Cryptews Litepaper
Version 1.0 — by IGH Group
A decentralized read-to-earn media platform for the crypto ecosystem.
1. Abstract
Cryptews is a Web3-native crypto news aggregation platform that implements a Read-to-Earn model — rewarding users with USDT for consuming verified news content. By combining curated content delivery with on-chain identity and stablecoin micro-rewards, Cryptews creates a sustainable attention economy where readers are stakeholders, not products.
2. Problem Statement
The traditional digital media model extracts value from readers through advertising while paying them nothing. Simultaneously, the crypto information landscape is fragmented, noisy, and difficult to navigate. Readers spend significant time filtering signal from noise but receive no economic benefit for doing so.
- News platforms monetize attention without sharing value with readers
- Quality crypto information is scattered across hundreds of sources
- New crypto projects struggle to reach engaged, relevant audiences
- Bot-driven traffic inflates engagement metrics, undermining trust
3. Solution: Cryptews
Cryptews addresses these problems through three core mechanisms:
Content Aggregation
RSS-based aggregation from vetted crypto news portals, combined with user-submitted original articles, ensures a steady stream of quality content.
Proof-of-Read
Engagement is verified via time-spent tracking, IP-level deduplication, and cross-account abuse detection. Only genuine reads are rewarded.
USDT Micro-Rewards
USDT stablecoin rewards eliminate volatility risk. Readers earn real purchasing power for real attention — not speculative tokens.
4. Tokenomics / Reward Model
Cryptews uses USDT as its reward currency — a deliberate choice to provide immediate, stable value to readers without introducing speculative tokenomics.
- Per-article reward: Fixed USDT amount set by admin (configurable)
- Earning trigger: Minimum time spent on article (default: 10 seconds)
- Limits: One earn per user per article, per IP per article
- Anti-abuse: Cross-account IP detection blocks multi-account farming
- Withdrawal: Manual withdrawal requests processed within 24–72 hours
5. Revenue Model
The platform is self-sustaining through multiple revenue streams:
- News Portal Listings: Publishers pay USDT subscription fees to list their RSS feeds
- Sponsored News Posts: Content creators pay per-article submission fees
- Ad Slots: Display advertising on the platform
- Premium Features: Future premium tiers for publishers and readers
6. Anti-Fraud Architecture
Cryptews implements layered abuse prevention to ensure reward integrity:
- Unique constraint per user+article pair at the database level
- IP-level deduplication: same IP cannot earn from the same article twice
- Cross-account detection: users sharing an IP history are blocked from double-earning
- Transaction hash uniqueness: each payment txn hash can only be used once
- Server-side time validation: client-reported read time is validated server-side
7. Supported Networks
Cryptews supports USDT payments and withdrawals on the following EVM-compatible networks:
