Abstract

Abstract is a revolutionary social platform designed to reward user engagement and content creation with Abstract Token (ABT), our native cryptocurrency built on the Solana network. Abstract aims to decentralize social media, empowering users to earn money through their interactions and contributions. This whitepaper outlines the vision, technology, and economic model driving Abstract and its ecosystem.

Vision

The social media landscape is dominated by centralized platforms that profit from user-generated content and data without adequately rewarding users. Abstract envisions a decentralized social platform where users are fairly compensated for their contributions, fostering a community-driven environment that prioritizes user empowerment and content quality.

Technology Stack

Solana Network

Abstract Token (ABT) is built on the Solana blockchain due to its high throughput, low transaction costs, and scalability. Solana's innovative proof-of-history (PoH) consensus algorithm allows for fast and secure transactions, making it an ideal choice for a social platform with potentially millions of microtransactions.

Abstract Platform Architecture

  1. Frontend: A user-friendly interface accessible via web and mobile applications.
  2. Backend: A robust infrastructure leveraging decentralized storage solutions like IPFS for content hosting and Solana smart contracts for transaction processing.
  3. Smart Contracts: Deployed on the Solana network to manage ABT transactions, rewards distribution, and governance mechanisms.

Abstract Token (ABT)

Token Specifications

  • Token Name: Abstract Token
  • Symbol: ABT
  • Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 ABT
  • Decimals: 9

Token Distribution

  • Community Rewards: 50% (500,000,000 ABT)
  • Development Fund: 20% (200,000,000 ABT)
  • Marketing and Partnerships: 15% (150,000,000 ABT)
  • Team and Advisors: 10% (100,000,000 ABT)
  • Reserve Fund: 5% (50,000,000 ABT)

Utility

ABT is the backbone of the Abstract platform, facilitating various functionalities:

  1. Content Rewards: Users earn ABT by creating, sharing, and engaging with content.
  2. Tipping: Users can tip others for valuable contributions.
  3. Governance: ABT holders can participate in platform governance, proposing and voting on key decisions.
  4. Marketplace Transactions: ABT can be used to purchase digital goods and services within the Abstract ecosystem.

Economic Model

Rewards System

  • Content Creation: Users earn ABT based on the quality and engagement metrics of their posts, such as likes, shares, and comments.
  • Engagement: Active users are rewarded for engaging with content through commenting, sharing, and liking.
  • Referral Program: Users can earn ABT by inviting others to join the platform.

Governance and Staking

ABT holders can stake their tokens to participate in governance. Stakers are eligible to propose and vote on platform updates, feature implementations, and other key decisions. This decentralized governance model ensures that the platform evolves in alignment with the community's interests.

Security and Privacy

Data Security

Abstract employs state-of-the-art encryption and decentralized storage to protect user data. By utilizing blockchain technology, we ensure data integrity and transparency, eliminating the risks associated with centralized data breaches.

User Privacy

Abstract respects user privacy by minimizing data collection and offering robust privacy settings. Users retain control over their data, with the ability to anonymize or delete their information at any time.
