The new social network (or SOcial LAyer) — Sola is officially born! The token sale is over and $2,233,700 is raised. We can expect the new cryptocurrency, Sol, at the exchanges very soon. In the meantime…

Sola has evolved. Interface is changed. New versions of smartphone app is available at the App Store and Google Play, and the web version is also upgraded. Sola is optimized for a new iPhone X, but that's the least important change.

Probably the most important one is increased the number of symbols on the card to 700, from the “tweeting” 140. This will make it more comfortable to read and write long-form content. The card appearance changes automatically while typing.

Now you can set a custom profile URL, instead the one which is automatically created based on the username — for example: https://sola.ai/lighteye.

A referral program is upgraded with better terms. By sharing, you get:

• 1 AP for each click on the link (max 50 AP per link);
• 100 AP and 5 SOL for each referral registration;
• 5% of all SOL earned by a referred user for 365 days.

Summarize is back! Sola will automatically generate a summary of the linked article for your card. 10+ languages supported, more to come.

And one that won't bring joy to many members: monetization is turned on. From now on you will see advertisement cards occasionally. The more Sola earns, the more it shares with its users. If you are strongly against ads, there will be an opportunity to turn it off a little later.

It seems like an exciting year is ahead of us :)
