Our mission is to cultivate a vibrant and active community that not only appreciates the creativity and potential of blockchain technology but also actively contributes to its narrative.\n\nOn SEISHORTS, users have the opportunity to publish their own short stories, with a strong emphasis on content related to the SEI Blockchain. This focus aims to inspire and educate through creative storytelling, making blockchain technology more accessible and engaging to a broader audience.\n\nTo foster active participation, SEISHORTS introduces a unique token-based system. Each user is initially granted a limited number of \"SHORTIES\" (a fictional token) upon account creation. These tokens govern the number of stories a user can publish. The twist? Users earn more SHORTIES based on the readership of their stories. This system incentivizes not only the creation of high-quality content but also encourages community engagement, as users must attract readers to gain additional tokens for future readings.\n\nBy intertwining storytelling with blockchain technology, SEISHORTS aspires to build a dynamic and interactive community that celebrates innovation, creativity, and the power of narrative in the digital age.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "SEISHORTS"}, "recipient": "0xcED7D2be34B122Bac0C12b4F5fAEECA37B0EE410"}}
