The Home of Crypto, A New Era in Social Media. Get rewarded to post, comment, and share. It Empowering Content Creators & Fostering Community. Uptrennd is a newly launched social media platform that shares a large amount of resemblance to Reddit, that has been experiencing explosive growth recently. The platform boasts a core cryptocurrency incentive structure that rewards both content creators and users who engage content alike. It has a native ERC-20 token called ‘1-UP’ that is built around the core upvoting system, and serves as the platform’s digital currency. Uptrennd has also implemented innovative gamification features with a leveling up system that allows users to earn increased rewards from their upvoted content submissions & comments as they level up their account with the native ‘1Up’ token. The project was self-funded by Jeff Kirdeikis who started a group called Cryptocurrency Investing (CCI) on Facebook which boasts an impressive 133k Users as of writing. Uptrennd did not do an initial coin offering (ICO) in order to raise funds, it is a grass-roots self-funded platform. In 2017, Facebook, Twitter & Google banned crypto-based ads which in essence was censoring crypto project advertisers completely. The current social media giants are increasingly censoring content that they don’t approve off whilst essentially selling their user ’s information to make the user themselves the product. Jeff along with the CCI team saw problems with this and other social media platforms and thus, Uptrennd was born to solve the issues currently plaguing all the other social media platforms.
