## What is Maksa?

Maska is a Web3-based social network designed to make Web3 social networking more profitable and easier.

## Problems with Traditional Social Platforms

#### Traditional social platforms are terrible!&#x20;

On centralized social platforms (Web 2.0), a third-party approach to profitability is usually used, with creators attracting users and advertisers paying creators by creating content. The content created by creators does not directly generate revenue for them, but more often in the form of advertising revenue, merchandising, and paid publicity. For many creators, being able to profit directly from the work itself may be the greatest recognition of the work itself and the creative team. In addition, traditional social platforms also have a strong recommendation preference, and developers have a large portion of the power to control the direction of the platform, which in many cases will give users a sense of being kidnapped by the platform. The user community also has no way to participate in the construction and improvement of the platform. Users are passive participants in the ecosystem, and the community has no initiative.

Maska gives equal rights to every participant and adds a certain economic model to socialization, which ensures that creators can earn without a third party's corner when they output quality content.

At the same time, we also set up a certain reward for participants, we believe that the value of sharing is not limited to creation, but also the value of sharing is to recognize the creation. Secondly, we have set up a DAO, whose members will propose and vote on the development direction of the platform, the use of the DAO fund, the governance and improvement of the platform, and the establishment and development of new topics.

And also, DAO will also have the right to regulate the platform guidelines, maintain platform security, and guarantee freedom of speech.
