Inspiration
In today’s digital economy, we saw how content creators drive massive cultural and economic value, yet traditional platforms rarely give them or their audiences a fair share of that impact. Creators are often underpaid, and fans remain passive consumers with little opportunity to take part in the success they help build.
What it does
ValueShare introduces a new ecosystem powered by our Proof-of-Engagement (PoE) algorithm.
- Measures engagement quality (watch time, shares, boosts).
- Dynamically calculates a Quality Score.
- Grows the prize pool exponentially with real audience activity.
For creators: Your rewards scale with your real influence. For viewers: Boosting content gives you a direct stake in its success.
In short: fans become investors, creators become partners.
How we built it
- Ideation: Looked at how current creator platforms work and identified gaps.
- Algorithm: Made a basic PoE formula using watch time, shares, and boosts.
- Prototype: Built a simple front-end demo where fans can boost videos and see prize pool growth.
Challenges we ran into
- Finding a fair way to measure engagement without overcomplicating it.
- Making sure the prototype works smoothly with limited data.
- Keeping the reward idea easy to explain and understand.
- Showing that boosting can be fun and rewarding, not just another “like.”
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Designed a simple version of the PoE scoring logic.
- Built a prototype interface to show how boosting could affect rewards.
- Managed to explain the concept in a way that’s easy for non-technical users to get.
What we learned
- How to design fair value distribution models in digital platforms.
- That good UI/UX is critical for user adoption.
- Lynx framework
What's next for ViralShare
- Adding new signals (e.g., sentiment analysis from comments).
- Testing with real creators through pilot programs.
- Exploring tokenization so boosts and stakes can become tradeable.
