In this episode of the Hive Technology Interviews, I talk to Michael Paler of Hashtag Protocol about the work that is being done to bring the #hashtag into the Web3 world.
We discuss:
- How current hashtags are siloed on platforms (eg. Twitter or Instagram)
- The need and utility for a global search for hashtags
- How content authors will benefit from hashtags stored on blockchain
- How platforms will benefit from the hashtag protocol
- The roadmap for getting there
- What's been done so far (Hint: you can mint hastags as NFTs at no protocol cost, just ETH gas)
- Scaling this idea on the Polygon chain
I also manage to get Chris Messina a job ;-)
