Mirror is a decentralized platform based on blockchain technology that allows writers and journalists to sell their articles directly to readers without intermediaries. It combines the functions of blockchain technologies, social networks and the content market.
The authors' texts are placed on the platform, which can then be bought for cryptocurrency. Mirror uses the Ethereum protocol to distribute payments to authors and buyers, while the prices for texts are set by authors and buyers independently.
Mirror uses curation and reputation mechanisms to help readers find quality content and authors sell their articles according to their reputation and fame. Each author receives a unique rating, which depends on the quality and relevance of his work.
Mirror is an interesting model for authors who want to fully control their content strategy and earnings on their articles. The platform provides an opportunity to create an interesting community of readers and authors who can communicate with each other and share their experience and knowledge.
One of the main advantages of Mirror is the low commission that the platform charges its users. Many other platforms, such as Medium, charge significant fees and limit the capabilities of authors.
In general, Mirror is an interesting example of how blockchain technologies can be used to improve competition in the content market and protect the rights of authors.
