Read-to-Earn with ReadON

Introduction

ReadON aims to solve the problem of doom scrolling (reading negative news all day), give creators ownership of their content, and reward you for reading

Keep reading to understand how ReadON works and how you can earn money from it.

(You can win a $600 NFT)

What Is ReadON

Neo and Troy founded ReadOn in mid 2022.

Neo is a computer scientist who worked at Baidu and as product director of QuTouTiao, a web2 play to earn project with 30M daily active users.

Troy worked as a senior technology manager at ByteDance and senior tech lead at Pinterest. He is a machine learning expert experienced in content understanding and distribution.

ReadON aims to build a public contract to index and assign content to its real owner. This will give creators true ownership of their content.

Curators rank content on the platform. This is what one of the admins said when I asked in the project’s Discord.

Users will earn $READ tokens and exp points as they read on the app. For now, you can earn points that will be exchangeable for $READ tokens later on (no ETA yet).

The project had a seed investment of $2M, led by SevenX Ventures.

How Does It Work

Catto is ReadON’s NFT that allows you to receive 60% more points when you hold it and read on the app.

How You Can Get a Catto NFT for Free

Right now, the floor price for Catto NFT on Opensea is 0.346 ETH (around $600).

Many users won their first NFT Catto by reading and opening boxes during ReadONBetaBox Season 1.

Now they are back with Season 2, but it may be your last chance to get a free Catto NFT.
