PUBLISH is pleased to announce the release of a closed beta of PUBLISH link, an API that interfaces with a token-based reward system, allowing digital media companies to compensate news content consumers for actions such as reading articles, sharing articles, and leaving high-quality comments.

PUBLISH plans to use this closed beta period as an opportunity to test PUBLISH link alongside the recently released PUBLISH iD, a mobile-based decentralized identity solution allowing users to quickly and conveniently log in to multiple platforms with a single blockchain-based identity.

The closed beta will last until the end of the year. Tokens required for compensating content consumers during this period will be provided free of charge.

Media companies and journalists wishing to participate in the closed beta are invited to download PUBLISH iD from the App Store or Google Play Store, and register as members of PUBLISH Alliance, where they can learn more about the programme and discuss best practices with other participants.

Commenting on the closed beta release, PUBLISH CEO Sonny Kwon said, “PUBLISH has always been interested in how blockchain technology can revitalize news media platforms and bring more transparency to the internet. This closed beta period brings us one step closer to making this a reality.”
