Æternity, a public, open-source blockchain protocol that allows a platform for next-generation decentralized applications and high scalability, declared on Thursday the launch of Superhero, a peer-to-peer social sharing project for patronage, tips, and sponsoring. The platform was distinctly developed on the Æternity blockchain.

According to Æternity, Superhero allows users to obtain exposure to their content and to earn tokens without yielding personal data with third parties or charging users for entering and hosting any content on the Superhero project.

“The Superhero platform empowers people from every industry to support others without intermediaries through the Superhero decentralized application powered by Æternity blockchain – a next generation, open-source, permissionless blockchain. The application allows supporters to send value as a reward for quality content contributions.”

Æternity further wrote that content creator, from artists, developers, and educators to medical groups, environmentalists, and non-profits may enter Superhero to bestow content and gain rewards through tips, donations, and crowdfunding from supporters.

It was noted that users might obtain tips straight from supporters. In contrast, supporters can send tips straight to their preferred creators, causes, and projects without third-party data sharing or costly transaction fees. The fee is less than one percent from each transaction is distributed to a miner. Nevertheless, no other fee, no wait-time for transfers, no one collecting or selling user data, and no third-party control or IP ownership.

While sharing more details about the platform, Yanislav Malahov, Founder of Æternity, stated in a statement,

“Now more than ever, we believe in the mission of empowering people to support other people. Content monetization has historically been a tug-of-war between third party advertisers, data thieves, host platforms and lastly the creators themselves. Superhero is putting the control back in the hands of the people, making it easier than ever to support creators from every industry. Furthermore, via timestamping each tip, URL and website on aeternity blockchain we created the potential to integrate the full public web into aeternity blockchain via its oracles and a reputation network of authenticated users and transactions.”
