    Hi all!

    My team and I are building a social and communications platform to push forward the internet of value. It preserves user privacy, has no ads, no behavior tracking, and gives you full ownership of your data.

    Rather than advertisements and middlemen, we envision an internet of value where users aren't harvested for their data and contributors are compensated for their efforts.

    You can get a quick preview of it and sign up to get notified for early access here: Haven Social Website

    Please come join our Discord to share your thoughts and hang out with us! We'd love this to be a community project.

    CORE TECHNOLOGIES:

    GunJS CRDT real-time decentralized database

    Ethereum and Loom Network for payments, scalability, transaction times, cross-chain support

    Proxy Re-encryption for encrypted group management, security

    End-to-end encryption for your privacy

    Own your identity & data: scan QR to login. No username, no password.

    KEY FEATURES:

    User-generated unique Havens
    Build a community around a topic you want to share with the world, or be a contributor to one. A Bitcoin Haven, a Fitness Haven, an Espresso Lover Haven, you name it! If it is available, it is yours.

    Communication & Collaboration Hub
    Each Haven comes with an on-platform encrypted messaging hub with text, audio, and video capabilities in addition to the social feed. Admins can organize discussions into channels and grant specific privileges to choose who sees what.

    Private Messaging with End-to-end encryption

    NO NEED TO HOST YOUR OWN SERVER OR NODE (But you get rewarded if you do to support the network, akin to mining)

    MONETIZATION:

    • Direct Tips on posts and comments
    • Content Unlocks for individual posts
    • Subscription/Membership to specific content series
    • Award custom Haven-specific badges/achievements
    • Private Access to chat channels (audio, video, and/or text)
    • Haven Owners & Moderators can earn from the success of their Haven
    • Much more to come!

    Kudos ($KUDO) are the cross-border digital payments ERC20 token used on Haven Social and across the Haven Ecosystem family of apps and services as they become available. We are not doing an ICO. We've been bootstrapping development. Kudos will only become available after Haven Social launches. They can be earned or purchased with USD, BTC, ETH and other currencies; then used as payment, sold to buyers, or held in your digital wallet all on-platform. There's a fixed supply of 500M and initial price will be $1.00.

    WHERE ARE WE NOW?

    Core Technologies Finished. Finalizing Designs for Web App. Front-End Development, Plugging in Core Tech!

    We hope to release first version by Q3 2020 at the latest, it depends on how many resources we have to dedicate and how many features in initial release. We will follow an iterative approach to try to release early, and over time, add in functionality and design/develop desktop & mobile apps.

    Token Distribution: Right now we are ideating on Kudo rewards for early members. We'll reward actions like signing up, posting content, creating active Havens, and referrals. We'll scale down the rewards as we grow the network (early users get more, tailing off to lower rewards as more people join - in a way, modeling mining).

    We'd love feedback and to make this a community model, so we welcome all of your thoughts here or in our Discord & I'd be happy to answer any questions here :)

    BlueStone : When PoolTogether meets Compound; a DeFi protocol built for fixed rate loan.

    Posted: 10 Mar 2020 11:09 AM PDT

    Hey borrowers, are you tired of variable borrowing interest imposed on your loan? Lenders, are you concerned about the bank-run risk if borrowers are not paying back? Check out our protocol : https://www.bluestone.live/, it offers loans at a fixed rate and deposits with terms It's currently live on Rinkeby test-net; Mint some test tokens and give it a try here : https://alpha.bluestone.live ! If are curious about our design, you could read our design paper on github : https://github.com/bluestone-live/design-paper/blob/master/BlueStone%20Protocol.pdf.

    Here is the breakdown of our features: Lending , borrowing and easy distribution. You can try them out starting today!

    1. Lending: Lenders at BlueStone have fine control over their funds and can choose to lend to to a wide variety of pools. BlueStone is one of the first protocols to implement fixed terms (of 7, 30, 90 days and more) on the blockchain. For example, if you choose to deposit 100 DAI to the most utilized pool (say 30-days), your deposit will have a weight = Amount x Term = 100 x 30 = 3000. The share of interest you can earn is proportional to the "weight" of your deposit which works similar to the tickets you get from PoolTogether . But our design have two major differences : 1) Time contributes to the weight as much as the amount. The longer the term of your deposit, the larger the share of interest you will earn. 2) No need to worry about your luck any more, since lenders in the pool will be sharing the interests by weights!
    2. Borrowing: On the borrowing page https://alpha.bluestone.live/borrow, you can view all our term options (between 1 and 90 days) with their corresponding APR and available amount. Again, all the terms, APR and available amounts are on the blockchain. For example, if you choose to borrow 2000 DAI for 30-day, the APR would be 11.3%. It's just like borrowing on Compound, but with two main differences: both the duration and rate of the load are fixed, meaning that you are protected from a volatile borrowing rate. Also, although the current maximum term is 90 days but our protocol is very flexible: it can easily support more terms if there are demands for them.
    3. Easy Distribution: If you want to distribute our protocol and earn money doing so, nothing is simpler. Follow these two steps:
      1. Create your encoded_distributor_address by encoding the following JSON string to base 64 : {distributorAddress: "your_wallet_address"}. A fraction of the interest your users generate with our protocol will be distributed to you_wallet_address.
      2. Route your users to this URL : https://app.bluestone.live/?dconfigs=${encoded_distributor_address}to start earning money today!

    If you have any questions or want to learn more about BlueStone, please join our telegram channel here : https://t.me/joinchat/DXdblBgLaJdL9yPxI81CTw.

    More detailed user instructions:

    • have your metamask wallet ready and switch to Rinkeby test-net, please note that you will need Rinkeby ETH to proceed to next step
    • mint some test tokens here (DAI/USDC/WETH) : https://alpha.bluestone.live/mint; after you click on mint button and approve the transactions, test tokens will be reflected on you account.
    • for lenders, please proceed to this page : https://alpha.bluestone.live/deposit. currently, it shows all the enabled pools from 1 to 90 day; for each pool, it shows the total deposit, current APR and utilization which help you decide which pool to deposit. Click on the card, approve the contract and deposit!
    • for borrowers, you can visit borrowing page here: https://alpha.bluestone.live/borrow. Drag the slider, then the graph will show you the available amount and APR for each token. Choose your desired term, click on next and borrow on the next page.
