Glympse.fun is Unlocking the Next Wave of SocialFi
Recapping our X Spaces with founder, @fiatphobia
We hosted a Twitter Spaces conversation with glympse.fun, diving into SocialFi, attention trading, and how Solana makes it all possible. If you missed it, here’s everything you need to know.
How Glympse Works
Glympse is a social platform that lets anyone turn their social profiles and content into tradeable tokens. The goal? Unlocking new revenue streams for creators without them having to dump tokens on their fans. Instead of traditional monetization models, Glympse leverages attention speculation—allowing users to bet on the impact of content, from music drops to major announcements. It’s an entirely new way to engage with content, driven by the same degen energy that fuels memecoins and NFT markets.
What is SocialFi?
At its core, SocialFi is about blending social engagement with financial incentives—giving users skin in the game. According to Glympse, the most powerful SocialFi applications won’t try to replace existing Web2 social platforms but instead build on top of them. Glympse does exactly that by integrating Twitter’s social ledger with blockchain transparency, allowing users to trade attention like never before.
Why Solana? Simplicity, Speed & Intuition
Glympse’s founder shared why Solana became their blockchain of choice: it just felt like home. Unlike other chains, which require endless approvals and security headaches, Solana’s user experience is simple and intuitive. That frictionless design was a game-changer when thinking about consumer applications and how to onboard the next wave of users.
Trading Volume > Ad Revenue?
One of the biggest takeaways from the conversation was this: trading volume can eclipse ad revenue. The internet has long relied on ads to monetize attention, but crypto introduces a new paradigm—one where speculation on social moments can generate more revenue than traditional advertising. With Glympse, creators can tap into this speculative economy, allowing their audience to engage with their content in a whole new way.
Rapid Fire Q&A
We wrapped up the discussion with some fun rapid-fire questions:
🐶 Mascot? “Golden retriever—brings people together.”
💸 Best trade on Glympse? “A user 2x’d in 4 hours via Glympse raffles.”
🔥 Favorite memecoin? “Fartcoin.”
🎤 Dream collab? “Dua Lipa.”
🚀 Next big trend? “SocialFi overtaking ad revenue.”
Tapestry x Glympse: What’s Next?
The conversation also touched on how Tapestry and Glympse could collaborate. With Tapestry’s ability to map social identities to wallets and track on-chain activity, we’re making it easier than ever to see what’s trending and who’s trading. Expect some exciting integrations soon.
Glympse is at the forefront of a new wave of SocialFi, and we’re excited to see how the space evolves. If you’re not already paying attention, now’s the time to start.
