WHAT IS SAPIEN?

Sapien is more than just a platform - this is a movement that encourages users to take back control of their social experiences. By utilizing blockchain technology, Sapien is a fundamental paradigm shift in how we interact, influence and transact in online communities.

Our Vision

Sapien is a democratic, tokenized, and reputation-based social news platform that is able to reward millions of digital content creators without a centralized intermediary. Sapien is supported by utility tokens, SPN, and was built to provide a smooth user experience that provides the benefits and power of blockchain and decentralization to the masses.

Problem

According to a study conducted by Stanford University, there were more than 30,000,000 counterfeit goods distributed in the 2016 presidential election.26 In this era of false news and alternative facts, it is not surprising that subscriptions for more reliable sources have increased. New York Times revenue, for example, reached $ 1 billion for the first time in 2017.32 People need access to quality content without worrying about the authenticity of publishers and journalists behind it. Revenue generation must move from a manipulative "eyeball" business model to a more sustainable and strong model. Transparency is very important in news, because news content directly influences the masses by motivating our beliefs and behavior.

Solution

Sapien will utilize blockchain technology in a multi-pronged attack on fake news:

Identity on the Blockchain

Reputation in Tribes

Design Something At stake

Machine learning

People's Wisdom

SPN Token Utility

Tokens will be in the form of Staked and Unstaked. The token at stake will give the user platform functionality. Unsaved tokens can be stored in a wallet that is compliant with an external ERC-20.

SPN is used for, among others:

Access the Sapien platform.

Digital creators prizes that produce measurable values, determined by community consensus.

Allow holders to purchase physical and virtual goods, content, and services in the tokenized market.

Share ad revenue with users who choose to see ads. By risking more tokens, users can get a greater share of the revenue they generate for Sapien.

Power a Democratized Autonomous Platform (DAP), allows users to participate in organizational decisions and forms a product road map with a proposal system.

Sapien Platform

Sapien is a Web3 social news platform that gives users control over their data, respect

content creators, and against fake news. Web3 technology (eg Blockchain, IPFS, web

torrents) will serve as the basic infrastructure for creating

highly adaptable and democratized social networks without centralized intermediaries.

Sapien Network

The Sapien network consists of the Sapien platform, market, API integration, and third-party applications, all connected and powered by SPN, an Ethere-based utility token.

See the attached chart below for how Proof-of-Value works

Core Values

Democracy

Users of democracy must have the final say on their community and must be given incentives to contribute to them.

Privacy

Privacy-targeted ads are beneficial, but inherently flawed because they exploit user data and violate user privacy.

Free Speech Speeches

Free is a basic principle that must be protected online with annoying tools.

Capability Customization

Customization Each user must be able to customize the social experience to their liking.

Establishing a Consensus Proof of Value Protocol

In essence, SPN allows us to collaboratively differentiate high-quality content across the Sapien Network. Evidence Mechanism Its innate value will encourage quality contribution and value the user. When user contributions are evaluated throughout the network, they will collect scores that reflect their contributions

reputation. This will allow the specific expertise of domain users to be reflected in their communities and tribes. In Sapien, reputation will reduce trolling and reduce the spread of false news. Reputation scores can be asked from the network and need not be limited to the Sapien platform.

Build a Strong Market and Contribute Users

Content creators must be valued fairly for their time and the original content they add to the platform. Users will be able to tip each other for posts or comments and even receive payments in SPN from Sapien for posts that have created measurable values. By allowing users to pay each other this way, we will support a supportive environment

quality content and free content creators from dependence on ad revenue.

Decentralized markets are also planned on the road map to make it possible

SPN holders to purchase exclusive premium content, services, physical merchandise,

and virtual goods, including themes, integration, and features.

BUSINESS MODEL

Our goal is to create a sustainable business model that aligns incentives and

priority of SPN token holders, platform users, and company shareholders.

SALE ACCOUNT TOKEN

We hold sales of our tokens from 31 January 2018 - 15 February 2018. Users

exchange ETH with the SPN utility token, which gives access to the alpha version

from the Sapien platform.

Crowdsale Sapien was a huge success, increasing more than 12,000 ETH only in

two hours. In total, the team collected more than 20,000 ETH from more than 5000 users

come from 142 different countries.

Conclusion

By eliminating transaction fees for users who have staked SPN on the platform, we will forget the benefits of increasing the utility and longevity of SPN tokens. Our goal is to ensure that platform and company growth is positively correlated. The Sapien Market will help build a token SPN economy, using the power of the Blockchain to open millions of dollars worth of virtual goods, content and services.
