TL;DR
RepubliK is developing crypto tools for creators that turn online interactions into financially beneficial games. This new take on social platforms mixes a few elements we discussed in our Pop Social Review, while also fostering a new environment where XP equals cold hard cash. Already fighting the onslaught of bots that have ascended to this new ecosystem RepubliK is betting on its community to help weed out the bad apples and make decisions that propel the project past this problem, getting ready to release unique “Creator” tokens and enable valued streaming for influencers. Does RepubliK have any chance of survival in a pay-to-play landscape?
“Creator Economy” has become quite the buzzword for these new social-driven projects. RepubliK is no different when it comes to that.
What is different is the level of detail that RepubliK has already discussed when talking about how to gamify users. A word that can come across as rather ugly, given the context companies have been using it for the past decade.
What can be seen as trickery is just a simple term to relay interactions that are driven by the need to get ahead and complete a certain amount of tasks.
Categorically monopolized by large corporations, only those who are creators know the true cost of doing business in the current landscape. RepubliK is hoping it can change that landscape for the better by offering better options for monetizing content and sharing it with others.
What is RepubliK Crypto?
RepubliK is designed to be a brand recognition and self-servicing advertising platform geared toward capturing well-known artists and content creators to help them distribute their message and creations to a decentralized audience.
RepubliK hopes that by opening up the lines of communication between influencers and their audience, they’ll give everyone the ability to interact with their favorite artist, actor, or model.
If you’ve ever used or heard of a similar service like Cameo, then you’ll understand how this process works already. If not, it essentially works like this: You find your favorite personality on the RepubliK app and engage with them by paying a certain amount of tokens. This can include anything from simple questions to requesting tailor-made content designed specifically for you.
Since RepubliK is a decentralized project it allows a new level of interaction between creators and their audience that can be found on Patreon and in other similar services.
Currently, in the Beta phase, RepubliK hasn’t rolled these services out quite yet. Launching an early version of the app earlier this year, RepubliK was pushed back to the drawing board by an onslaught of bots looking to gobble up as many RPK tokens as possible through the XP scoring system. This is something that RepubliK has addressed and is hoping to work through by identifying real users from those looking to game the system.
How does RepubliK Work?
Everything on RepubliK is measured by the activity of users and distributed back as Experience Points (XP). Just by logging in every day you can earn a certain level of XP towards recurring Airdrops, more on that a bit later.
The Twitter-like social media platform is just the gateway to collecting as much XP as possible. Although in its current form, a lot is missing from the…
