Unveiling Powerloom: Your Ticket to the On-Chain Social Future

Imagine a world where social networks are no longer confined to likes, retweets, or passive scrolling. Picture a space where meaningful interactions are rooted in verifiable truths, and communities can build, engage, and even monetize their activities in a decentralized, blockchain-supported ecosystem.

This is the vision Powerloom is building—a composable data network that empowers developers to create reliable and transformative on-chain applications for the next generation of social networks.

Powerloom: The Attention Economy Meets Blockchain

Powerloom provides a decentralized data network enabling developers to build truth-driven applications for platforms like Farcaster. By combining six years of blockchain expertise and over 5,300 Snapshotter nodes, Powerloom ensures real-time, reliable data accessibility, fostering meaningful and participatory interactions.

Its flagship initiative, Generative Prediction Markets (GPM), highlights the network’s transformative potential by allowing users to back their beliefs with blockchain-backed conviction. Through integration with Farcaster Frames, Powerloom bridges social discussions and financial incentives, demonstrating how decentralized infrastructure can redefine online engagement.

The Powerloom team, with its history of pioneering RPCs and indexing solutions for platforms like Polygon, continues to lead innovation in on-chain applications. By ensuring interactions are backed by financial conviction and verifiable truths, Powerloom replaces low-accountability behaviors with data-driven, high-conviction engagement.

Powerloom GPM

Powerloom’s Generative Prediction Markets (GPM) app exemplifies what’s possible with a composable data network. GPM is an on-chain game within the Onchain Points (OCP) ecosystem that autonomously generates and resolves micro-prediction markets around token prices. It integrates insights from Powerloom-based data markets like Uniswap v2, v3, and Aave, ensuring transparency and fairness without the need for human intervention or external oracles.

GPM also integrates with platforms like Farcaster, enabling users to make on-chain predictions directly from their social feeds. This allows communities to back their beliefs with data-driven bets, transforming opinions into actionable, monetizable convictions. With over 10,000 wallets engaging across 50,000+ self-resolving markets, GPM is a testament to Powerloom’s ability to catalyze next-gen consumer apps by abstracting the complexities of querying and composing low-level on-chain data.

On-chain Prediction Markets: The GPM app operates with Powerloom’s Snapshotter infrastructure, continuously capturing low-level on-chain data and transforming it into actionable insights like 24-hour price action and liquidity dynamics. Users can participate by backing their beliefs with data-informed positions.

The app automatically generates new markets every 5 minutes. Once generated, markets remain active for ~30 minutes and resolve when the timer expires. The generation and resolution both happen without any human intervention, ensuring transparency and fairness in a decentralized, bias-free environment.

This innovative approach combines the dynamic nature of social feeds with the reliability of blockchain-verified data, offering a glimpse into the future of financialized social interactions.

Powerloom’s Architecture

Data Composition Beyond Indexing

At the heart of Powerloom’s network is its globally distributed Snapshotter infrastructure, with over 5,300 nodes continuously capturing state changes and event emissions for user-defined data markets. Powerloom goes beyond merely indexing blockchain data by composing and transforming raw data into higher-order datasets and rich insights that applications—and end-users—can consume without investing heavily in backend or frontend data systems.

This approach makes accessing on-chain data easy, reliable, and cost-effective, reducing the need for expensive infrastructure while enabling real-time, verifiable insights.

Decentralized Verification

Powerloom’s Snapshotter network operates with an integrated consensus mechanism that guarantees accuracy, reliability, and verifiability by default. This eliminates the need for multiple RPC subscriptions or redundancy measures, offering developers and users a seamless and trustworthy experience. By anchoring data with cryptographic proofs and ensuring consensus across thousands of nodes, 

Integration with Social Primitives

By working with platforms like Farcaster, Powerloom shows how social interactions can become economic transactions without losing the essence of social networking.

Powerloom Mainnet Unlocked

On January 10, 2025, Powerloom’s mainnet went live, introducing the $POWER token into circulation. This unlock is transformative because:

• Developers gain access to a robust data layer for creating on-chain apps, with $POWER used for staking to operate Snapshotter nodes, ensuring data veracity.
• Users can now engage with features like GPM, aligning social prediction with economic incentives through token staking.
• Investors see the TGE as a launchpad for $POWER, with vesting mechanisms aimed at fostering stable growth and governance participation.
• The Ecosystem expands with the mainnet, initially supporting Uniswap V2 markets and planning for more, built on a scalable OP Stack with EigenDA for performance and security.

This milestone invites participation in a new digital ecosystem where social interactions carry tangible economic value, redefining community engagement in blockchain contexts.

Why Should You Care?

Powerloom is changing how we interact online. Here’s why this matters:

• Trustworthy Data: In an era where misinformation can spread like wildfire, Powerloom ensures the data you’re basing decisions on is reliable.
• New Incentives for Social Media: Instead of just seeking likes, users might soon aim to predict and profit from their insights, making social media more than just a space for chatter.
• A Platform for Innovators: Developers can now focus on creating innovative social and prediction applications, knowing the data layer is taken care of.

As we approach Powerloom’s TGE, remember, this is about the infrastructure for the next wave of on-chain social interactions. Whether you’re an investor, a developer, or just someone tired of the current state of social media, Powerloom’s journey from here might just redefine how we connect, communicate, and capitalize on our digital lives.
