The implementation of blockchain technology to decentralize social media networks (DSN) is causing a substantial shift in online interactions. This study looks into the user experience and design concepts underlying DSN, with a focus on OpenWave, a novel platform recently developed. DSN eliminates intermediaries and distributes data across multiple nodes, resulting in improved privacy, transparency, and greater control for users. However, this creates distinct complications. such as complex user interfaces, limited features to promote usability, and steep learning curves that impede their widespread adoption. To improve overall user interaction within decentralized social media platforms despite the obstacles identified above, this research identifies commonplace problems faced alongside personal preferences uniquely designed towards producing tailored principles aimed at crafting more engaging but simplified UI/UX experiences toward achieving optimal benefits from using DSN structures while creating new block-chain based solutions crafted through integrating novel UX paradigms able to revolutionize traditional norms associated with typical usage patterns frequently attributed digital innovations combining essential human-centered designs conjoined around analyzing existing approaches so far employed concerning blockchain-based systems optimizing vital changes promoting exceptional user experience outcomes leading to better adoption rates encouraging developers to adopt sustainable standards aiding continued improvement whenever implementing the conventions advanced herein providing holistic approach guidelines planed out comprehensive procedures championing strategic action plans fashioned towards actualizations intended goals specializing advantages inherent in resilient self-owned infrastructure shown capable growth, OpenWave's suggested design and implementation encapsulate key principles by demonstrating DSN ability to provide a secure, user-centric alternative to traditional social media platforms. The findings provide a hopeful picture for the future of DSN, highlighting opportunities for increased privacy functions, scalability solutions, greater correlation with emerging technologies, and increasing interoperability.
