Tipster

Inspiration

In a world where web 3.0 is referred to as the vision of future technology and which is, we reasoned among ourselves to build a social rewarding platform that seeks to reward users for their posts by the way of tips in crypto. In this regard making everyone on the platform benefit from posts as well.

What it does

Tipster is a social rewarding platform that seeks to reward users for their posts by the way of tips in crypto. A user makes a post on the platform which is available to the community and anyone in the community can show impression to the post by giving crypto in the form of tips. The platform comes with search page where users can explore posts made by other users and can also make a search for a particular post. There is also a profile visit where a user can click on a particular identicon by a user to see other posts by that user. The platform also comes with my profile which shows all posts made by yourself should you find yourself on the platform. There is also a chatting side of the platform. The chat side allow all users to communicate together in a single group and this is to allow users on the platform socialize. The chats are available on the platform for a specified period. For testing purposes, use ropsten testnet.
