“Traditional Internet platforms have supreme authority over content delivery and user data, serving content to users based on that rather than allowing users to choose what content they want. So algorithms are creating information silos.
ReadON aims to create a unique distribution model by allowing the community to upvote and curate content so that users can access high-quality content efficiently.
Users with experience, knowledge, and influence on various topics can gain voting power through topic-bound NFT mechanisms and pass judgment on curators. With the help of True-Read technology, content consumers’ reading behavior can also change curator’s evaluations.
ReadON aims to attract and engage more creators and curators into the world of Web3 and enrich the on-chain content ecosystem. In the future, ReadON will also release a plugin that will make it easier for creators to claim ownership of content created on Web2 social media platforms such as Medium.
ReadON co-founder Troy said: ”
