Reddit Co-Founder Plans to Bring TikTok On-Chain with Web3 Vision
His vision involves revolutionizing social media by shifting ownership to its users and creators
While specifics remain unclear, Ohanian’s plan suggests that TikTok users could gain control of their data, and content creators could own their audiences.
Ohanian has confirmed his intentions through social media, noting that his acquisition would transform TikTok by integrating blockchain technology, allowing for decentralized ownership.
He is part of a larger group, including Frank McCourt, working on the acquisition, with Ohanian serving as a strategic advisor to Project Liberty. The entrepreneur sees Web3 as a means to empower the TikTok community and redefine digital interactions.

Though the exact structure of this Web3-powered TikTok remains undisclosed, experts speculate it could introduce blockchain-based monetization methods, such as micropayments in cryptocurrency. Additionally, the platform may explore non-fungible tokens (NFTs), following Reddit’s foray into digital collectibles.
The choice of blockchain for this transition is yet to be revealed, though there are hints that Ohanian might lean towards centralized Layer 2 solutions or, potentially, Layer 1 chains, given past experiences. Despite the exciting potential, regulatory hurdles remain, and Ohanian will need to navigate compliance, especially considering the current scrutiny around cryptocurrency regulations.
