Civic KNYT: How Digital Freedom and Civic Engagement Collide in a Gamified Election 2024

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, the connection between digital freedom and civic engagement has never been more evident. This election is about much more than just who will lead the United States for the next four years — it’s about shaping the future of the decentralized web, artificial intelligence (AI), and cryptocurrency alongside the very freedoms that define how we interact with technology and society.

From Kamala Harris’s stance on responsible regulation and ethical standards to Donald Trump’s advocacy for deregulation, voters face starkly different paths forward. Yet, what is often overlooked is how deeply intertwined our digital freedoms — our ability to control our data, engage in emerging tech, and participate in decentralized economies — are with our civic duties.

In collaboration with our friends at Fantasy Elect, metaKnyts is launching its 2024 GOTV (Get Out The Vote) Initiative. This campaign merges civic empowerment and digital literacy with a gamified experience, encouraging users to engage in both the election process and the metaKnyts ecosystem. Our goal is not only to drive political participation but also to introduce users to the benefits of KNYT COYN, our platform’s currency that powers digital citizenship.

Why Digital Freedom Hinges on Civic Engagement

The decentralized web and emerging tech ecosystems offer individuals the power to reclaim control over their data, secure privacy, and participate in the digital economy on their own terms. However, the progress of these technologies is inherently tied to government policy. The future of cryptocurrency and AI will be determined by the regulations and protections enacted by elected officials.

But casting your vote isn’t just about deciding an election — it’s about asserting your place in the future of digital empowerment. That’s where metaKnyts and Fantasy Elect come in, offering a gamified path to engage with both the political process and the future of decentralized technologies, while earning KNYT COYN as a reward for your participation. This is a way to be part of something bigger — building your digital future through civic action.

Introducing the metaKnyts Civic KNYT 2024 Initiative

To boost voter participation in this critical election, metaKnyts has partnered with Fantasy Elect and Rock the Vote to create a unique, gamified voter engagement campaign that goes beyond simply showing up at the polls. Initial contests will be open to the public, giving new users a chance to experience the fun in being Civic KNYTS while earning KNYT COYN, our currency for digital citizenship. Here’s how you can get involved:

• Fantasy Elect Contests: Participate in our Debate KNYT — Vice Presidential Debate Contest by kick off time on October 1, where you can predict real-time outcomes such as whether AI or crypto will be mentioned during debates. The winner will earn KNYT COYN for best predictions, blending the excitement of political engagement with the rewards of digital freedom.
• Seamless Voter Registration: Soon, you’ll be able to register to vote directly within the metaKnyts wallet using Rock the Vote’s Tech for Civic Engagement tool. This feature integrates voter registration into the metaKnyts ecosystem, making it a seamless and rewarding process. Upon registering, users will gain access to information about voting and exclusive contests with a chance to earn KNYT COYN rewards.
• Election Day Challenges: On Election Day, participate in challenge pools where you can predict voter turnout, state-by-state results, and other key outcomes to earn rewards. These activities show how digital citizenship and civic engagement are linked through participation and rewards.

Stay Engaged Post-Election

Your civic engagement doesn’t end on November 5. Post-election, our platform will shift focus to ongoing legislative contests around issues like AI, Web3, and cryptocurrency. Users can make predictions on key policy developments and legislative decisions, earning rewards and staying informed about the decisions that shape the future of decentralized technology.

We’re not just creating a gamified experience; we’re creating a pathway into the metaKnyts ecosystem. Through these contests, users will begin to explore digital literacy and financial empowerment while earning KNYT COYN. These steps are all part of building long-term engagement with the platform.
