Tapatalk Unlocks Value of Forum Ecosystem with Blockchain-Powered Microeconomies

Gold Point Wallet Enables Millions of Forum Content Creators to Be Financially Rewarded

Tapatalk, the leading mobile forum app, has announced that its Gold Point reward system will now be powered by blockchain technology, advancing engagement incentives and monetization opportunities across tens of thousands of forums.

Tapatalk first introduced Gold Points to Tapatalk Groups in 2017 to support forum administrators and moderators in growing their communities, increasing engagement and improving the quality of content contributions. Forum administrators have earned Gold Points based on pageviews or ad impressions, premium subscriptions and member donations. In fact, over 80 percent of Tapatalk Groups forums receiving member donations are now earning more than their advertising revenue. As Tapatalk grows and diversifies revenue pathways for forum owners, the move to blockchain will help in making these transactions more transparent. Members will also be able to purchase Gold Points and redeem them for digital goods, to remove ads or to donate to their forum administrators.
