When browsing the Web 2.0 and using the most popular social networks like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, both the privacy and the freedom of the users are at risk. To solve this problem Listen was born, a project that seeks to bring people together through audio messages.

At the end of May 2022, Listen win slot number 36 on Kusama, Polkadot’s experimental blockchain. This new decentralized social network will operate as a Parachain on its Relay Chain, marking a very important milestone in its development.

Features of Listen

On Listen website, people can download the Beta version for Android smartphones. In the case of iPhone, its users will have to install the TestFlight application, which allows testing applications in an early stage of development.

The page also provides the objectives of the platform in detail: will have its own blockchain and revolutionize decentralized social networks. Therefore, Listen will be fundamental in the construction of Web3.

In the first place, it states that thanks to the Internet, everyone has the right to express themselves. However, public opinion has been affected by fake news and worthless content.

“The overload of information drains everyone, while valuable expression is not widely heard.”

With this in mind, the Listen team will offer a space similar to the public square of Athens in ancient Greece, where people used to gather and listen to the wise men, and then share their knowledge with others.

Thanks to its Listen to Earn system, those who are opinion leaders will be able to open their own channels, where people will be aware of their ideas. For this it will be necessary to use LT token, which will allow the creator of the space to define an entrance fee.

With this, the wise men of our era will be able to monetize their knowledge. On the other hand, those who participate in the spaces will also receive LT tokens. Of course, on Listen each person will have their own user, and non-fungible tokens (NFT) will be integrated into this new decentralized social network.

People from all over the world who want to try the app and don’t have LT tokens, can request a small airdrop from the DICO-KICO community.

Listen Initial Coin Offering (ICO)

Those who did not deposit KSM in the Listen auction, still have the opportunity to participate in its Initial Coin Offering (ICO) on DICO platform, whose experimental version also operates as a Parachain on Kusama. Only from the KICO application it is possible to do it.

This is the first ICO on the platform. Investors who want to receive LT tokens before they are released can use their KSM. Thanks to DICO’s Investment 2 Earn protocol, they will receive a 2x bonus, which will be paid with KICO tokens.

Remember that cryptocurrencies are a high-risk investment, so we recommend operating responsibly. Since they are a new financial instrument, its volatility is higher than stocks or raw materials.

Ambassador Program

As a way to strengthen its relationship with the community and expand knowledge and information about the project, from May 4, 2022, the DICO Ambassadors program comes into operation.

For this reason, we extend the invitation to anyone who wishes to participate and be part of the team. To do so, do not hesitate to contact us quickly.
