Month In Review: Welcome to Beta 2.0
Hello BULBers!
A wise person once said, "Sometimes, you've got to look back, to see how far you've come...".
A lot has happened since we set out on this journey in November 2021 with the wild vision to disrupt the creator economy. None of what we have been able to build to date is possible without you guys and we are very thankful for having you with us on the journey in creating a community where ideas, passion and engagement are rewarded!
Let’s get into the month of April and take a look at the community.
Beta 1.0 Recap
Beta 1.0 was released last month and marked an exciting milestone for our roadmap.
The BULBer community has grown larger from 20 to just under 100 users!
We are so pleased to see you enjoying the platform and engaging with other members of the community. There has been a rapid growth in the number of articles written with over 300 new stories shared.
It's been great to see the level of interaction and discussion with an amazing 1,800 comments having been shared since BULB got started.
Beta 2.0 New features
Beta 2.0 is here! Tomorrow Beta 2.0 will be pushed out and we are looking forward to seeing how you receive the new features we have been working on.
Here is a list of them!
Refer2Earn Reward System:
Not only can you write2earn and read2earn, you can also refer2earn! For BULBers who are over level 5, you can now earn 2,500 BULB Tokens for every time you invite a new friend into the community. What's more? they will also be rewarded with 2,500 Tokens for creating an account! Let's grow our BULBer community together!
Phantom Wallet Mobile App Functionality:
We are super keen to announce that BULB is now fully functional within the Phantom Wallet mobile app browser, here are a couple of screenshots to show you how to connect BULB to your Phantom app in 6 simple clicks.
Introducing "My Journey" Level System:
An exciting new addition to the platform is the introduction of a fresh levelling system called "My Journey". New features, upgrades and rewards are now accessible for unlock once you reach certain level milestones, more will be revealed soon!
Dynamic Points System:
To truly reward ideas, creativity and engagement, we need to separate the good from the great. We are testing out a dynamic points system which will help maintain the integrity of our community, you don’t have to think about it much but it’s all about seeking out bots and spam content, protecting our space.
There will be a full post with a detailed explanation of the new points system published in the coming weeks.
Upgraded Notifications:
In addition to the notifications received from comments, you will now also get notifications on reacts on your post or comment! More advanced notifications are on the way so you never miss a beat.
New Category Sort Bar:
You can now discover new content on the topics that matters to you the most in just one click! The category list has now expanded to over 200. It's time to get exploring on BULB.
