Following the release of Cointelegraph's latest in-depth report (Web3 Reality Check: Which Altcoins Are Really Landing?) (August 18, 2025), the entire Web3 ecosystem is undergoing a critical introspection. The article notes that daily active wallets have stabilized at approximately 24 million; a structural shift in on-chain activity has occurred, with gaming exceeding 20% while DeFi has fallen below 19%; and "other" categories such as AI, Reliable Web Apps (RWA), and Decentralized Token Pins (DPIN) account for a staggering 58% of gas consumption. Social DApps (including SocialFi) are emerging as the "rising stars" of this shift, with AI significantly boosting user engagement. Against this backdrop, UXLINK stands out as a prime example of the SocialFi ecosystem: it fuses social infrastructure with AI, leveraging the familiarity of Web2 to unlock the practicality of Web3. This article will examine UXLINK's true delivery in a maturing market through performance, adoption, and alignment with macro trends.
1. Project positioning and core narrative
UXLINK positions itself as the "social growth layer" of Web3, lowering the barrier to adoption through simplified onboarding, decentralized identity management, and AI-driven network effects. Initially launched as a Telegram mini-program, the project allows users to establish verifiable, two-way social connections and directly convert these connections into on-chain value. Unlike traditional social platforms, UXLINK emphasizes real-world relationships over "follower counts," transforming the social graph into a composable asset for DApps, communities, and projects to leverage.
Key features:
AI-powered precision matching: Algorithms recommend relevant DApps, communities, and opportunities to users without the need for centralized gatekeepers.
Decentralized identity: Users own their own data and identity, and one ID can be used across multiple chains.
SocialFi Suite: Built-in referral rebates, airdrop mechanisms, and PayFi (offline payment using debit cards linked to Web3 tokens).
Ecosystem Expansion: 600+ communities have been integrated and the ecosystem is evolving towards multi-chain, high security, and globalization.
As of mid-2025, UXLINK has over 54 million registered users and is considered the core infrastructure for "bringing the next billion people into Web3," with a user experience approaching that of Web2 social media.
2. Adoption and on-chain data: in sync with the social upswing
A Cointelegraph article highlighted the rapid growth of social and AI DApps as DeFi cools. UXLINK epitomizes this trend: Its organic growth, driven by its social graph, has steadily increased its daily active users, particularly through its Telegram portal, which lowers the barrier to entry for non-crypto native users.
In Q2 2025, the daily active users of wallets across the entire network will be 24 million, and UXLINK will contribute to the growth of social DApps by leveraging its “native wallet relationship + intent-aware edge” instead of relying on fake traffic.
In terms of gas data, the "Other" category (including AI social tools) accounts for 58%. UXLINK's on-chain interactions—such as AI recommendations and decentralized proofs—directly benefit from this wave of gas dividends: every relationship verification and cross-DApp link is a real consumption.
Community Voice: X platform users claim it helps projects build a "real audience," with growth stemming from two-way relationships rather than fake followers. Partners like OKX and several Web3 foundations have further amplified user acquisition and retention tools.
3. Currency price and market realization
The article's analysis of price performance shows a mixed bag: smart contract platform tokens saw a +142% increase, DeFi saw a +77% increase, and AI tokens saw a -25% increase. The UXLINK token (UXLINK) celebrated its first anniversary of its TGE on July 18, 2025. Despite headwinds in the AI sector, it remains above its initial offering price. Technical charts are driven by news of collaborations and innovations, with a year-end target average price of $0.4467.
Different from most AI concept coins, the core value of UXLINK lies in "use" rather than "speculation":
Governance
· Stake to get social rewards
PayFi Expansion (2025–2026 roadmap)
This is highly consistent with the report's call for "implementation" - UXLINK creates a positive cycle between the monetizable social graph and the on-chain growth engine, occupying a place in SocialFi's sustainable economic model.
4. Challenges and Future
Despite these strengths, UXLINK still needs to:
· Strengthen anti-Sybil attack and privacy protection in ZK proofs;
Addressing global regulatory red lines that may be triggered by social data processing.
The roadmap indicates that the next phase will focus on AI model upgrades, security enhancements, and global localization. In a "reality-tested" ecosystem, UXLINK will replace empty narratives with verifiable, user-centric connections, potentially catalyzing mainstream migration. As SocialFi continues to evolve, "delivery" will be defined not just as data but as scalable, meaningful, and practical value—and UXLINK is already on this path.
