Refiq

Refiq is a decentralized social media platform, designed to empower content creators, moderators, and users by promoting digital free speech and monetization of contributions. Built on the principles of blockchain technology, Refiq leverages the power of NFT tokens to create unique topics, where the owner can set policies and appoint moderators.

Each topic on Refiq is an NFT token, ensuring its uniqueness. The owner of this token has the authority to set the policy for the topic and appoint moderators. This gives the owner control over the topic's direction and moderation, ensuring that the content aligns with the topic's intent.

Users on Refiq can post content to a topic, comment on posts, and interact with other users. This encourages a dynamic and engaging community where users can freely share their thoughts and ideas. The decentralization aspect of Refiq ensures that user interactions are not subject to censorship, promoting freedom of speech.

One of the standout features of Refiq is the ability for users to monetize their contributions. When a user awards a post or comment by sending ETH to the smart contract, the contract splits the money according to the topic policy among the topic owner, moderators, and the author of the content. This innovative approach incentivizes high-quality content creation and active moderation, benefiting all contributors.

Refiq's creation is driven by two main values: allowing content creators and moderators to monetize their contributions, and promoting digital free speech through decentralized ownership of content and moderation. These values address the common issues found in traditional social media platforms, such as censorship, lack of user control, and inadequate compensation for content creators and moderators.

In conclusion, Refiq is a revolutionary platform that redefines social media by empowering users and promoting free speech. It provides a decentralized space where users can freely express their thoughts, engage with other users, and monetize their contributions, all while maintaining control over their content.

Our smart contract, deployed on the Scroll blockchain, manages topic ownership, moderation policy, and post and comment broadcasting. The smart contract also handles the splitting of awards according to the topic policy. The content data is stored and retrieved with the help of web3.storage. Each user can enter their token in the application, and posts and comments they create will be uploaded and stored on the web3.storage. The events of our smart contract are indexed using The Graph protocol, providing the application with easily queryable data. This allows the Android application to display the data to the user in a friendly interface, similar to other social media platforms. By using Scroll, we've been able to leverage the high-speed and low-cost blockchain for our smart contracts, resulting in a more efficient and user-friendly platform. The Graph has been instrumental in making our contract events easily accessible to the application, improving the overall user experience. Filecoin's web3.storage has offered a decentralized storage solution, ensuring that our users' data remains secure and accessible.
