The Convo Space

What The Convo Space does

The Convo Space (legal entity: CUPOC, INC) is a Web3 infrastructure company building a decentralized conversation protocol that decouples social/conversational data from individual applications. Founded in 2021 and operated by founder Anudit Nagar from New Delhi, the platform uses Ceramic Network for decentralized identifiers, Textile's ThreadDB built on IPFS and Libp2p for storage, and integrates with multiple Web3 wallets (MetaMask, WalletConnect, NEAR, Flow, Solana, Cosmos, OEC, Portis). The core product, also called The Convo Space, exposes conversations as a portable layer that follows users' DIDs and specific NFTs, governance proposals, or other digital assets across any interface that embeds the protocol.

The product surface comprises the Convo dashboard (thread and wallet management), an Embeddable Convo API marketed as a single-line-code integration, an API Playground for developer testing, and an Explore view for browsing on-network conversations. Go-to-market is API-first and self-serve, with distribution through documentation, Discord, Twitter (@0xConvo), GitHub (anudit/convo), and a developer blog; a Decentraland hackathon track win and 2nd place overall in 2022 functioned as primary brand-building moments. Named integrations and customers include Coinvise (social tokens), Huddln (creator economy), Decentraland (metaverse), and Boardroom (DAO governance), alongside foundation-layer relationships with Ceramic Network and Textile.

The revenue model, per available source material, is a subscription/recurring monetization through API access tiers and developer tooling; pricing is not publicly disclosed and no enterprise contracts or named paying customers are visible. Total disclosed funding is $80,000 (June 2021 seed from ConsenSys, Protocol Labs, and Tachyon by ConsenSys Mesh) plus a likely SAFE/extension from NFX in January 2023. The team remains in the 1–10 employee band and operates globally via its API and wallet coverage, with no disclosed revenue and no visible scaling signals beyond the early integration set.

Core offering

The Convo Space builds and sells a decentralized conversation protocol and Embeddable Convo API that lets Web3 developers add a portable, user-owned social/chat layer to any application. Conversations are linked to users' decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and stored via Textile's ThreadDB on IPFS/Libp2p, enabling data to move with users and assets across platforms. Customers onboard via crypto wallets (MetaMask, WalletConnect, NEAR, Flow, Solana, Cosmos, OEC, Portis).

Product overview

The Convo Space is a decentralized conversation protocol that provides infrastructure and tooling to add a social layer to web3 applications. The core product is The Convo Space platform itself, which enables developers to build composable components for conversations that can continue anywhere on the web. Users connect via blockchain wallets (MetaMask, WalletConnect, NEAR, Flow, Solana, Cosmos, Portis) to access their decentralized identity-linked conversations. The Embeddable Convo API allows integration into any application with a single line of code, while the Dashboard provides thread management and the API Playground enables developer testing. Data is stored decentralized using IPFS and Libp2p via Textile's ThreadDB, ensuring data independence from any single interface.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Paragraph: Web3-native newsletter and publishing platform with on-chain comments and community features. Comparable in enabling conversation-anchored content for Web3 creators and communities.
• Mirror: Web3-native publishing platform enabling on-chain posts, NFTs, and community conversations. Comparable in targeting creator/Web3 communities with conversation-anchored content.
• Status: Open-source, decentralized messaging app and Web3 browser with wallet-based chat. Comparable on end-user messaging and community features, though wrapped in a consumer app rather than a protocol.
• Orbis: Decentralized social graph built on Ceramic (same underlying infrastructure as Convo), offering posts, comments, and groups. Closely comparable on tech stack and core offering.

Broad incumbents

• Discourse: Open-source forum and community discussion platform widely used by Web3 projects. Comparable in serving community conversation needs, but a centralized incumbent rather than decentralized protocol.

Direct peers

• Farcaster: Decentralized social network protocol with a sufficiently decentralized social graph (Frames, Warpcast). Competes directly for Web3-native social conversation and developer mindshare.
• Lens Protocol: Decentralized social graph built by Aave, providing portable social primitives (profiles, follows, posts) on-chain. Overlaps with Convo's vision of separating social data from applications via portable identity-linked content.
• XMTP: Decentralized messaging protocol for Web3 wallets, directly competing with Convo as a cross-application messaging layer for crypto users. Both build permissionless, wallet-based conversation infrastructure.
• Push Protocol: Web3 communication protocol for wallet-to-wallet messaging, notifications, and group chat. Direct overlap with Convo's messaging API targeting NFT, DAO, and dApp use cases.

Others

• Ceramic Network: The underlying DID and data streaming infrastructure layer on which Convo is built. Enabling/partner relationship — Ceramic's roadmap directly impacts Convo's capabilities.
