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.

Bybit Bolsters Compliance with Appointment of New Chief Legal & Compliance Officer

2024-09-30T13:18:52Z

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Sept. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert MacDonald as the new Chief Legal & Compliance Officer. With a distinguished career spanning both the public sector and traditional finance, Robert brings a wealth of expertise in regulatory compliance and combating financial crime, reinforcing Bybit’s commitment to legal integrity, principled compliance, and robust governance.

Robert’s leadership will be instrumental in paving a sustainable and responsible path for Bybit’s continued growth. He began his career practicing criminal law as a barrister in London, specializing in the field of financial crime, before serving the U.K. Ministry of Justice. Over the next decade, Robert embarked on a cross-continental journey mostly in traditional finance and banking, working for global institutions including one of the world’s largest asset managers, South Korea’s most popular eCommerce company, and crypto exchange Binance. 

In his new role, Robert will oversee a joint legal and compliance team in navigating the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. The team is comprised of a dedicated taskforce of legal counsels who cover a wide array of global legal issues and topical research, as well as a versatile compliance function including: a regulatory compliance function looking after licensing and registrations matters across jurisdictions and adherence to local requirements; a global compliance team of Money Laundering Reporting Officers; and specialists in compliance operations focusing on a safe and responsible client onboarding process including rigorous compliance controls throughout the user lifecycle.

“Bybit’s vision is to build a company that stands the test of time—lasting a hundred years or more,” said Helen Liu, Chief Operating Officer at Bybit. “A strong foundation begins with a culture of compliance and a dedication to doing things the right way. We’re thrilled to have Robert on board, as his decade of experience and keen insight into evolving regulatory trends will be invaluable to our continued growth and long-term success,” she added.

Robert said he sees inconsistencies in regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions as the key challenge to the industry. “There is a lack of uniformity in how cryptocurrencies are classified and regulated, which creates uncertainty for businesses and investors. Additionally, many governments are grappling with issues related to consumer protection, money laundering, and taxation,” said Robert MacDonald, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer at Bybit.“ The focus on stabilizing and regulating stablecoins and ensuring compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations are also pressing challenges. These issues give legitimate crypto exchanges with the technical know-how and right culture an opportunity to change the digital asset industry for the better. For regulators, the evolving nature of the technology and the fast-paced growth of the crypto market is a pain point, and many acknowledge a growing demand for more comprehensive regulations and clearer guidelines,” he continued.

Undeterred by the challenges, Robert said Bybit’s invitation presented him an opportunity to make a difference in the industry. “I am thrilled to join Bybit at this exciting time, this role brings together my legal, compliance and previous crypto experiences. Bybit is on an incredible growth trajectory, and doing this in a sustainable manner by ensuring we build a world-class legal and compliance function with adherence to local regulations is key.”
