Hello lovely people of Steemit, I'm sure you've probably seen some posts floating around about the new social network called ONO. The release date was pushed back and is currently slated for mid July.
What is Ono?
If you already know you can skip this section, but for those who don't I'll give you a quick rundown.
In theory Ono has many similarities to Steemit. It is a decentralized social network but will run on the EOS network. It will reward users for their content in ONOTS. Despite these similarities there are a few differences:
- Ono will have an end to end encrypted chat built in
- It will be geared towards being more of a social network than a blogging site meaning there will be the ability to choose who you share content with with friend/public options
- Ono will support evergreen content, payouts will occur daily but posts can be voted forever. This is great for content creators who make timeless work!
- Identity verification- I have seen some concerns floating around about the need to verify. I understand that many people want to use platforms anonymously for various reasons. On Ono both options are there. Verified users will have increased reputation and ability to vote in referendums. This mechanism is in place to prevent one person creating 50 accounts and having more sway.
- Ads- There will be an advertising market in place but users may choose to opt in/out. That way advertising money goes straight to content creators if they choose to participate.
TLDR Video:

I am excited to have another venue for all the amazing content creators here to grow, network and get supported for their content!
