Catnip

 

"Revolutionising the way we connect, share and express ourselves." At Catnip, our goal is to redefine social media and internet literature by empowering individuals to express their identity and shape their own narrative.

Dodo is a platform for novel co-investment and data monetisation. With blockchain technology, writers can upload their literature works to Dodo and sell chapters as NFTs, encouraging investment from fans, investors and film producers. Moreover, Dodo has a token economy, as $DODO token will be issued for any transactions on the platform. From the readers’ perspective, Dodo is both a platform with free content and a platform that allows them to monetise their data. For users who agree to the collection of personal data for targeted ads, ad revenue will be split with them in the form of $DODO.
