## What problems do current community building apps have?&#x20;

*There are no platforms catered specifically to the growth of Web3 communities*

## Here are 4 downfalls of existing solutions&#x20;

### Lack of security

In the Web3 world, everyone has assets stored online, existing platforms leave communities vulnerable to attacks on these assets.

### Web2 Built

Existing solutions are built by Web2 teams, without any understanding of Web3 culture or needs. No token gating, weighted polling, financial integration.

### Lack of Privacy

**87%** of users worry about their privacy and security online. (Source: Global Web index)

### Centralised Control

**66%** of consumers are worried about how companies handle their data (Source: Salesforce).

## The Solution?&#x20;

## BlockChat. An all-in-one community building platform, made for Web3.

Community browsing, Direct/Group messaging, Customizable Blockspaces, Advanced Security, Token Gating, Weighted Polling, Decentralised AI, BlockSpace Live, Profile-based posting and more…
