SoMon Becomes Fastest-Growing Web3 Social App with 300,000 Transactions in Two Weeks

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, July 21st, 2024, Chainwire

 

SoMon, a decentralized Web3 forum with a vision to create a space for user-owned content and connections, recently launched its app on Base and has already gained more than 300,000 on-chain transactions in 14 days since its launch, making it the most active and fastest-growing social app in the Web3 space.

SoMon, short for Social Monster, allows users to monetize and create communities (Tribes) around their favorite topics, passions, creators, and fandoms. It is the first app built on OpenSocial Protocol, a composable infrastructure layer for building social applications, and also the first Web3 social app that is truly gasless, allowing it to lower the barrier of entry and onboard users beyond the crypto community.

Having launched its mobile app on 19 June 2024, around a month ago, it has garnered over 30,000 on-chain registrations in just two weeks. Today, the community is growing rapidly, with over 2 million social engagements among 300+ different Tribes (communities) and its 80,000+ users.

“Crypto is all about community, but instead of creating communities for users, we want communities to be built by users. SoMon is a user-curated space where people are able to connect with one another while taking charge and reaping the benefits of their own social achievements at the same time,” said Sean Tao, CEO & Co-Founder of SoMon.

SoMon users started minting their own Tribes using various tools and fragmented ownership powered by NFT technology after the new feature was released on 17 July 2024. Users create content, and the platform is monetized through a tool called ‘Megaphone’, allowing users to pay for promotional visibility, with the revenue being redistributed to Tribe owners and stakeholders.

SoMon is currently in its first season, ending on 31 July 2024. In this season, users compete to gain points through interactions and earn badges by climbing to different leagues. At the end of the season, SoMon will officially launch its community token, $OwO, which will be airdropped to the community at the end of the first season, with the first airdrop releasing 3% of its total supply this 1 August 2024, and 1% of its total supply for the subsequent seasons.

During upcoming seasons, SoMon is focused on activating the community economy via Tribe Summer campaign for users to create and engage with their bot-free community.

Global Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure in Financial Sector Research Report 2024-2030: Cost of Cyber Incidents Pushes Financial Firms to Strengthen Security Protocols

2024-09-30T10:49:39Z

Dublin, Sept. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure in Financial Sector Market (2024 Edition): Market Size, Trends, Opportunities and Forecast, by Industry Sector, Deployment, Component Region, By Country: 2020-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure in Financial Sector Market registered market value of around USD 9.9 Billion in 2023 is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% during 2025-2030.

The cybersecurity market for critical infrastructure in the financial sector is driven by a myriad of factors, each contributing to the increasing complexity and urgency of deploying robust security measures. Primarily, the escalating frequency and sophistication of cyber threats stand as the foremost driver. Financial institutions are prime targets for cybercriminals due to the vast amounts of money and valuable data they hold. Attacks such as data breaches, ransomware, and phishing have become more sophisticated, prompting banks, investment firms, and insurance companies to continually evolve their cybersecurity defenses.

Moreover, the regulatory environment significantly influences market dynamics. Global financial entities such as the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and national regulators like the Federal Reserve in the United States, the European Central Bank in Europe, and similar bodies worldwide have tightened cybersecurity regulations and guidelines. Compliance with these regulations is not merely a legal formality; it is imperative for maintaining consumer trust and operational integrity. For example, regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) cybersecurity regulations in the U.S. have set stringent standards for data protection and security, driving the adoption of advanced cybersecurity solutions.

The integration of technology into financial services, commonly referred to as 'fintech,' is another critical driver. As banks and financial institutions leverage technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing to enhance efficiency and customer service, they also increase their vulnerability to cyber-attacks. This technological adoption creates a paradox where the very tools that enhance capability also expose institutions to greater risks, necessitating advanced cybersecurity measures.

Another significant driver is the cost implications of cyber incidents. Financial implications include direct costs such as recovery and remediation costs, and indirect costs like reputational damage and loss of customer trust, which can be even more detrimental in the long term. The potential financial losses resulting from cyber incidents can dwarf the investment in cybersecurity, making a compelling case for proactive expenditure in this area.

Furthermore, the shift towards digital and remote operations, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has expanded the attack surface for many financial institutions. The increased adoption of remote work models and reliance on digital channels for customer interactions have exposed new vulnerabilities, such as insecure home networks and the use of personal devices for work-related activities. This shift necessitates a reevaluation and often a redesign of cybersecurity strategies to cover endpoints and secure data across more dispersed networks.

Segment Insights

By Deployment, On-Premise accounts for around 66% share in the year 2023. The enduring preference for on-premise cybersecurity solutions in the financial sector is driven primarily by the need for control and security. Financial institutions, particularly those with extensive legacy systems and stringent regulatory requirements, often find on-premise solutions more feasible as they offer greater control over the security environment. This control is crucial not only for managing the complex and sensitive nature of financial data but also for complying with strict data residency and privacy laws that govern the sector.

Geographical Insights

Americas is the largest region in the Global Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure in Financial Sector Market. One of the most significant drivers in the Americas' cybersecurity market is the increasing incidence and sophistication of cyberattacks. Financial institutions are inherently attractive targets due to their financial assets and the sensitive financial data they manage. In recent years, cybercriminals have demonstrated increased capabilities with attacks becoming more diverse and sophisticated, including ransomware, phishing, and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs).

This threat landscape mandates continuous enhancements in cybersecurity defenses, which drives significant investment in the sector. Regulatory compliance is another crucial driver. In the Americas, particularly in the United States and Canada, regulatory bodies have established stringent cybersecurity frameworks that financial institutions must comply with. In the U.S., frameworks such as the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and guidelines from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) set the bar for cybersecurity practices.

Similarly, in Canada, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) mandates cybersecurity compliance to safeguard the financial system. These regulations ensure that cybersecurity is not just about risk management but is also a compliance necessity, pushing financial institutions to allocate substantial resources to meet these standards.
