LikeCoin is an infrastructure to decentralize publishing.

Decentralized Archive

LikeCoin plugin publishes your posts to IPFS through Matters.news for peer-to-peer distribution. In the next stage, you will also be able to register your content an International Standard Content Number, ISCN, a specification we drafted in collaboration with the industry. Borrowed from the concept of ISBN for books, ISCN is a unique number assigned to content such as articles and images, and comes with metadata such as author, publisher, content address, license terms and creation footprint. Stored on LikeCoin chain, ISCN is immutable and censorship resilient.

Decentralized rewards

LikeCoin plugin attaches a LikeCoin button beneath your content. Without setting up a paywall, every Like by readers is turned into measurable rewards in LikeCoin tokens. The Civic Liker movement encourages readers to contribute USD5/mo to reward creativity and journalism, while the matching fund, distributed according to the Likes of all users, doubles the rewarding pool. With the decentralized rewards mechanism, every Like counts.

Decentralized Curation

Apart from rewarding creators as a Liker, readers may go further to become a Content Jockey. Content Jockeys help distribute creative stories and insightful commentaries with Super Likes, which are purposely designed to be scarce to cut out noise from signals. When a story gets popular, LikeCoin’s unique distribution footprint rewards both creator and Content Jockey, creating an all win situation for the content ecosystem.

LikeCoin tokens can be exchanged into USD, TWD or cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin on exchanges such as Liquid, DigiFinex and BitAsset. Information of the LikeCoin token (LIKE) can be found in CoinMarketCap and Big Dipper blockchain explorer.
