Interview with Rick Porter - Co-Founder and CEO at DSCVR (Discover)

In this episode we discuss with the Co-Founder and CEO at DSCVR (Discover), Rick Porter.

DSCVR is a decentralized social content platform running on the Internet Computer blockchain where users control not only the content, but also the platform itself. Powered end-to-end by the IC blockchain,

DSCVR delivers a fast web experience while enabling community-based governance.

DSCVR empowers its users to direct such decisions by establishing governance rights that are represented by two native tokens, each representing 50 percent of the voting rights: Social tokens and Service tokens.One of the greatest preconceptions about dapps is that they are necessarily slow, yet using DSCVR feels unmistakably fast, no different than Reddit. But in contrast, DSCVR envisions a different, decentralized future — one that puts power in the hands of the user community and allows it to guide the direction of the platform. Governance will be crucial to realizing this future, with two main concepts:

1. Users earn governance rights via tokens. With these rights, they can make product decisions to guide the direction of the platform.

2. Users earn tokens via upvotes. Users earn governance rights and tokens by receiving upvotes on posts, comments, and portals they manage and create. In essence, DSCVR’s most valuable and dedicated community members will decide its future.
