Over Zoom, Al-Naji defined that BitClout was all the time actually only a proof of idea for DeSo. “We wanted to essentially launch a demo app that showcases the features of the DeSo blockchain,” he stated. “But what happened, which is kind of weird, is the BitClout app kind of exploded. A lot of mainstream celebrities joined—Tyga, Antonio Brown, Diplo, Blau all have profiles on the DeSo blockchain through the BitClout app.”
