Knowledge-sharing social network platform based on Ethereum Blockchain

What's Gilgames ?

Gilgamesh is a knowledge-sharing social platform powered by Ethereum smart contracts and blockchain technology. The network shifts the way readers, critics, and authors communicate and connect with one another. 

Using the Gilgamesh platform, users can gain and transfer knowledge in a protected environment that encourages widespread learning and education, and incentivizes the human race to become more thoughtful and information-centric. 

Productive interactions and engagements on the Gilgamesh platform earn users GIL Tokens, on the Ethereum blockchain through smart contracts. They can spend GIL tokens on in-app goods and services, or to vote on the governance of the platform.

Vision

The Gilgamesh philosophy is to propel the human race forward through peer-to-peer learning and open dialogue. Stripped down, books can act as mentors that guide people to solutions, innovative thinking, and personal advancement. The Gilgamesh platform was created to encourage readers to consume better, more complete content, to engage with other readers, and create a fair market for authors, readers, and platform participants. The Gilgamesh platform will engage a native and flexible utility token that is unique to the platform by using the Ethereum ERC20 standard token which users will earn on the platform and spend on goods and services offered, or voting on the future of the platform. Users will earn tokens for actively participating in the platform through social engagement, creating useful content, or providing a service. The tokens earned can be saved to earn governing influence on the platform, purchase books, audio books, eBooks, or publishing services. 

Mision

To create a secure and engaging knowledge sharing social platform that helps readers connect socially with other readers and authors in a fun and interactive way and benefits readers, authors, and self-publishing service providers by removing the gatekeeping publishers from the book industry. The Gilgamesh platform will give more authors access to publishing services, connect self-publishing service providers to serious job opportunities, and open the market for readers to drive the success of books and authors through social influence.

The Problem

Books have been our main source of knowledge for thousands of years. However, with the advent of new technologies and the internet, there is no simple, meaningful, and productive platform that encourages book readers and authors to connect, engage, and gain knowledge.
Instead, the market is full of stagnant and outdated platforms that no longer satisfy the demands of the book community.

• Authors and readers are not connected

• Readers can't socialize and share knowledge with other readers

• Authors don't get real-time feedback and reviews of their books

Solution

The Gilgamesh platform provides a unique, simple user experience that encourages readers to engage and connect with one another, consume more informative content, and gain knowledge. 

The platform is an open market for users to socialize; find, buy, review, and discuss books; and directly influence the publishing industry. Authors will be able to publish their work through service providers and receive the full financial benefit of their sales on the platform, which will bring new authors into the market and influence the way people consume books.

he Gilgamesh self-publishing platform is a marketplace for industry-related service providers to advertise, gain new opportunities, and contribute to the success of an author or publication.
Authors can browse the service providers by type, fee, or rating to identify recommended editors, printers, and distributors on the platform. They can directly hire service providers on the Gilgamesh platform and pay for services using GIL tokens.

Essentially, the self-publishing platform and marketplace removes the middleman (publishers) from the publishing process, creating an efficient and lucrative resource for authors who want to maintain control of their work. Service providers are charged a small fee based on the income they earn on the platform.

Authors can also use the self-publishing and social platform to create a secure eBook on IPFS & Ethereum smart contracts, register a copyright, or place an in-app advertisement.

• Service providers are copywriters, copy editors, cover designers, illustrators, layout designers, printers, distributors, and marketers
• The Gilgamesh platform is a secure resource for self-publishing an eBook, registering a copyright, or advertising a book to users
• Authors will have full control of their work and will no longer have business partners
• Authors will enjoy more freedom and a higher income, resulting in more books getting published

TOKEN

The Gilgamesh platform will introduce a standard ERC20 token - GIL token, which is based on the Ethereum smart contract that incentivizes participation on the platform. 

GIL token is a utility token meant to be used on Gilgamesh platform. Specifically, it rewards users for meaningful engagements that help grow the platform, such as writing a book review, and can only be purchased from the Gilgamesh platform during the token sale.

The use of GIL tokens will create a fair knowledge ecosystem where tokens are earned in proportion to productive contributions. below are few usecase of GIL tokens:

• Token holders can vote and propose new features and changes on the platform
• Readers can purchase books, eBooks, or audiobooks on the platform
• Authors can pay service providers for self-publishing services
• Service providers will pay a percentage of their income from services to the Gilgamesh platform
• Authors earn GIL tokens from selling books, eBooks, and audiobooks on the platform
• Authors earn GIL tokens from receiving high-ranking review
