the news about the own app

Own, a decentralized social media app built on blockchain technology, launched its public beta on Tuesday as the TikTok deadline to sell its U.S. operations approached. The app offers a swipeable feed of short videos, text posts and images, plus direct messaging, and creators can earn revenue without minimum follower or post requirements. Rewards come through the $OWN Token, which is distributed based on video engagement and is fully tradeable. Kaltak says the app promises creators up to 50% more than other platforms, while the company claims nearly 40,000 people are on its waitlist.
