Next Step Microgrant: TRIKL - Read, Write & Earn Rewards

[Shalupanwar06]

1. What is your project? (max 100 words)

600M+ bloggers globally struggle with a lack of data ownership & low engagement. We’re building a mobile-first dApp that empowers bloggers with data ownership by hosting their data using Web3.storage. We're also creating a sustainable Engage & Earn rewards engine that works with every blockchain without needing a native platform token. These rewards help in boosting engagement & build community.
