Web3 Counterparts

This topic helps external readers place PaperProof relative to familiar web3 products without confusing product overlap for protocol equivalence.

The closest overlapping projects The most relevant comparison set is: Paragraph and the earlier Mirror model; Lens Protocol; Farcaster; DeSo; Crossbell. These projects matter because they overlap with publication, ownership, social coordination, or protocol composability.
