Exiting BitClout

Trevor realizes BitClout is too centralized, and starts a discussion on disapproval due to the BitClout identity system. Few creators join his battle cry. Andrew at the same time, discusses with him dismay on BitClout's leadership and seemingly dramatic changes to its infrastructure, and its select picking or purging of projects. Andrew is heavily calling out BitClout as being too centralized.

Our Projects

BitBadges for Creators

BitBadges offers several opportunities for creators whether it is for artists, event management, or musicians. Given its scalable platform, and lower gas fees, BitBadges offers the ability for you to quickly issue utility NFTs for your audience and fans. Due to the scalability of BitBadges, many membership opportunities might emerge. 

BitBadges for Educators

BitBadges is an opportunity for educators to create easy to verify certificates on the blockchain as well as track or reward student progress. The Decentralized University is one of the first flagship projects being developed by BitBadges, and not only does badges work well for individual educators, but it can also work well for clubs, mini-courses, cerifications, MOOCs, and verifiable degrees.

BitBadges for Everybody

BitBadges aims to offer a token standard and various easy to use interfaces to be adaptable for everybody. Many DAPPs can be built off the BitBadges blockchain, and various gamified experiences. BitBadges wants to make blockchain easy for the average person to utilize, and wants to be a solution for creators that is scalable and doesn't cost too much in gas fees or take too long in transaction times compared to what is out there.
