Over the past few weeks I’ve taken the time to become very intimate with the DeSo Ecosystem. I’ve created this basic diagram to showcase the @deso ecosystem (it’s an initial draft).

I’ve taken the time to thoroughly evaluate the ecosystem including:

1. Meeting with some of the with the core team 🤝
2. Meeting with the founders of projects building on DeSo 👷‍♂️
3. Technical and fundamental analysis of $DESO 📈
4. Reading through DeSo documentation and strategies 🔬
5. Exploring and using current products 🎮
6. Evaluating growth prospects and growth gaps ⚖️
7. Diving head first into posting, commenting, blogging and diamonding (lol is that a thing?) 📬
8. Buying a bunch of cool of NFTs 🌅
9. Exploring the on-chain capabilities and noting down ideas ⛓️💡
10. Learning the history including all the glorious wins, the challenges as well as the failures 🩺

Thank you to the entire community who have been so welcoming.

Thank you to Ash for introducing me to #deso in the first place and to Ed for taking me through a deep dive into DeSo’s past, present and future plans. @Ashdigital @mossified @nader

A special mention to @edokoevoet (founder of @DeSocialWorld ) for connecting me with the passionate builders and OGs.

Thank you to the legendary OGs who have shared their wealth of knowledge about the ecosystem and are some of the biggest die hard supporters. @OxAustin @darian_parrish @MarkBentley @Krassenstein

And thank you to all the wonderful community members who helped guide me on my journey into DeSo. (Too many to mention without spamming! You know who you are as I’ve bought your CC)

Soon I’ll share a blog with high level notes on my evaluation.

I’d love to hear from the community about any or all of the following:

1. Please let me know if I’ve missed anything critical in the ecosystem ❓

2. We talk a lot about what we have and the growth potential, but what major things do you think we are currently missing that can accelerate adoption/growth?❓

3. Do you have recommendations for anything else I should check out/read? ❓

4. What would you like to find out about in my evaluation and experience so far? ❓
