Foresting: reward for creative content on the blockchain

The need for humans to interact actively with each other in an effective and fast manner is one of the major achievements of the internet. The option of the manner of the communication is a new factor introduced by the digital revolution. With this new technology, individuals can send messages over long distances within seconds and it will be received instantly at the other end, across the globe. The electronic mail was the first source of interaction and since then, many more other interactive platforms were introduced as well. The development of a new form of interaction that does not involve one individual with another but amongst groups of individuals started with the establishment of social media platforms. These platforms have so many options for individuals to share their thoughts and those of others including having the opportunity to like other people’s actions. This projected an opportunity for internet users to share their daily thoughts, lives and activities through these social interaction networks.

The Facebook platform is one of the most powerful social media networks in the world. It’s influence have grown since its introduction in 2004 from Mark Zuckerberg. The influence it holds on being able to reach to other people through goodwill and encouragement messages is unassailable.

The social media platform is a strong tool used by governments of the world for elections and government to people interactions. This centralized method of socializing online was indeed a tremendous success. Today, we have others like WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram and many more. Issues with Central mode of Social Media The fact that individuals use social media came at a huge price unknown to the users. The users get access to the sleek features of these social networks while in return have their content hoarded into huge storage silos of the social networks and used for content adverts. This operations creates huge revenue for the platform at the detriment of their users. This means that the User Generated Content of their users becomes their properties from which they make loads of revenue from. This creates a parasitic ecosystem for effective interaction benefits. To solve this huge divide, the Foresting project was established to get real value for users contents.

The Foresting Network is a decentralized solution to the issue of unfair data hoarding from centralized social networks. This is actualized through the value distribution of all contents generated by users on the network. People can share their day to day activities and coordinate it in such a way that they get rewarded for active interaction. The Foresting Network is divided into 3 equal but distinct parts to create an effective and useful ecosystem. These parts are:

1. Foresting blockchain rewarding Social Media
2. Foresting Bank
3. Foresting Lab.
