Diverse Array of Creators with Rusty Matveev

The DIVI Crypto Podcast

In today's episode of The DIVI Crypto Podcast, we are talking with Rusty Matveev, Chief Strategy Officer of Calaxy. Calaxy is The Open Social Marketplace For Creators, By Creators. With an array of both familiar and new application properties, a diverse group of creators offers much more direct and intimate experiences for fans that they all will come be able to use. By using Hedera Hashgraph, a blockchain alternative, Calaxy's in-app experience places today’s fan at the epicenter of all the action, removing historical intermediaries. Calaxy features an interface to include a huge amount of features for fans to interact and engage right with their favorite Creators, such as video calls, and content subscription services. The first feature set includes what Calaxy Inc. and its First 100 Creators have decided to be a new industry standard. This enables the Calaxy App to become a “one-stop-shop” for various methods of interaction and monetization. Everyone on the Calaxy App is provided with a non-custodial Hedera account. Tehy pay fees in $HBAR when transacting in the application, as well as Calaxy Tokens ($CLXY), serving as the gas and the governance for the broader, permissionless Creator’s Galaxy ecosystem. The Calaxy App allows for an easy-to-use port for the Creator’s Galaxy, providing a diverse array of Creators including: celebrities, athletes, artists, and influencers to easily mint social tokens and non-fungible tokens, as well as to manage requests for their time. As we have seen with a multitude of various other efforts, such as Twitter’s bluesky, or Mastodon, there is a defined trend in the social media industry towards a related, interoperable future, where posts flow seamlessly through third-party applications, giving users highly customizable experiences. In addition, with projects like Tim Berners-Lee’s Solid, or technologies like the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) and Filecoin, Calaxy sees a future where users are the ones that own their own data. Furthermore, they can control over where their data is stored, or to easily export their content and followers to wherever they want to go to next. This then removes the vendor lock in and the limitations that are in the current web 2.0 social media giants. By making use of decentralized oracles, such as the Chainlink network, Calaxy has the opportunity to provide various degrees of independently verifiable and auditable off-chain options. Some examples of these features can include the option to represent how many followers a user has on social media at any time, or a branded aggregate algorithmically determined Creator Score.
