Niche Protocol Announces Public Beta Launch of Ad-Free Social Media Platform Geared for Web3

Niche—an ad-free, decentralized social media platform consisting of user-owned clubs where members can own and sell their own content—has announced the public beta launch of its app, which can be accessed openly on the App Store

The beta launch is the perfect time to create clubs that are based on shared passions in a variety of categories, including travel, tech, fashion, media, wellness, and food. Niche is also holding a limited g******* of numbered NFTs for the first 5,000 people who join. The official go-to-market launch is scheduled for March 2023.

Niche is co-founded by Christopher Gulczynski, CEO, and Zaven Nahapetyan, CTO. Gulczynski was a co-creator and CPO of Bumble, as well as a co-founder, CCO, and patented co-inventor of “the swipe” feature for Tinder. Nahapetyan was a senior engineering manager at Facebook, creating and leading key projects like Facebook fundraisers, civic engagement efforts, and several initiatives against misinformation. Over 50% of Niche’s developers are female—a rarity for a tech company.

The Niche platform fulfills the Web3 promise of decentralized ownership and reinvents social media along with it. The platform rewards engagement and content creation with token ownership. Each club member receives unique digital membership cards that unlock events, discussions, and more. Club memberships can be freely bought and sold for real money. Niche is completely user-friendly and doesn’t require any prior experience with blockchain or NFTs.

Another characteristic that distinguishes Niche from other social platforms is the absence of vanity metrics, including friends, followers, and likes. This feature will enhance personal connection within communities, as members must engage directly through discussions, rather than simply liking a post. It will also remove the pressure on members to compete for the most likes or followers.
