Creating a Network for Your Blockchain Startup

Blockchain startups build value through network effects.

The architecture of the blockchain creates several layers with which to foster a network.

Here are some key incentives to create a network for your blockchain startup:

Utility — the system delivers a service such as funds exchange or data storage.

Cash — the system provides tokens that can be exchanged for fiat currency.

Equity — the system provides ownership stakes to those in the network.

Reputation — the system provides reputation advantages to those in the network.

Access — those in the network have access to resources such as investors for fundraising.

Branding — the system provides a brand to those in the network such as a community that fosters a common goal.

NFTs — the system provides non-fungible tokens that represent something of value within the community such as a piece of art from a specific artist.

Tokens– the system provides tokens to those in the network that bring benefits to the holder such as access to resources.

Incentives attract additional users which in turn increases the value of the network.
