Contentos' SocialFi Expansion and Channel VIP Upgrade
Contentos has been committed to providing content creators with an optimized monetization model and simplifying fan interaction through features such as P2P gift voting, advertising revenue sharing, and COS token utility. The market's attention turned to BTC and BRC-20 tokens at the end of 2023, and the Contentos team predicts that the market focus will gradually shift to areas such as SocialFi in the future, so Channel VIP 1.0 is used as the beginning of the move towards SocialFi.
Contentos built Channel VIP through COS.TV’s existing user base, creating a new two-way communication model that allows creators and fans to interact in private chat rooms. Creators can profit from Channel VIP, while fans can pay to enter the exclusive channel and obtain valuable content and direct communication opportunities.
In the future, Channel VIP will launch more new features and plans to develop into a unique SocialFi product, including:
• Room PASS with different pricing models: Creators can set up various passes based on different purposes, such as educational passes, tickets, etc., which users can trade in the secondary market.
• GameFi Elements: Provide more entertainment and profit opportunities for creators and users.
• Integration with Web3 wallets: Support for airdrops and collective tasks, allowing Contentos and partner wallets to attract users and expand their user base, and even use Channel VIP for asset swaps in the future.
“In the future, we will further enhance Channel VIP and COS.TV to ensure that these products provide the best Web3 content platform services for global content creators.”
