About Share
Share is a decentralized Web3 publishing platform where authors can publish articles as NFT and readers can interact with their favorite authors !
Built with Lens Protocol 🌱 and Polygon Network 🌐
Why Share 🤔?
Today, it is difficult for an author to be properly remunerated and to have a good reader base without having to disguise the content.
Authors must also juggle between several writing platforms (Medium, Substack, Twitter ...). It's a waste of time and energy to have to publish on each platform, to advertise for each platform when they publish.
Classic platforms have a terrible lack of incentive to share content, only the possibility to have a reading list, a link to share writings on other platforms and that's it.
Moreover, today's Web2 writing platforms (Wattpad, Medium, Scribay) suffer from all the problems of centralized platforms/social media.
• Capture and resale of personal data (targeted advertising ...)
• Non respect of copyrights
• No reliable means of payment
• Lack of strong links between authors and readers
• Spam/Bots
• Single point of failure
What will we solve and offer to users 🤗?
We offer a simple platform for publishing articles (on Lens protocol).
Authors can write articles with a block editor and DALLE-2 API for covers, configure how they want to monetize the article and the article is then published and shared to the whole Lens ecosystem (Lenster,Lensta,Orb ...).
Readers can then collect articles, up/down vote, acces to token-gated content and most importantly Curate to Earn.
Curate to earn is at the core of the application's operation, it allows readers to share the most relevant content but also to earn passive income.
It's a virtuous circle for the authors, the readers and for the quality of the content put forward by the application.
• Personal Information/Privacy : We do not collect any personal information, a signature on your wallet is enough to connect you. We don't do targeted advertising.
• A new way for authors to make a living from their writing : convert and sell your article as NFT and set price for collect via Lens protocol.
• Exclusive relationship between authors and readers : Exclusive links between authors and readers who own NFTs of their favorite authors (Token gated content)
• A platform that belongs to its users : Thanks to our DAO, we want everyone to be able to be an actor and give their opinion on the evolution of the platform.
• Respect of copyrights : The publications are on-chain, we can guarantee the copyrights and have a proof of anteriority thanks to the transaction hash.
