An article to understand Web3 social middleware "Relation"
In the current evolution of the Internet, Web3 will be a new generation of network iteration based on encryption technology, and people will have a decentralized, open and unlimited way of interacting in the Web3 world.
In the Web3 world, we already have many applications for crypto traders. Among all kinds of data, in addition to trading applications such as DeFi, people's behavior also has great and undiscovered value. Many people love to connect and communicate with others in the community, some want to follow trending NFT topics, and some want to subscribe to their favorite content creators. Social networking in Web3 requires a borderless, multi-chain interaction, including transactions and behaviors. Users want to easily find the information and content they want in Web3, and get better data privacy and user experience.

Decentralized Empowerment
In Web3, people are taking more responsibility from the centralized social application giants. As social networks become more decentralized, people's roles may change. Users of traditional social applications can only generate data and create value for the platform. Now these users can be participants and maintainers of social networks. People can add value to the social ecology through their own activities and benefit from it. They can contribute in their own way, and they also have the right to make proposals and vote in governance.
Relationis the next generation of social application middleware in Web3, which provides tools and services that enable people to create and manage their own transaction and behavioral data, and interact with others on the chain.Relation will play the role of a data Layer2, no matter which chain users are active on, they can manage all data in one gateway. The on-chain transaction and behavior data generated by users will be processed by community developers after being authorized to provide data services and benefit individual users and developers in the entire community. Currently, Relation is deployed and implemented based on Internet Computer.
Relation consists of four product components:
IC One, a one-stop Web3 gateway
IC One is a lightweight user plugin that enables users to easily create their own IDs and private data jars. Users can store and manage anything in the data jar, including contacts, smart contract wallets, and authorization information given to dApps. By authorizing a dApp, the user grants the dApp the right to access some of its data. Through this gateway, people can manage the dApps they have connected to, organize or share the NFTs they own, and also follow others on multiple chains and get push notifications of their on-chain activities.
IC Graph, an open source graph database solution in Web3
On the chain, we need a database to store and retrieve relational data in Web3. Relation self-developed IC Graph, the first graph database deployed as a smart contract on the blockchain. After users open and authorize their social relationship data, IC Graph will store all authorized transaction and behavior data. Based on IC Graph, we can build a powerful recommendation system and community content discovery system to provide accurate recommendations and reach paths based on user transactions and interactions.
IC Link, a data access channel under user authorization, links everyone in Web3
IC Link is an open protocol for linking people, people and assets, people and dApps to build a social graph on the chain.
IC Link helps users and dApps link to the global social relationship graph to form a data pipeline for authorization, query and batch data retrieval. IC Link makes Relation a data Layer 2 on multiple chains, linking transactions and behaviors on multiple chains in one storage space.
Relation is not going to be the next social giant, instead, Relation is empowering social network participants by providing the tools and services necessary to manage their own data and contribute to and advance the development of decentralized social networks. With more and more participants and data in the Web3 social network, the Social Graph and the value generated by it will become more and more prosperous, which will eventually benefit everyone in the network.
