Next on deck for me in terms of @virtuals_io launches is @useBackroom.

Backroom is a new SocialFi primitive that flips the usual model on its head: instead of creators running gated chats or managing communities, it lets people speculate on access to their signal without needing them to do anything.

I skipped friendtech entirely, and all similar products, but this one kinda allows for quality of signal and speculation to go rampant without all the hassle: no group to mod, no social contract to maintain. Tokens represent access to the value stream, not the person.

Besides, it’s on Virtual launchpad which has been on fire and lead dev is been around for a bit.

I always like simple: if someone consistently drops alpha, people will pay to stay close. But unlike past models, the creator doesn’t need to perform or engage, they just keep doing what they do. Trading fees reward them passively. Of course nfa dyor yaddayadda but imho at least worth a readup.
