MeWe, a social networking app with 20 million users, is adopting the Frequency blockchain, built on Polkadot, to bring self-sovereign blockchain-based identities to its users. The integration will allow MeWe's users to take control of their identity data and act as a foundation for controlling the data they have on social networks.

The Frequency blockchain creates a "social identity" that enables a user to be on the social graph and which people can use across applications that sign onto this vision of Web3, with users owning their identities and controlling their privacy settings on different applications.

The Frequency blockchain evolved out of work of the Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP), another technology that enables applications to deliver Web3 features to their users, supported by Project Liberty, a non-profit funded by real estate billionaire Frank McCourt.
