11. The problem:
you can’t distinguish between members and
non-members of token-based interest groups in
online discussions.
‘She is my friend on FB but what if her cryptoeconomic interests are
different than mine?’
‘We both own 10% of the same token and he has a website. How do
I find it?’
13. Facebook answers the question:
what/who should I pay attention to based on my
social links (same friends, interests)
userfeeds applications will answer the question:
what/who should I pay attention to based on my
cryptoeconomic links (same tokens owned,
same economic incentives)
14. userfeeds.io is a platform for content
discovery applications based on
economic ranking factors.

20. Endorsements and Backings
don’t transfer any monetary value between
accounts…
… they transfer ‘reputation’
and subsequently ‘attention’
22. token
more attention on the
token
Better Curation
demand for token
increases, price goes up
early curators get
rewarded
Network
Effect
Hypothesis
More ‘eyeballs’ traslates to
higher valuation of the
network and is reflected in
token’s price.
24. These are NOT social networks.
Our tools will enable alternative curation of
existing social networks
Q: Is this a ‘decentralised social network’?
Motivations of curators will be primarily
economic.
Economic networks:
biased, subjective, self-promoting
