RepubliK Joins Forces with TON to Simplify Web3 for Social Media Users

[PRESS RELEASE – Singapore, Singapore, December 19th, 2023]

RepubliK, a leading SocialFi platform, is excited to announce its landmark partnership with The Open Network (TON), signaling a major stride in its mission to bridge the Web2 and Web3 worlds. This strategic alliance, set to begin in Q2 2024, is poised to revolutionize the user experience by providing a seamless and efficient platform for token transactions, addressing key challenges faced by Web2 users in the Web3 domain.

This collaboration is central to RepubliK’s user-centric approach, which is focused on providing an intuitive experience akin to mainstream social media apps. Registration is simplified through email or Single Sign-On options like Gmail or Facebook. The platform’s UI/UX and content interaction functions are intentionally designed to resonate with users familiar with platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Adding to the engagement factor, RepubliK has integrated a gamified XP system with various badge tiers, rewarding user participation and contribution.

RepubliK’s strategy includes a selective centralization in certain areas, such as its AI-driven content delivery system. This decision stems from feedback by early Web2 creators, prioritizing a streamlined user experience over full decentralization.

Additional key features of RepubliK include:

• The option for users to pay gas fees in RPK tokens, making transactions more accessible for those not familiar with ETH.
• A diverse range of monetization tools, including a tipping feature, forthcoming paywalled content, in-app NFT minting, live-streaming, and creator tokens.
• An in-app governance and community voting system for $RPK holders, allowing users to have a say in platform development and to gain insights into audience preferences.

Since its inception, RepubliK has demonstrated impressive growth, evidenced by its expansion to over 1.5 million registered users and a substantial increase in social media presence. This growth highlights the platform’s appeal to both Web2 and Web3 users.

About The Open Network:

The Open Network (TON) is a fast, secure and scalable blockchain and network project, capable of handling millions of transactions per second if necessary, and both user-friendly and service provider-friendly.
