling the value brought by users' social networks to function across different WEB3 applications, supporting ecological developers and third parties.

At the same time, we will expand the developer community and collaborate with third-party projects. The foundation of infrastructure is data, and collaborating with third parties can bring more scenarios and applications to our users, benefiting users, allowing UXLINK to acquire data, and forming a competitive cycle.

9. How does UXLINK attract developers? Are there any plans to recruit or invite developers?

At this stage, UXLINK is in its early development phase. We introduce developers through ecological project collaborations, establishing UXLINK's core infrastructure service capabilities while working with relatively mature project teams. Currently, UXLINK can provide application-layer social growth services for ecological cooperation projects, as well as data-layer social relationship recommendations and verification services for user digital identities and digital assets.

In the future, UXLINK plans to launch a more comprehensive development toolkit to serve ordinary developers and establish the UXLINK community developer fund to support more developers in joining the UXLINK ecosystem, providing comprehensive support in technology, funding, and user growth for UXLINK's ecological construction.

10. Recently, UXLINK has been collaborating more with AI projects. Is there a reason for this?

AI projects are often in need of high-quality data, and UXLINK can provide valuable data resources and application scenarios. UXLINK is one of the few in the WEB3 field that can offer integrated on-chain and off-chain data at the account level, and when data is connected, its value becomes richer. This type of data allows AI models to learn, predict, and judge better. In simple terms, UXLINK's data and protocols are high-quality fuel for AI, making them essential infrastructure.

UXLINK will become an important infrastructure in the WEB3 ecosystem, providing high-quality data support for developers and DApps, welcoming the large-scale application development of the industry and the future of a billion-level user base.
