Follow

5Degrees follow system

The "Follow" feature of 5Degrees is essentially different from that feature of Web2.0 social products. In 5Degrees protocol, when a user follows a creator, he can obtain the creator’s personal NFT at the same time. Different creators and communities can encode it and even give it additional value.

The ID of Follow NFT is serialized to the address of the creator (the one being followed), which ensures the uniqueness of the NFT ID.

Because the 5Degrees follows the EIP-1155 protocol and simplifies the relationship network, only a simple query - ‘balanceOf()’ - is needed in order to know whether the two addresses have formed a relationship.
