Decentralized social platform Calaxy has announced the launch of its white-label solution called ‘Worlds’, a set of online spaces for individuals and communities.

According to the press release, this solution will “redefine” the way in which people connect and interact online, enabling users to become “mini-app moguls.”

Calaxy explained that ‘Worlds’ is a collection of decentralized and interconnected online spaces.

These spaces enable each user to build their digital identity and join communities on the censorship-proof platform.

Both individuals and communities can create personalized, installable mini decentralized apps (dapps) on their home screens through unique URLs.

Individuals and communities can create personalized apps using Calaxy’s underlying progressive web app (PWA) infrastructure.

Furthermore, users maintain full ownership and control over their data, community, and privacy, the team claimed.

They are also able to remove unwanted ads from their community’s feeds.

Meanwhile, admins and community leaders can also earn money.

They can provide opportunities for creators and businesses by offering original virtual experiences, goods, and events in their Worlds, thus monetizing from their own spaces.

Additionally, early adopters of Worlds include decentralized applications Karate Combat and STEPN. The two have created their Worlds with Calaxy.

According to the announcement, Calaxy Worlds differs from traditional social media, as it “provides the benefits of decentralization, while challenging the dominance of Web2 social apps.”

The team said it eliminates both the barriers to owning a part of the internet and the reliance on Web2 social media giants.

Solo Ceesay, co-founder and CEO of Calaxy, commented that the team envisions “a future where internet communication is inclusive and no longer dominated by centralized platforms.

‘The Ultimate Super App’ and Solana Integration

When it comes to ‘Worlds’ use cases, the team claims there can be countless.

As examples they gave content creators updating their fanbases and artists retaining control of monetization and promotion.

There are also plenty of use cases for small businesses and meme coin communities, the team said.

Spencer Dinwiddie, Executive Chair and co-founder of Calaxy commented ‘Worlds’ empowers anyone to become “a mini-app mogul.”

Every person is free to shape their own corner of the internet, he said.

Per the announcement, thanks to its user-first interface, “Worlds is the ultimate super app. […] By championing decentralized principles, we are empowering users to connect, create, and collaborate on their own terms.”

Meanwhile, Calaxy also announced its integration with Solana (SOL).

Per the press release, the move “significantly expands” the platform’s reach to include Solana’s active user base of some 123 million monthly active users.

It also provides it with the scalability and performance “necessary to support its ambitious vision of a decentralized internet.”

Calaxy is founded by NBA player Spencer Dinwiddie and tech entrepreneur Solo Ceesay.

Besides social networking, it also offers a social wallet for digital assets, including crypto and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
