EarlyFans

EarlyFans is a SocialFi decentralized application built on Blast Layer 2 by Atticc Labs, designed to bridge social media content creation and blockchain-based financial incentives. It targets creators and their fans, enabling them to engage in novel social and financial interactions through mechanisms called Promises and Bribes. These features allow creators to monetize their social influence while offering fans speculative upside by supporting creators early. EarlyFans launched its first version in April 2024, quickly reaching over 20,000 users and $7 million in transaction volume, with a second version released in September 2024.

The platform integrates with social media starting with X (formerly Twitter), allowing creators to leverage their existing audiences. Users interact via smart contracts on Blast L2, a Layer 2 blockchain optimized for social finance applications. EarlyFans provides a unique bonding curve tokenomics model and supports trading and fulfillment of Promises and Bribes, creating a dynamic marketplace for social engagement and financial speculation. The platform is backed by reputable venture capital and angel investors and has received recognition in the Blast Big Bang competition.

Developers and product teams can get started by accessing comprehensive documentation and open-source code on GitHub. EarlyFans offers detailed guides on wallet management, making and trading Promises and Bribes, and understanding its tokenomics. This makes it suitable for teams building social token economies, creator monetization tools, or experimental SocialFi dapps. EarlyFans stands out by combining social media integration with financial primitives on a performant Layer 2 chain, enabling innovative creator-fan relationships beyond traditional platforms.
