Along with the development of communication technology, various emerging
technologies such as the Internet, mobile and blockchain have contributed to
the rapid development of online social networks. The efficiency of online
socialization has greatly increased the coverage and distribution of personal
information and original content. More importantly, the internet connects
individuals who use multiple technologies together. The transmission of
information via the social networks presents a decentralized trend in which
media values and rights are constantly being deposited to the individual, and
the benefit of capital and technology allows individuals to have increasingly
more monetary and social gains.
The goal of WeKu is to create a decentralized, social-centric, intelligent and
creative content/social platform based on blockchain and IPFS (InterPlanetary
file System). WeKu attempts to address the issue of how content creators and
participants get paid for contents. WeKu plan is to achieve this by issuing
WeKU tokens to content creators and participants. It will also create a public
platform community which is truly owned by content creators and participants.
