xLog Weekly Summary #11 - Week 12, 2023

Patron and Tip

We have finally taken the first step in helping creators earn income, laying the foundation for our subsequent larger plans, which involve assisting creators in collecting blog sponsorships and article tips through blockchain smart contracts. We have added tip entry points at the top of blogs and the bottom of articles. Clicking on them will bring up a tipping popup, where you can choose the amount and frequency.

At the same time, we have initiated the Phase One 10,000 USDC Creator Incentive Plan. Through this tipping feature, we will distribute incentives to outstanding blogs and articles.

In fact, we have already distributed 900 USDC in incentives for the first week. If you have received it, please leave a comment below to let us know. If you haven't received it yet, don't worry, as we still have 9,100 USDC waiting for you. So, why not start writing an article now?
