Introducing WTF

Props Project
Sep 7, 2018 · 2 min read

From tweets to snaps to livestreams, we have seen social media content evolve over the years to be increasingly mobile, participatory, and empowering. Based on these trends, it’s no surprise that experiences like HQ and Facegame recently emerged — they are mobile-first, encourage live engagement, and offer real cash prizes.

YouNow has always been on the forefront of the participatory media revolution. We were the first to introduce in-app earnings based on virtual goods and continue to manage a thriving two-sided mobile marketplace. By sending messages and gifts to broadcasters, audience members break the 4th wall and participate in the video content they are consuming.

Props represents the next frontier in participation. By utilizing blockchain technology, we can ensure that every stakeholder on the platform — not just a limited cohort of big partners — can both create content and earn for their contributions. Rize, the first mobile app on the Props ecosystem, takes these principles and pairs it with a many-to-many social media experience.

Today, we are excited to announce WTF, the second app on the Props network. WTF is the first cryptocurrency-powered game show app. Using live video chat, build teams of up to 3 players with your friends and family, and test your knowledge of pop culture and current events together. If at least one person from your team answers every question correctly, everyone on the team wins a cash prize!

We built WTF on the same principles that drive the rest of the Props ecosystem. Every stakeholder should be able to earn for his or her contributions to the experiences of every other stakeholder. Rize is a strong, cohesive, democratized social media platform. WTF is a fun, wacky, occasionally unpredictable shared experience with crypto-rewards. Both apps can be connected with a shared wallet.

To participate, download the WTF app on iTunes today. The Android app is in development, and will launch soon. Initially, there will be daily games every weekday at 6:00pm ET. Create your account today, win yourself some crypto, and share any feedback you have (positive or critical) with our product team at support@wtf.buzz.
