Zappl Feature idea: "Charge" posts with Steem and SBD

in #zappl • 7 years ago (edited)

Similar to how steemit.com has the promoted tab which you can promote content to with SBD, it would be great if Zappl had the same concept on their platform, but also allowed STEEM to be burned as well by sending it to @null. This would allow people to use their liquid STEEM to promote content, and have the effect of reducing the STEEM supply, pushing the valuation upwards by increasing scarcity.

Edit based on discussion below:

  • It would be great if a portion of the assets used to "charge" a post on Zappl were allocated to the ZAPPL UIA buyback mechanism; this would increase demand for ZAPPL UIAs. Perhaps 25% of the value.
  • The Zappl team could also take a cut of the assets used to "charge" posts in order to fund their efforts. Another 25%
  • The remaining 50% of the assets used to charge a post could be burned similar to the existing promotion mechanism on Steemit.

    This is a great idea @robrigo. Could help @zappl get funding without resorting to outside advertising as well.

    Thanks @nepd. That would be another interesting variation of the feature; I think I would prefer if the STEEM / SBD was destroyed (as to benefit all holders of STEEM), however it could be split multiple ways, where tokens used to charge up content on Zappl can be used for the following purposes:

    • 1/3 of the tokens are burned (taken out of supply)
    • 1/3 of the tokens are used to buyback ZAPPL UIAs and take them out of supply, increasing the valuation of their token
    • 1/3 of the tokens are retained by the Zappl team to fund their efforts.

    Since the Zappl team can specify a percentage of post rewards to take a cut from all Zappl content anyways, I'd prefer to see 50/50 between burning and buying back ZAPPL assets instead; this has the added effect of incentivizing ZAPPL UIA holders to "charge" content on Zappl and also increases demand for holding ZAPPL UIAs.

    I like the 1/3 idea. Fair for ZAPPL, fair for STEEM investors and fair for ZAPPL investors.

      The idea is good, as long as you do have Steem liquidity... This may very well keep away a lot of users that would otherwise post on there, if they had the liquid. If the promote aspect of it rises up, then at least it gives the option and keeps it open, especially for the ones that have been involved on this platform and have them selves invested here.

      Looking forward to seeing the results of this project coming. All for one and one for all! Namaste :)

      It's another front end for Steem that a team is developing, but it will be more similar to Twitter than Reddit.
