A social network built around a vetting process and regulation algorithm that guides beginners in the space towards filtered and ranked content through giving them the power to vote for their trusted creators.
Web3 beginners in the space usually do not know where to turn to for credible resources and tend to resort to inaccurate content by so-called industry influencers, especially from the financial perspective. More often than none do they find themselves susceptible to investment losses, pump and dump erratic endeavors, and overwhelming technical information.
We want to influence this first experience in the space positively and provide a way for users to have a say in a vetting process and regulation algorithm that filters out creators through (up and down) votes that will ultimately filter out the content and rank it as relevant or irrelevant.
Allow creators who reserve their identities with a way to build an established reputation through profile badges, which in turns validates or sanctions their content through community votes at a level of reputation that is directly tied to their visibility in the network. This shows users who to trust and what useful advice is shared based on community votes.
Our site is built using the Lens Protocol & React JS deployed on Polygon. Each of our content creators get their popularity/reputation tracked by unique NFTs. It also integrates with MetaMask & Coinbase Wallet.
These NFTs are on the NEAR chain & their metadata is stored on IPFS using StorJ. As users up-vote creators gain progress, and vice versa.
When creators reach certain progress levels they are automatically gifted NFTs. In the future, EigenTrust will be implemented for more robust progress calculation.
POLYGON - Polygon has emerged as an indisputable favourite network for retail users to transact on. Network level transactions show that 45% of all transactions on Polygon PoS are transacting less than $1.45. Building a social network on top of a chain, means that transaction cost is one of the top priorities, Polygon makes this possible and the new social graph framework Lens makes it even easier to build our project.
