Introduction
Mask Network is the middleware for the transition from Web2.0 to Web3.0. It allows users to send encrypted messages, crypto assets, and decentralized applications, such as DeFi, NFT and DAO, on the platforms of traditional social giants. As a result, users can create a decentralized application ecosystem.
Although Mask Network is committed to linking traditional Internet platforms (such as Twitter) and blockchain platforms to achieve a bridge for asset and information exchange, Mask Network is still in the early stages of the project, which has led to the competition between all these decentralized products. Their functions are quite similar and whether there is a strong demand to that remains to be verified.
