Blurt works as a social blockchain. Users publish posts and comments, vote on content and manage their accounts through frontends such as Blurt.blog, BeBlurt or Blurt Wallet. The blockchain is the shared layer, while each frontend is only a way to use it.
Main Blurt features
- Publishing: users can create posts, articles and comments.
- Voting: users can vote for content. The influence of a vote depends partly on Blurt Power.
- Rewards: activity on the platform can be connected with BLURT token rewards.
- Wallet: users can hold BLURT, use Power Up and Power Down, and manage account permissions.
- Multiple frontends: the same account can be used through different applications and websites.
Blockchain and frontends
The key idea is simple: Blurt is not just one website. Blurt is the blockchain network, and a frontend is an interface for reading, publishing and interacting with data stored in that network.
Blurt Power and voting
Blurt Power represents influence in the network. The more Blurt Power an account has, the more weight its votes may have. This is why understanding Power Up, Power Down and account security matters for active users.
Example
A user writes a post, publishes it through a frontend, receives comments and votes from other users, and can later manage earned BLURT in a wallet. The same account can be used in more than one frontend, because the blockchain is the common layer.
