Introduction
Social media platforms years ago were all about writing and sharing memories of you for likes, till the introduction of blockchain decade ago. I remember when my friends used to chase people around for not liking their pictures and other sorts of things they put on their page. Social media platforms made them yearn for likes always and I remember very well that they will be laughing at those who never had many likes on the things they post about.
I was always the quiet type who knew nothing about what they always do or say till I finally signed up on Facebook. I then started to understand their concept of social media. It was fun at first until I started to see the various activities on Facebook as boring. You will always post whatever you like and wait for people to just like them without getting any reward on that. Social media was just consuming data without giving you anything in return.
I got to know of blockchain technology late September last year and I must say, I saw I different world of social media (steemit) that rewards users with cryptocurrency. Today I am here to present to you, a new platform on the blockchain that rewards you for your social activities, Snax.
What is Snax?
Snax is a crypto token on the blockchain that is been rewarded to you for just been active on your favourite social media. On Snax, you get paid for interacting more on your social media platforms. Currently, twitter and steem are the two social media platforms that allow you to get rewarded with Snax tokens but I know in time many social platforms like Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, Youtube, among others will be added.
Snax is really the new blockchain platform that will provide value for all social interaction on any social media platform. Snax as a blockchain platform allows developers to create decentralized social applications (social dApps) that give users full control of whatever they do.
