Patron aims to be the next big influencer platform to compete with other social media giants such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and more. Patron will function in a similar way to Steem because Patron's native currency or PAT will be used to pay influencers for their activity and posts.
However, Patron is definitely a different model than Steem because Patron seems to be more focused on connecting with major social media influencers and allowing major companies to pay influencers in PAT in exchange for advertising for their companies. Patron wants to be the cheaper and more effective advertising model for companies that will be able to put their products directly into the influencer's hands without any middlemen.
The release of Patron has been a long wait for any early investors into the platform, but the Roadmap on their website as well as some information I gathered from their Telegram channel shows that the release of the Android and IOS versions of Patron should be released sometime in mid-late June if things go smoothly.
Once the mobile versions of Patron are released, the web version of Patron will be the next focus.
Here is a video on what Patron is trying to accomplish:
Patron has also recently formed a partnership with Token Stars, here is some info from their medium article:
"TokenStars is a sports management platform which connects rising talents and successful professionals with fans and advertisers. ACE and TEAM tokens by TokenStars provide the fans with opportunities to interact with their favorite athletes and celebrities as well as to support their careers."
There is currently a mandatory swap of the old tokens for the new tokens if you are currently buying on the exchanges. Visit the telegram for more details: https://t.me/patroncoin
This article is not financial advice, just my opinions. If Patron can deliver and come out with their Android and IOS versions of Patron within the next few months then good things probably await holders of Patron. Please don't take my advice though, and do your own research as always.
PATRON is an economic sharing platform provided to support influencers of social media. Founded by Atsushi Hisatsumi, this service is offered using blockchain technology to gather all influencers in Japan or around the world. Thus, they can be established by companies and business owners.
Through PATRON, influencer social media accounts will be tokenisasi with blockchain technology. They do not share or post information for free to their followers, but they are paid for it. The method of payment can be planned directly on site, specifically for several months and even obtained and monopolized in annual contracts.
Influencers can come from unknown individuals. They use the popular SNS platforms that are the same as Youtube, Facebook, Instagram and blogs, and then build personal branding and increase their influence ability to become famous ideal models, or make dreams come true. Regardless of their knowledge, academic background, personal and career connections, influencers know how to use their power to influence others.
PATRON itself, as an economic platform sharing influencers who utilize blockchain technology, works by gathering influencers and letting them be recruited by companies or business owners
