What is Decentralized Social (DESO) crypto?

Decentralized Social is a blockchain for empowering Web 3.0 decentralized social networks, and it was launched to address the issues caused by the centralization of social media platforms.

The DESO blockchain was established in 2019 by Nader Al-Naji, who reportedly studied at Princeton University and has worked for Google and the D.E. Shaw Group.

It is often alleged that large social media companies control public discourse and make huge profits while content creators remain underpaid. The Decentralized Social blockchain was created to end this, and it treats social media content as a public utility, and it is accessible to everyone.

The DESO chain integrates a person-to-person financial system with virtual currencies and makes it an efficient, scalable infrastructure. The protocol claims to support numerous apps built on its blockchain, including names like Pulse, Polygram, and Supernovas.

On March 27, the protocol tweeted that future of social awaits and that Decentralized Social was built as an open-source protocol so that anyone in the world can build on it. This could have caught the attention of crypto market enthusiasts.

Bottom line

The DESO crypto acts as a native utility token of the Decentralized Social protocol, and its total and maximum supply are 10.8 million tokens. According to CoinMarketCap data, the circulating supply of the DESO crypto is approximately 8.9 million DESO tokens.

At the time of drafting, the 24-hours volume of the cryptocurrency was up over 500 per cent to US$ 1.9 million.

Notably, in December 2021, the DESO crypto had clocked an all-time high of US$ 475 per token. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase Exchange and CoinEx have listed the DESO crypto for trading.
