Twigg is pleased to announce our partnership with TwigX (https://www.twigx.xyz/), which will power our discoverability algorithm to help good stories get in the hands of more readers.
We all know how traditional discoverability algorithms feel like arbitrary black boxes: picking favorites, censoring, pushing agendas, or shadow banning, with no recourse to appeal and no way to know what’s even happening in the first place. Each algorithm is gamed and botted mercilessly. Is it truly a level playing field? How do you know how your content is currently ranking?
We never wanted that experience for Twigg users.
TwigX is a company building a new structure for discoverability that will fundamentally avoid these problems, because its algorithms will be based on true user conviction via a tokenized limited upvoting system. Completely transparent, unbiased, and effectively impossible to bot.
TwigX will power all types of content platforms, whether social media, video, music streaming, gaming, or publishing, and Twigg will be among the first platforms to incorporate TwigX technology for its ranking systems.
TwigX will use the upcoming $TWIGX token to power its ecosystem, as form of tradable XP to reward user engagement in partner applications, which will represent votes for content creators when staked, or “pledged”, to their benefit.
By incorporating this into Twigg, this will mean that the stories you see on the web app home page, search results, and recommended content will be based on who actually can garner grassroots conviction from real fans who are willing to lock up their tokens to support that creator.
And for authors, you’ll know that if you have a good story and loyal fan base, you’ll be able to get the visibility your stories deserve without having to game a system, write for an algorithm, or compete with bots.
TwigX is under development with Kaizen (https://kaizen.finance/), and is incubated by Hourglass Collective (https://hourglassx.com/) and BlockConsult (https://www.blockconsult.io/).
You can learn more about TwigX at their website (https://www.twigx.xyz/) or X account (https://twitter.com/twigx_token). They have a space coming up later today to announce their plans and upcoming token launch: https://twitter.com/twigx_token/status/1785781286759694662
