Creating Referendum, a Web3 social network, to unify fragmented public opinion on key issues through AI moderation, blockchain transparency, non-duplicable polls, and a vote-to-earn model.

Today, no one truly knows the real public opinion on almost any issue. Whether it’s attitudes towards transgender athletes at the Olympics or migration policies in your country, the sentiment seems to change depending on which corner of the internet you visit. Visit a blog supporting immigration, and you’ll see one poll result. Visit one against it, and you’ll see the opposite. There’s no single source of truth. This fragmentation makes it easy for big capital to manipulate public sentiment.

That’s why we’re creating Referendum, a Web3 social network that eliminates echo chambers and scattered discussions. Through AI-driven moderation, we gather all discussions on the same topic in one place, allowing us to reflect what society truly wants. No more scattered polls or fragmented opinions—just real, verifiable public opinion.

We’ve integrated three key innovations into our platform:

  • Non-duplicable Polls: Each poll is unique, recorded transparently on the blockchain.
  • Blockchain Transparency: Every vote is secure and visible to all.
  • Vote-to-Earn Model: Participants and creators are rewarded for engaging with the platform.

Referendum’s core goal is to establish a single, trusted source for gauging public sentiment on key social and political issues.
