# Interoperable and Composable Social Graphs

Traditional social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook are limited by fragmentation and isolation, with users' social connections being incompatible across different networks. However, BAVO offers a groundbreaking solution that empowers social media users to create authentic, privacy-preserving attestations of their social behaviors.

With BAVO, users can generate attestations to validate their social activities in both public and private contexts. For example:

* Public social attestations might confirm that Alice has gained over 100,000 Twitter followers.
* Private social attestations could verify that Bob has created more than 10 private repositories and made over 100 commits.

## Unlocking Composable Web3 Social Applications

BAVO’s standardized social attestations unlock new opportunities for Web3 social applications, enabling the creation of more meaningful, composable scenarios. By bridging gaps between fragmented social networks, BAVO sets the stage for decentralized social platforms through these key features:

* **Privacy First:** BAVO prioritizes privacy by following data minimization principles. Users control their own data, selectively disclosing only what’s necessary while keeping other details private.
* **Data Authenticity:** All social attestations provided by BAVO are guaranteed to be authentic and reliable, ensuring data integrity and building trust in social interactions.

By leveraging BAVO’s capabilities, a new generation of innovative, trustworthy, and interoperable social applications can emerge. This evolution empowers users with greater control over their social data, enabling seamless interactions across decentralized networks.\
