BULB: A Crypto-Based Blogging Platform

BULB
5 min readDec 29, 2021

Hi, Welcome to BULB!

Imagine an internet where anyone can participate, without the monetisation of their personal data, engagement and creativity. Just imagine an internet where data-privacy breaches and censorship controls cease to exist…That is what Web3.0 is all about.

We believe in what Web3.0 stands for. Founded on a small teams dedication to empowering Web3.0, BULB is on a mission to create a community where ideas, passion and engagement are rewarded.

BULB is driven to build a crypto-based blogging platform, where users can ‘do-to-earn’ and more specifically, write-to-earn (W2E) and read-to-earn (R2E). As it stands, BULB is one of the first ‘do-to-earn’ blogging platforms built on the Solana Blockchain. By enabling you as our users to earn BULB Tokens based on your engagement with the platform, you will become empowered to capture the value created within the community as the value of the underlying crypto token corresponds with growth of the community and usage of the platform. This is only made possible with the existence of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.

How BULB Works?

Write-to-earn, Read-to-earn with BULB.

Figure 1: Five Classes of BULBmojis

In a nutshell, our users can collect BULBmojis by writing, reading, reacting, commenting and sharing blog posts on the platform. The more ‘actions’ users complete, the more BULBmojis you collect, and the more BULB Tokens you will be able to earn. The BULB Token can be used on premium content, NFTs, and other tradables exclusive to BULB. They can also be held as a speculative asset.

This creates a BULB crypto-economy, where engagement is the currency.

Tokenomics

$BULB is the crypto token that enables all transactions on the platform. The token is built on the Solana blockchain with a fixed supply of 1 Billion tokens. Tokens will be allocated equally between BULB and its users. This tokenomics model reflects the equal importance of both users and our team in contributing to the development of BULB. 10% of total supply (100,000,012 tokens) were unlocked on the 19th of December 2021.

Figure 2: Total Circulating Supply (Units: Millions)

$BULB follows the deflationary token model. Specifically, the total user reward of BULB Tokens halves every year, i.e. given that 500 Million tokens are allocated to user rewards, 250 Million tokens will be released in 2022, 125 Million in 2023, and so on. 100 Million tokens will go to operations, which also follows a halving schedule. The remaining 300 Million tokens are linearly vested over 24 months with a 6 month cliff.
