WonderChain’s Web3.5: Reviving Lost Social Capital, Rebuilding Trust for a Healthy Society Led by Robert Putnam

Beyond Digital Networks and Into Real Communities: The Role of Web3.5 in Restoring Community Bonds and the Norms of Reciprocity 

Robert Putnam’s Warning: Web3.5 Declares the ‘Revival of Social Capital’

World-renowned political scientist and Harvard Kennedy School Professor Emeritus Robert Putnam strongly warned in his book Bowling Alone that the weakening of community bonds and social capital in American society continues to this day.

Robert Putnam defines social capital as a combination of “networks, norms, and trust,” emphasizing that the balance between bonding capital (among homogeneous groups) and bridging capital (among heterogeneous groups) is the very foundation of a healthy society. In reality, although digital technology has brought about a revolution in connectivity, it is paradoxically facing the dilemma of a further weakened foundation of community trust and reciprocity.

Presenting a solution to this challenge of the times, WonderChain has declared a new paradigm called Web3.5. This declaration is drawing attention as it sets the revival of social capital as its ultimate goal, going beyond decentralization.

Recently, major global media platforms, including Benzinga, have continuously praised WonderChain, showing extraordinary interest.

They evaluated WonderChain as “the beginning of a new digital empire surpassing Apple and Google,” and “a project that has secured a leading position and is expanding from a single community into a global ecosystem.”

Such reports suggest that WonderChain is being widely recognized as a digital movement oriented toward the restoration of social capital emphasized by Robert Putnam.

WonderChain Declares the Web3.5 Era, Presenting the Mission of Reviving Social Capital

The prevailing assessment is that although the existing Web3 ecosystem has achieved technical decentralization, it has failed to systematically build the trust and reciprocity necessary to realize community values, revealing fundamental limitations.

In response to the demands of the times, WonderChain has attracted the attention of the industry by presenting its Web3.5 vision. This vision clearly contains the mission of reviving Robert Putnam’s philosophy of social capital within the context of an era that integrates both online and offline.

The core of WonderChain’s strategy is to shift from a structure centered on private interests to one centered on collective benefit. It aims to realize community-based values grounded in trust and reciprocity through blockchain technology and real-world community activities.

Global media DailyHunt recognized WonderChain as “a pioneer of Web3.5 in global media” and reported that “it is leading the design of the Web.5 era.” This shows that WonderChain is being spotlighted as a leading player in the next-generation Internet paradigm.

Technological Embedding of Transparency, Trust, and Fairness

WonderChain takes decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and smart contracts as its core, creating a structure in which all contributions are transparently returned to the community, and authority and capital are distributed fairly and equitably.

Because contributors are justly rewarded according to their contributions, and all processes, including the management of foundation donations and funds, are transparently disclosed, WonderChain itself becomes the solution that completes the systemic reciprocity emphasized by Putnam.

WonderChain begins the revival of social capital, powered by its community.

The driving force of WonderChain’s system lies in its strong community.

WonderChain plans to actively promote participation by users around the world, not only within online networks, but also in real-world activities such as travel, shopping, reputation building, local volunteering, and community participation.

By providing benefits for practical activities, community participants create their own value and realize transparent reciprocity.

This shows a new model in which “the more one participates, the more one is rewarded,” revealing the potential to restore lost trust in the digital age and rebuild the ecosystem of social capital.

In particular, it is seen as the first attempt in blockchain history to naturally give value to lifestyle itself through users’ daily consumption and activities.

Such an innovative approach works as a driving force that strongly increases voluntary participation among users.

The data analytics platform CoinStats reported that WonderChain is showing “explosive expansion with 300% monthly growth,” and “This mirrors Apple’s early iPhone growth curve, a typical exponential growth pattern when innovative technology and strong community combine.”

The WonderChain community, which has currently achieved explosive growth, immediately led to a cultural phenomenon. The authoritative media of the Greater China region, China.com, reported WonderChain as the first “cultural phenomenon” project in blockchain history, and it is being evaluated as a new turning point that leads culture beyond technology.

Web3.5: A Global Alternative Toward a World Where Everyone Can Live Well

WonderChain declares its goal to carry out a global mission for people around the world who need a foundation to grow through social capital.

The project builds opportunities for global solidarity and cooperation through communities in regions suffering from a lack of trust and networks.

It also connects communities and mentorships in areas facing social isolation or in need of social connection, launching a large-scale global solidarity campaign.

Through this worldwide initiative for the revival of social capital, WonderChain seeks to create “a world where everyone can live prosperously” and helps communities revive vibrantly around the world.

Conclusion: WonderChain Answers Robert Putnam’s Question with “The Revival of Social Capital”

The message of WonderChain, which is implemented through Web3.5, is clear. To the question about the collapse of social capital that Robert Putnam threw, “Will we collapse as we are?”, WonderChain presents the practical and powerful solution of “Again, Social Capital Revival.”

Through smart contracts and decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) systems, WonderChain records every mission and fund management process transparently, ensuring fair rewards according to each contribution.

All information, including foundation donations, stays open and visible to the community.

This shows that blockchain technology no longer remains limited to the financial field but works as a tool for social solidarity.

WonderChain stands as a platform that presents a tangible future, one that builds a shared environment where everyone can live together.

Web3.5, pioneered by WonderChain, is a human-centric, virtuous cycle ecosystem that breaks down the boundaries between online and offline by using blockchain technology to return power and rewards (value) to users (the community). 

In other words, it is an innovative platform where all daily life activities (lifestyle) are transparently recognized as value and fairly rewarded.
