Launched in 2020, Reddit’s blockchain-based community points system awards users based on the quality of posts. Community points shifted to Arbitrum in 2021 to enhance its ability to scale.
FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried stated: “We’re excited to partner with Reddit to continue their work to empower online communities to harness the power of blockchain”.
Staff Software Engineer at Reddit, Niraj Sheth, added that the platform company is looking to “introduce new ways to use Reddit, and decentralized, self-sustaining blockchain technology allows us to do that.”
