Decentralized social network for web3.0 creators Soclly launches in India
Mumbai: Soclly, a social network for web 3.0 influencers, educators, and artists, made its debut in India. The three co-founders of Soclly, Prayag Singh, Naresh Katta, and Charan Kumar Borra, have created a platform that allows web3 creators to interact with their audience. As of now, Soclly has around 15+ web3 creators from a range of streams.
The concept of Soclly was first established in 2021. The co-founders got in touch with the creators and voiced their worries. It has become apparent that authors frequently receive spam and trolls in their direct messages, and since the majority of users submitted fillers in the DMs, which increased noise, there was no way to select users based on the quality of their queries.
The creators were unable to establish a personal connection with their audience. After having a discussion with a creator, the audience hardly ever posts anything on social media about how much better the interaction was. This is a problem that Soclly has attempted to address through its platform.
Singh said, “We built the MVP of the product and showcased it to the web3 creators after collecting their feedback. We launched our product for the masses after 1.5 years of rigorous development and testing in the hopes of educating everyone about the amazing world of web3.0 while also assisting creators in monetizing their skills and maintaining a relationship with their actual interested followers.”
Booking 1:1 meetings with Web3 creators using stablecoins is one of Soclly’s primary benefits. Once the meeting is over, users can rate and share their experience, which is stored on the blockchain, also known as decentralised reputation.
They have also built an option for creators to share their earnings for social good.

Nodwin Gaming partners with Runestone for esports data and integrity solutions
South Asian esports leader joins forces with Czech tech firm to enhance tournament operations.
MUMBAI: Nodwin Gaming has just levelled up its game by bringing in a specialist to keep the scoreboard honest and the fans fully engaged. The leading South Asian esports and gaming company has announced a strategic partnership with Runestone, a Prague-headquartered esports technology firm specialising in real-time data and engagement solutions for tournament organisers and publishers.
The collaboration aims to strengthen competitive integrity, improve operational oversight, and deliver more interactive viewing experiences across Nodwin’s properties. It will initially focus on the Nodwin Clutch Series for Counter-Strike 2, a Tier 2 tournament that provides emerging teams with consistent competitive opportunities and helps build the talent pipeline.
The latest edition of the series recently concluded with Big defeating ECSTATIC 2–1 in the grand final of the $50,000 online event.
Nodwin Gaming chief business officer at MENA and global head of data monetization Teemu Koski said, “Integrity and transparency are fundamental to sustainable esports ecosystems, especially in Tier 2 competition where the next generation of talent emerges. Runestone’s expertise complements our experience in building scalable esports IPs.”
Runestone head of partnerships Michael Schwartz added, “Nodwin Gaming has built one of the most dynamic esports ecosystems across emerging markets. We’re thrilled to collaborate on supporting tournaments with greater transparency, deeper fan interaction, and scalable tools.”
Both companies are exploring opportunities to extend the partnership across additional titles, including mobile-first competitive ecosystems, and to develop new products for publishers, tournament operators, and event promoters.
In the rapidly growing world of esports, where fair play and fan excitement are equally crucial, Nodwin Gaming and Runestone are teaming up to ensure every match is not only competitive but also transparent and engaging. This alliance could well become a game-changer for Tier 2 tournaments across South Asia and beyond.
