Interesting pivot happening in the Web3 social space. A well-known decentralized social protocol is reportedly redirecting its energy toward wallet infrastructure instead of doubling down on its social app. The reasoning? They see bigger growth opportunities in the wallet vertical.



This shift raises questions about the sustainability of decentralized social platforms and whether infrastructure plays might offer clearer paths to adoption. Wallet services sit at the entry point of crypto experiences, potentially capturing more users than niche social networks. Could be a pragmatic move—or a signal that social dapps still face serious traction challenges. Worth watching how this plays out.

To be honest, the social sector really can't keep up with the competition anymore.

The wallet sector definitely has more potential for profit, while social networking is always a pseudo-need.

The social track is too competitive, it's still more comfortable to work on wallets...

To be honest, social DApps have just been burning money and are unsustainable these past few years. It would be more practical to make wallets instead.

Simply put, the social track is too competitive; focusing on wallets is more straightforward... Entry-level applications will always be more lucrative than niche social platforms.

To put it simply, social DApps are basically a false demand... It's more practical to focus on wallet infrastructure. What users really need is a user-friendly entry point, not yet another Twitter alternative.

Wallet infrastructure is indeed the entry point, but this kind of pivot is somewhat like medieval manuscript scribes switching to being paper merchants—it shows business acumen, but also loses that dedication to creativity itself. The path of social networking may be harder, but it is also more worthwhile.
