Creary is a blockchain-based social network of multimedia portfolios that rewards creatives and curators for sharing their digital creations with the community. Anyone can share their creative portfolios, by uploading legal digital content, images, videos, music, texts, digital books or any other multimedia format.
The real challenge of the Creary team has been to create a product with an attractive interface, with a good user experience, intuitive and away from the complications that many of the blockchain projects present, while at the same time designing an ecosystem rich in gamification that allows its users to achieve recognition within creative communities.
Creary is a decentralized art community where anyone can post digital content and be rewarded for their creative work according to the votes received from the community.
Users are rewarded with the platform’s own token called CREA that can be easily converted into any other coin and fiat currency. Users can find in their profiles, a wallet where all their earnings will be automatically stored.
Creary’s decentralized ecosystem has been designed in order to distribute all of the power and benefits of the network among all of its users who add value to the community.
The reward distribution system is governed by the community itself and any user can vote freely and in real time how they want the Crea network to evolve.
The platform has recently opened its public beta test and is available to all those creative or passionate about Blockchain technology who want to test it before its release.

HOW CAN USERS GET REWARDS ON CREARY?
The ecosystem of the platform issues different types of tokens with specific characteristics that give certain powers within the social network.
Users can obtain these tokens in several ways:
- Publishing content on the platform
As in any conventional social network or creative portfolios directory, in Creary users can post their work to share them with the rest of the community. As an innovative fact, in Creary, users will receive rewards for the interactions their content receives. The likes are not just likes anymore, so users should bet on the quality of what is published to get a good community of followers.
Creary also allows the content exploration by keywords or hashtags and there is an internal system to promote content and thus give them greater visibility.
- Publication downloads
Creary offers the possibility to its users to set a price per download of the contents they publish. This means that any user will be able to obtain economic income for each sale or download that their publications or digital goods receive.
This is a very interesting way for those users who wish to professionalize their activity on the platform by converting their portfolios into marketplaces of original and quality content such as image banks or stock or audio files that can be used by third party creations.
- Content curation
The Creary system rewards those users who help other projects to be visible within the network through their interactions as a vote or like.
A percentage of the rewards that are issued on a publication when voting is distributed to the voter (curator) taking into account different parameters for this calculation such as the curation moment or the user's status within the platform.
- Rewards to the witnesses of the distributed network
The witnesses are those users who connect their computers to the network and who support the maintenance and constant development of it. Everyone can witness the network and ask for the vote of the community to stay among the first 25 nodes responsible for the proper functioning of it. This activity of direct democracy supports the community's involvement in the code that governs the system in an efficient, just and democratic way. Also, this activity generates income in tokens that help witnesses develop new implementations for the platform.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY REGISTRATION
Creary, thanks to the blockchain technology it uses, allows users to publish their projects on the platform. This generates a stamp that certifies the authorship of a content. At the same time it can be indicated with what license users want to distribute their work. Creary.net offers several types of content licenses, mainly Creative Commons licenses. Users can select the one that best suits their type of work (some are more restrictive than others).
If you want to know more about the operation of these licenses, please consult the frequently asked questions at: https://creativecommons.org/faq
Since the beta test version of Creary was made public, many users are already testing it and giving their opinions, warning of bugs and suggesting improvements that can be implemented before the next release of the final version.
We encourage everyone to share this information with their contacts in the creative sector who may be interested in using a free and decentralized alternative to spread their artistic work without intermediaries.
