Decentralized Social (DeSo) crypto as the name suggests is a blockchain network which is conceived to power Web 3.0 decentralized social networks. Founded by Nader Al-Naji in January 2019, the unique feature of the DeSo crypto is that it can scale Web 3.0 decentralized social applications and aims to solve issues by centralizing the social media.

Being a hybrid peer-to-peer network, the goal of the DeSo is to become one of the widely used social networks by giving power to the users through various decentralized tools, without compromising on its intuitiveness.

With effective time stamping techniques, the information that is saved on the DeSo protocol get effectively distributed without the third-party involvement. Built on the Interplanetary File System (IFPS), which is a distributed file system, it makes the crypto more resilient and counters all forms of spams or attacks and against the Distributed Network Attacks (DDoS). It can do so as its data is not stored at single location, but in fact distributed across the networks. This allows the users to access and contribute to the decentralized social networks.

The Coinbase listing did give DeSo wings. After a fruitful December, the experts are of the view that momentum will continue early next year and could see the token climb up the ladder in the ranking as well. It does boast of the right fundamentals to strengthen its position in 2022 and a strong rally could very well see its price touch US$200 in 2022. Having said that, if we go by the past performance in 2021, it did have bouts of rally, but it was followed by prolonged bearish phase.

In a volatile market, investors should also be wary of the risks associated with cryptos and therefore, it would be advisable to study the trends carefully before taking investment decisions.
