Reddit Launching Community Points, Magic Eden makes Polygon Push, Token Unlock Schedules, Web3 Referrals Tool, Decentralized Messaging, and more!
💡 Intro
Following the success of Reddit Avatars: Reddit is launching a new blockchain based feature called Community Points (currently in waitlist).
Subreddits will be able to launch their own tokens. Because their “Points” are on the blockchain, users can take their reputation anywhere they want online.
And since Reddit doesn't control these tokens, communities have the ability to use and adapt their utility outside the platform.
Why This Matters:
Reddit Avatars was a massive success: with over 5M collectibles amassed by users since launch. Community Points might be just as successful (and potentially as lucrative)
This will be a very interesting experiment: will people care about tokenizing their Reddit reputation, and will outsiders value it once its tokenized?
Full landing page + details are on this official Reddit page here and is worth checking out!
Just yesterday: Magic Eden Launched their Polygon dedicated Twitter account.
While they announced their move onto Polygon a while ago: they are just now doing a big PR push.
We expect this to shift attention onto Polygon & Polygon NFTs in the short term:

DropsTab Token Unlocks
"View Upcoming Token Unlocks Instantly."
Type of Product: Token Unlock Analytics
Purpose of Tool: DropsTab's Token Unlock feature offers users a comprehensive view of vested assets, including the stage of the unlock period and the upcoming dates for the next unlocks. DropsTab has aggregated the most comprehensive data about token lockup events and their upcoming unlock dates, allowing investors to make informed investment decisions.
Token lockup is a period of time in which project tokens are not able to be traded or liquidated. It is a strategy used by projects to ensure that the tokens are not sold too quickly, which damages the project's value. Token lockups are typically set to last for several years, depending on the project's goals, and the unlock event usually occurs in stages.
