Dragonchain<\/a> announced the official introduction of a social media platform that incentivizes users for the creation and evaluation of quality content.<\/p>\n

A social media platform without bad actors<\/h2>\n

Dragonchain<\/a> is a technology firm that offers blockchain as a service. Its hybrid blockchain platform combines high performance and ease of use, which allows enterprises to build and deploy smart contracts in a matter of minutes. The American-based startup helps companies break into blockchain faster, without forcing them to change their existing IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n

After a prolonged period of beta-testing, Dragonchain launched Dragon Den on Jan. 7, 2020. This is a social media platform that aims to counter fake news using blockchain technology. By allowing users to reward content creators and content evaluators, Dragon Den is set out to be \u201cfree of disinformation, bad actors, spam, and fake accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dragon Den\u2019s website<\/a> reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cDragon Den\u2019s reward model focuses on evaluating content within individual communities, grouped by a common topic or area of interest. Each community decides if content has merit.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Creator Works, the brainchild of Josh Dirks and Chris Pirillo, teamed up with Dragonchain to become the first of a series of vertical businesses built on top of Dragon Den. The idea is to spin-off Den as an independent entity, which will then create new businesses and projects.<\/p>\n

Lawrence Lerner<\/a>, the President of Consulting Services at Drangonchain, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe this is the foot to the accelerator that will drive massive adoption for Dragon Den. Creator Works leverages the power of Dragon Den and distributed ledger to create the next generation of social media and distribution.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The partnership with Creator Works will provide content creators with a series of tools that ensure their audience, content, and rights have been owned by them. Users will be able to broadcast their content through multiple social media channels and Dragon Den will host its own media outlet as part of the rollout.<\/p>\n

More details will become available during the Dragonchain Performance Demonstration event<\/a> on Jan 7, 2020, at 9:00 PST.<\/p>\n
