GLYPH
Earn BSV for curating great content.
What is Glyph?
Glyph rewards people who find and share great content.
The internet has too much noise. Twitter threads decay. Bookmarks gather dust. Algorithms optimize for engagement, not quality.
Glyph is a different model: curation with economic incentives. Create themed lists of the best content on the web. Curate with collaborators. Earn BSV microtransactions when people discover value in what you've collected.
Every upvote, downvote, and follow is a microtransaction. Every list is a signal of quality. Early discoverers are rewarded through a built-in discovery pool.
Getting Started in 3 Steps
1. Install a BSV Wallet
Download BSV Desktop or HandCash Desktop for Windows, macOS, or Linux, or install Yours Wallet for Chrome. All are free and open source. You'll need a small amount of BSV to participate — a vote costs 0.005 USD and a follow 0.01 USD.
2. Connect your wallet
Click “Connect Wallet” in the top-right corner. If both Yours Wallet and a desktop wallet are running, Glyph asks which to connect to. Otherwise it auto-detects the wallet that’s available. If using a desktop wallet, make sure it’s running before connecting. Your keys stay on your machine — Glyph never touches them.
3. Create your first list
Pick a topic you're passionate about. Add links, articles, or content. Share it. When people upvote your content or follow your list, you earn BSV. Lists and content appear instantly — Glyph records them on-chain in the background (a brief “recording…” chip shows until the transaction confirms).
How It Works
Create themed lists
Build collections of links, articles, and content around any topic. Add titles, descriptions, and tags to help others find them.
Browse in two panes
Discover puts the lists on the left and their content on the right — pick a list to open it beside the rail, or keep the rail scrolled for the global feed. On mobile the list picker is a bottom sheet. Filter by scope, sort, minimum items, or followers.
Vote on content with microtransactions
Every upvote or downvote sends a small BSV payment (0.005 USD) to the creator and the discovery pool. Switching a vote is a single transaction but pays two fees — removing the old vote and placing the new one. This keeps the signal honest and prevents vote-spam bots.
Earn from curation
Creators earn 20% of each upvote and downvote. Platform takes 10%. The remaining 70% goes to the discovery pool (independent per vote type) — shared by every upvoter.
Curate, suggest, and follow
Follow lists you trust. Suggest content to lists. Tip great curators. Build reputation as a signal of quality.
What Does It Cost?
Plus a small network mining fee (~25–50 sats). All prices convert from USD to sats at the current BSV market rate.
Economic Model
Discovery Pool
The discovery pool is what makes Glyph different. When someone follows a list, 70% of the payment goes into a pool shared by every follower — no top-slice window. The pool is split equally among all current followers, so the earlier you join, the more pools you share in as the list grows.
Example: Alice creates a list. Bob follows it first (pays 0.01 USD). Later, Charlie also follows it (0.01 USD). Of Charlie's payment: ~20% goes to Alice (creator), ~10% to the platform, and ~70% enters the discovery pool. With just Bob and Charlie in the pool, they split it — Bob's share of this pool plus every future pool rewards his early signal.
As more people follow, every follower shares each new pool. The platform deliberately takes no pool seat — the pool pays users only.
Why Bitcoin SV (BSV)?
Bitcoin SV restores Bitcoin's original protocol — unbounded blocks, low fees, and massive throughput. This makes microtransactions economically viable: a vote or follow can cost fractions of a cent. No second layers, no state channels — just direct on-chain payments with SPV proofs.
Every action on Glyph that creates value produces a real BSV transaction. The BEEF relay pattern ensures your wallet signs and you stay in control. The backend never holds your keys.
BSV Wallets
Glyph supports three BRC-100 compliant wallets: BSV Desktop, HandCash Desktop and Yours Wallet. All support BEEF relay, SPV proofs, and on-chain actions. Glyph auto-detects which wallet you have installed.
- BSV Desktop — Download for Windows, macOS, or Linux. Free and open source.
- HandCash Desktop — Download for Windows, macOS, or Linux. Free and open source.
- Yours Wallet — Chrome extension. No download needed. Free and open source.
