Mask Network functions as a protocol enabling users to transmit encrypted messages across Twitter and Facebook, effectively serving as a conduit between the conventional internet and a decentralized network layer. Initially launched in July 2019, Mask Network introduced its primary use case of enabling encryption for posts on popular social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Subsequently, it secured $2 million in funding during a round in November 2020, co-led by HashKey and Hash Global, followed by an additional $3 million funding round in February 2021, with investment from Digital Currency Group and Fundamental Labs. Presently, Mask Network extends its capabilities to include the direct funding of Gitcoin grant campaigns via Twitter. Additionally, it outlines plans for peer-to-peer payments and decentralized storage functionality. Serving as a decentralized gateway, Mask Network facilitates the utilization of Decentralized Applications (DApps), encompassing areas such as cryptocurrency payments, decentralized finance, decentralized storage, e-commerce (including digital goods and NFTs), and decentralized organizations (DAOs), all seamlessly integrated atop existing social networks. This integration gives rise to what is termed a decentralized Applet (DApplet) ecosystem.
