HyperSpace Beta Goes Live!
After a month of validating our novel economic models and testing user experience assumptions as well as the technical foundations of the new network, HyperSpace is moving from Alpha to Beta.
New Features
Personal Notifications
Personal notifications are displayed next to the user’s profile image, keeping you on the pulse of your Spaces and earnings.
Enhanced Post Page
The enhanced post page includes:
- Recommendations for additional posts by the author and in the Space displayed on the right
- Information about users earning from the post displayed right after it
Profile Page
The profile page displays all the information about a user’s activity and earnings:
- Total earnings
- Verified posts and their earnings
- Amplifications
Get to your profile page by clicking on your image on the right upper corner. Choose “My Profile” from the dropdown.
Get to other users’ profile pages by clicking on their profile image or username.
The profile page will later be updated with more features and stats, becoming a dashboard giving you a view of your HyperSpace-wide activity.
Metadata
When sharing a link to a post on HyperSpace, a preview of the title, image, and text will be displayed automatically. This post preview will relay what the post is about when you share it, and also help index the page and make it easy for search engines to find.
Make sure to add an appealing headline, a great picture, and a good description of your content in the first paragraph when creating a post in HyperSpace. Bringing in new users to HyperSpace or to the Space the post is in, provides you with rewards, which leads us to…
Distributor Role
Being a distributor means sharing a post outside of HyperSpace that motivates a new user to join HyperSpace — or the Space the post is in — and Amplify that post. The distributor earns 15% of this Amplification (7.5% if the user is only new to the Space) as well as a nice bump in User Power.
Note that you’ll get this bonus only if you post these links outside of HyperSpace. Don’t forget to hit the “Share” button at the top left of the post, where you’ll find the link with your unique referral code.
