Block.one invests $ 150M in its social network Voice

Block.one, the company behind the blockchain EOS, invested $ 150 million in his social media platform Voice.

Unveiled last year and built on blockchain EOS, Voice aims to offer a new model of social media which rewards users and content creators.

Following an incubation period of 9 months, the project has just received $ 150 million from its parent company Block.one and will now continue to operate independently.

With Voice intending to fundamentally change the functioning of social media platforms, it was the right time to Block.one hand over the reins to Salah Zalatimo (CEO of Voice) and allow Voice to grow under his leadership, ”said Block.one Director Brendan Blumer.

Voice actually came into beta phase on February 14. First users are invited to comment and report potential bugs.

We have witnessed a deep loss of trust on social media sites due to their opaque use of personal data […] Voice wants to restore trust by promoting authenticity, transparency and humanity in our community, "added Salah Zalatimo.
