Sapien is a social network created for humans. The platform seeks to create community, protocols, and tools for the future generation of human association.
According to the whitepaper, the Sapien platform's team identified the significance of social networking for developing the human species. During ancient times, the primary goal of interaction was survival. However, people have numerous reasons to interact in modern times and thus have sustained the age-old habit of socializing. Therefore, the Sapien team believed it would be viable to merge the human needs of socializing with the power of blockchain, offering humans a unique authority over their social experience through digital models. The team aimed at creating a democratized social forum for its users with a flexible cryptocurrency. Sapien is a private and decentralized social network formed on a base of self-governing and independent communities known as tribes.
The users can subscribe to various branches to remain updated with the posts from their acquaintances and people across the world. Also, the platform aims to allow users to add their friends, share any post, write comments, create groups, and expand their horizons. The chat interface is another prominent feature of the platform that seeks to offer an engaging and dynamic user experience through joining voice and text channels.
The native token of the platform is SPN, which is built on the Ethereum blockchain and is an ERC20 token. The use of SPN tokens is to reward users for their participation. Also, the users can utilize the token for social actions such as comments, posting, and voting. Another token usage is in the trade of virtual or physical products and premium content in the Sapien marketplace. Additionally, the premium content creators receive SPN tokens as an award in the Sapien ecosystem. Moreover, on staking SPN tokens, the users receive rewards for their contributions.
