Paywalled Blogging Site

Quality content usually resides behind paywalls, sometimes rightfully so as the creaters need a source of income. In today's internet, getting paid through running adds on blogs have an added security concern and sends away potential readers.

This solution presents a blogging platform, where users pay a one time minimum amount of 1 DAI to access the site forever. The capital received isn't directly distributed among content creators, and is instead deposited to compound where it gains a consistent interest. The profit from this fund is distributed proportionally among all content creators. How does one become a creator? To maintain quality of posts, just posting an article is not enough. Users can support writers if they find their content engaging by using the Support Creator option.

Process

Deployed at Rinkeby Testnet.

  • Users are expected to deposite 1 DAI when they subscribe to the blog.
    • If you don't have the time, just send some ETH to dai.inotime.eth and instantly recieve back some DAI! (0.01 ETH ~ 1 DAI)
    • It uses UNISWAP V2 for the exachange, contract deployed here if you want to take a look.
  • This is deposited at Compound to gain further interest.
  • Anyone can post articles, and readers can support writers through the platform. After a user gets a certain number of likes (currently 1), they advance to the position of content creator.
  • Profits each month are distributed proportionally among all Content Creators.
