User Rewards

Quality content is essential in order for a social network to grow and thrive -- it is the driving force behind attracting new users and making sure they stick around. It is one of the major reasons tech giants like Facebook and Google have accrued so much power. However, the creators of this content are, objectively, not being fairly rewarded for their efforts. They do the heavy lifting yet reap none of the benefits.

Gomezi is changing this dynamic with its contribution economy. Creators earn tokens for producing quality content that drives traffic and receives votes, comments, subscribers and Reminds (the Gomezi sharing function). Additionally, creators earn Gomezi tokens by referring new users to the site. This equals an added benefit of an accelerated network effect.

Another contribution that is equally valuable to the growth of a social network is user attention. From a content creator’s perspective, a network is only worth the engagement it provides. For this reason, it is important to also measure user attention from a ‘time spent’ perspective when determining a user’s contribution to the network in a given day. An activity-based crypto-reward mechanism is valuable to both active users and the network itself considering that monthly active users (MAU), daily active users (DAU) and hourly active users (HAU) are essential metrics to quantifying growth and stickiness of modern social applications.
