Launched in 2020, Reddit's blockchain-based community points system awards users based on the quality of their posts. Community points shifted to the Arbitrum Nova blockchain in 2021.
"We're excited to partner with Reddit to continue their work to empower online communities to harness the power of blockchain," FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried said in the release.
Niraj Sheth, a software engineer at Reddit, added that the platform is looking to "introduce new ways to use Reddit, and decentralized, self-sustaining blockchain technology allows us to do that."
Reddit's move mirrored rival social media platform Twitter's (TWTR) approach, which integrated a blockchain rewards system by introducing a bitcoin tipping feature earlier this year.
