Redefining Content Service: ReadON’s Mid-Year Journey
ReadON is a Web2-compatible content service layer, grounded in a decentralized content consensus design and a socially private protocol based on ZK technology. We provide developers and participants in the content ecosystem with Web2-compatible ownership solutions, curation consensus data, and robust user privacy protection services. Our initiative is aimed at tackling the issues of centralized content platforms monopolizing creators’ work ownership and consumers’ data, controlling information dissemination, shaping user cognition, and reaping excessive profits.
Thanks to relentless dedication, ReadON has positioned itself as one of the most exhaustive indexes for Web3-related content services, supported by a strong community consensus. Over the past few months, we’ve achieved significant milestones that reflect our unwavering commitment to innovation. Here’s a recap of our remarkable journey.
Community Building
A strong community is the engine behind our ongoing progress. Here are some of our accomplishments and endeavors in this direction:
- Our inaugural ReadONBetaBox Season 1 event was a runaway success, generating enthusiastic responses and high participation from community members. Encouraged by this outcome, we’ve launched ReadONBetaBox Season 2, and we can’t wait to welcome more Catto holders onboard.
- We executed our first Catto Topic Part Voting & Design event to roaring success. Looking ahead, we plan to make this a regular event, aiming to unlock the creativity of our community fully.
- As part of our strategy to roll out features laid out in our whitepaper, we introduced the PICK feature. The PICK feature empowers all users to influence content popularity and drive content sharing. Within 10 days of its launch, the PICK feature has already clocked 17k on-chain interactions.
- True to our commitment, we have initiated NFT Voucher Redemption for OGs and early contributors. Presently, the total number of Catto NFTs stands at 419, with a base price of 0.379ETH. The first 4-star Catto NFT was traded at 2.88ETH. ReadON NFT has been highlighted in the “Memberships” section of OpenSea, which is a testament to our community’s vibrant engagement and expectations for Catto NFT.
- As part of our drive to expand our community base and influence, we’ve been building communities for various language areas:
Japanese:
i) Twitter: @Readon Japan @MorokitchBD
ii) 🇯🇵Line Group
Southeast Asia:
i) Twitter: @ReadON Bangladesh
ii) Telegram group: 🇧🇩Bangladesh 🇮🇳India 🇮🇩Indonesia 🇻🇳Vietnam
Our efforts have garnered support from active contributors worldwide, including Russia, Turkey, South Korea, Nigeria, among others. We’re excited about reaching more people through these channels and sharing our mission with them.
- Hosting on average two Community Calls per month has enabled us to maintain a direct communication channel between the ReadON team and the community. This approach not only helps to address questions but also fosters greater community involvement. Plus, it provides valuable insights into the community’s needs and expectations.
- The ReadON Roundtable AMA series has been a great success. These sessions, featuring professional guests, provide a platform for our community members to discuss and share trending topics. Since its inception, the ReadON Roundtable has held nine sessions, with an average audience of 2k and a peak of 5k.
- Our efforts to improve our advertisement package and corresponding infrastructure have started to yield results. We’re now generating external advertising income, marking a significant stride towards positive growth.
