⭐ Curation

This is the next task on our list and we are currently in the process of automating the process as much as possible with the intention of going live before April.

For people wondering what the future may hold, it comes in two ways.

Originally, for those who read the whitepaper, we had earmarked 15 thousand medals weekly for distribution according to set achievements, but that is based on a larger user base which we will be building up to. This was noted in the whitepaper for clarity, with further "Medals" set aside for ongoing curation.

Weekly Achievements

To start our weekly achievements, there will be 5K medals up for distribution in four categories.

$1

  • Most external views - 2K
  • Most views - 1K
  • Most engaged post - 1K
  • Top commenter - 1K

Any attempts to game the system will be considered abuse and users will be ineligible for future rewards or contests.

Content curation

The second way to earn medals will be from our seasoned team of curators and sports fans that will have the ability to drop "Medals" right into your lap for great content.

These OG sports fans will be active members of our community and can reward great content as they go about their business.

It will be stake-based to an extent, as the amount of medals awarded will differ based on your premium tiers.

  • Platinum tier - 150 Medals
  • Gold tier - 100 Medals
  • Silver/bronze tier - 50 Medals

🏅 Team thoughts

Some people might look at this and think that we are doing things very strangely, and they would be right.

We are trying to build a sustainable project that lasts for years and grows exponentially over time.

Part of that will be to keep our distribution measured and logical while rewarding committed users and people that are adding value to the project.

We have plans going forward that may or may not include ad revenue, a mobile app, and a stakedrop, all being planned towards long-term value and expansion.

Premium tiers will be eligible for more features in future developments, and as usual, all plans here are subject to change depending on feasibility and economic circumstances.

We want to build a strong community first and foremost. That is the aim of our team and the whole point of social media. Get users, integrate them and retain them. If we can make it fun and interesting here then all the rest will fall into place along the way.

Well, @blanchy @sportsblock, it looks like I’ve joined at just the right time because things are about to get exciting. To be honest, we really needed this project—whenever I used to visit Hive, the few sports-related projects that existed didn’t take it very seriously, but you guys are really taking it seriously. Well, I think we’ll grow little by little, and hopefully support will keep growing as time goes on. I don’t quite understand the whole medal thing yet—I’ll have to look into it more carefully.

You have a great project here. As a father of an athlete, I think it might be interesting to actually propose to athletes to share their content, on how they train and progress. They could earn a little side income to fund the costs of their sport while doing so and they could invite people to follow them which would be a win for them and for the platform as well.

In time we want to start onboarding sports fan rather than crypto users.
So we need to build a good experience for first time users like your child and friends.

That's the long term goal of the site and hopefully we work towards that over the year.
