We are proud to announce that the Platforms Community Token is now live! The Platforms system has been months in the making and we are one step closer to completing our ultimate goal. As we wrote in our white paper the Platforms community token is a reward token that can be used to receive upvotes on your posts on Whaleshares.
To use your PLATFORMS tokens simply send your PLATFORMS to the Bitshares address: platforms. You will receive your upvote within seconds thanks to the automation software provided by the 
Visual Demonstration:
There are multiple ways to earn PLATFORMS and one of the most common way is to take up tasks within our Discord server. Platforms employs a dynamic system for project promotion, community building, and other initiatives. Contributors pick up tasks ("buckets") and then are rewarded with tokens. Current buckets include writing, graphic design, coding, and other heartfelt projects of choice. Contributors are rewarded with the Platforms Reward Token. You can also earn PLATFORMS for being active within the Platforms Discord.
We plan on having multiple different stakes back the PLATFORMS token across multiple different social blockchains. Within these upcoming weeks the Platforms team will buy, trade, and earn WLS/Whalestake which will be used to power up our account and grow the stake backing our token. We are actively growing our stake on Whaleshares and plan to back our token on other social platforms in the future. We currently have a little under 1,500 Whalestake and expect to gain over 1,000 more in the course of the next couple of days. We estimate to have over 10,000 Whalestake by the beginning of February.
