Show3 is the World's First NFT-Universal Web3 Social Application. In the world of Web3, most people's digital rights and assets exist in the form of NFTs. NFT will be the most important medium in people's social activities such as validating identity, exchanging assets, and executing rights in the Web3. We aim to build Show3 into a social platform where people can better discover, discuss, use and trade NFTs. The Show3 platform will be the first decentralized social platform based on the DID protocol with fully on-chain data. At the same time, Show3 provides users with NFT-centered services such as NFT discovery, discussion, use, and transactions. It is a Web3 social platform that is completely composed of NFT elements. Digital assets held by users such as PFPs, avatars, profile backgrounds, digital pets, and emojis are all tradable NFTs. In addition, Show3 allows users to accumulate EXPs to mint their own NFTs, which is a special feature of Social & Mint. Your latest posts, on-chain pictures, and videos posted can easily be minted into NFT and become your on-chain digital assets. The Show3 platform is based on the MetaID protocol and insists that the data is completely on the chain, which benefits from the characteristics of UTXO blockchain technology and the permissionless of the MetaID protocol. All on-chain data and digital assets generated by users in Show3 do not belong to the platform but completely to the users themselves. Our goal is to use the latest blockchain technology, with NFT as the core and social activities as the entry, to build Show3 into people's favorite Web3 platform. In short, we hope all NFT enthusiasts and creators can join the Social & Mint revolution.
