​Social networks are at the heart of our digital lives, but they’re also one of its weakest points.

​🔒 Centralized control, opaque algorithms, arbitrary bans, and lock-in of identities and content. Today, we post in spaces we don’t own, where communities are just “databases” managed by someone else, and losing your account means disappearing from the digital world.

​💥 But what if we could rethink all of this?
Innovative social networks like Farcaster are building an alternative: a decentralized network where no one can take away your identity, your content, or your followers.
Where your connection with friends is direct, not filtered through proprietary platforms.

​In this event, we’ll discuss:

• ​Why traditional social networks are a systemic risk

• ​What changes with Web3-native social: ownership, portability, and composability

• ​How Farcaster works and why its impact matters

• ​What’s already being built: multiple clients and access points, miniapps, and direct monetization

​🎙️ Intro talk + open discussion
📱 Live demo of 4 miniapps
🍸 Followed by an aperitivo at Urbe Hub

​👾 Are you a dev, designer, creator — or just tired of posting into the void?
Come discover what’s next after X and Instagram.
