And we’re going to reward you handsomely for trying it out (info on rewards below 👇).
After years of development, Leo Finance has released the Open Alpha of their “Everything dApp.” It is spearheaded by the microblogging service called Threads.
📢 Announcement post from LF is here.
“But wait,” you might say. “There’s already stuff like dBuzz on Hive.”
This is true. But Threads is a different approach.
Like all Hive dApps, you already have an account. You just need to sign in!
Head to https://alpha.leofinance.io/login — it works with Keychain 🙂
Traditionally, Leo Finance has been focused on, well, finance. Crypto finance, in particular. Many people on Hive are just not interested in that stuff, and Threads understands and embraces that fully.
Which brings us to the Scholar & Scribe connection!
Below are simple steps and some examples:
Step 1: Log in using Hive Keychain at https://alpha.leofinance.io/login
Step 2: Make a post, and be sure to use the #scholarandscribe hashtag in the post itself. Share a link to your stories/poems (or someone else's)
Step 3: You’re done! No step 3… I guess go explore Threads? 😁
The place to make a new thread is right at the top of the home screen. See below:
Just type into the box! You only have 240 characters to work with, including the link URL and any hashtags you want to use. So be brief.
The content you share does not have to be new either. Nor does it have to be your own. The Threads are upvoted and assessed as their own piece of fresh Hive content 🙂
#scholarandscribe tag so you can see examples.REWARD 1: The Leo Finance community had generously offered to delegate a large amount of LEO tokens to a curation account: 
This account will be curating (upvoting) threads that use the #scholarandscribe tag. This means you will earn some decent LEO rewards on your threads for participating. Others from the Leo community will also be dropping upvotes on good content, so don’t be shy about exploring Threads (post about whatever you find interesting, comment on others’ threads, etc.!)
👉 Note: Threads can only generate $LEO tokens and the usual Hive rewards.
REWARD 2: Anyone who participates in this effort will be entered into a raffle to win some more prizes! One entry per account, no alts please. The
⚠️ Deadline for the raffle = payout of this post. Get threading! ⚠️
You’ll notice that this says Phase 1. Here are some hints on what future phases will entail:
Scholar and Scribe is a creative writing community founded in the forges of Hive's passionate Pizza Guild. It sets itself part from some of the other writing groups on Hive with its unique dual-token system.
