A single location for users and communities to find each other, share ideas and content, and organize events.
A community-building platform that brings people together, and allows them to shape their communities how they want it. We are aligning the incentives between creators, the network, and consumers. Peerity rewards activity and community-building interactions.
Whether you are a new rock band trying to become popular, an art organization throwing an event, a teacher with students you would like to reward, or a company trying to crowdfund a new product, Peerity.io has got you covered.
Activity network vs social network- Typical social networks up until now have inspired anti-social behavior. With Peerity we would like to do the opposite, by creating incentive for groups and individuals to create content, organize an event, or perform other acts that will help grow the community. In normal situations, positive social interaction helps grow communities. So this is the kind of behavior we want to reward. This reward comes in the form of our token.

Though the internet connection was next to non-existing, which was quite a surprise for a tech event, Peerity’s first public appearance was an amazing experience. >Peerity is a social connection and activity platform. We connect individuals, communities, and organizations together. Want to start a band, write a novel, volunteer? Peerity is here to make connection and collaboration effortless. >Our goal is to provide the tools and space for communities to thrive online.

These nodes will be responsible for validating blocks on the Peerity chain. They will be incentivized with something like 35% of the daily created tokens. https://steemitimages.com/DQmbX9AdrWxPDBVZAfvK7GVovH3pFPVG8zefmLM2dwEDABv/tm-logo-name.png

The Peerity blockchain runs on Tendermint. We decided to use Tendermint because of its superior speed and BFT (Byzantine Fault Tolerance) consensus engine. It also allows us to make our blockchain in whichever way we decide. Tendermint also has one of the fastest Tx speeds of all consensus engines.
Peer Servers are the validators in our Tendermint-based blockchain. They are responsible for committing new blocks on the chain. The amount and selection of Peer servers is done by Peerity Inc. If you are interested in becoming a Peer server, get in contact with us at info@peerity.io
Access to our closed alpha and beta phase is reserved for Peer server operators and participants of the private and public crowdfunding rounds. Invitations will be sent on a first-come, first-serve basis.
