The Graph's co-founder went quiet for four years to fix web3 social. Yaniv Tal launches Geo Debates
Published 5 hours ago
Description
Decentralized social keeps failing for the same reason: Farcaster, Lens and every Twitter clone built an app-specific data model, so nothing composes and no network effect forms. KNOWLEDGE GRAPHS are the missing piece, and Geo Debates, launched today, is the first consumer product built on one. Two people who disagree on a specific claim argue it on video in timed turns, the clip drops into a swipeable short-form feed, the audience votes on who made the stronger case, and every claim stays on the record where it can be challenged later. Yaniv Tal, founder of Geo and co-founder of The Graph, breaks down why he stepped away from Edge & Node in 2022 to self-fund Geo through the bear market, why building a protocol and a consumer app at the same time is almost diametrically opposed, and why he refuses to let people bet on matters of fact. He explains what ground truth means for AI answers when nobody knows which sources are correct, how the dead internet theory ties back to centralization, and why Geo Debates runs on an Ethereum layer three that users never have to see.
