Welcome all Lunyrians! The next evolution of Lunyr, the blockchain-based knowledge sharing platform, has begun. Our statistics show the rate of article creation is growing rapidly. Each month, we will introduce major upgrades to the platform. Lunyr’s team size is growing, and development will continue throughout the Open Beta.

The next step is to iterate until the platform aligns almost perfectly with the needs and expectations of writers, peer reviewers, readers, and advertisers. Right now, the experience for each type of user is rudimentary. A lot of resources, features, communication and designs are still missing. We’ve divided the Open Beta into 3 Phases:

Phase 1: Writers and Peer Reviewers

Better UX

Reputation System 1.0

Clearer writing and peer reviewing expectations

Education and training portal with videos

Workflow improvements for signing up, submitting/reviewing an article, redeeming rewards, referring others, and reusing the platform.

Upgraded editor

Citation generator

Collaboration features

Clearer communication

Reimbursement status

Reward System 2.0

Peer review System 2.0

Phase 2: Readers

UI upgrade

Predictive search

Filters

Phase 3: Advertisers

Advertising System 2.0

Every phase is designed with one goal in mind. Achieve product-market fit. As the Open Beta phase progresses we will get closer and closer to the future of knowledge sharing.

Other Updates

A few frontend issues surfaced during the launch, but we have addressed the majority of them. Users should not view the Lunyr Open Beta as the final destination but rather as a project in a constant state of evolution.

We adjusted the rewards. See the table below. Adjustments are NOT retroactive.
