What Is Trybe's Mission
The platforms tagline is 'Decentralized Intelligence,' and the goal is to spread accurate and quality knowledge to the masses, in the process compensating content creators for their effort and time. This was the goal of the steem platform, but we are limited to blog posts and for faster interaction, we must either go to a separate page such as steem.chat, or send a transaction with a memo note attached.
Too many times we see low-quality posts rise to the top of the 'charts,' something we can relate to here on the steem platform. I am not sure how they will combat bots, and bots will be usable on Trybe, but I am sure that if an API is presented, it will be abused.
Experts on the subject don’t share their knowledge with the community as much as they otherwise might because there is no financial incentive to do so. And when they do, there is no good curation mechanism on most social network sites apart from “popularity” which often means low-quality content rises to the top simply because it’s sensationalist or otherwise provocative.
About The Platform
Trybe is a new social platform that ups the stakes in the interaction arena and is a fantastic example of why zero transaction fees are more important than the dollar value of account creation. The plethora of interactions possible that will take place on Trybe by a single user would make the platform unusable on a blockchain that charges per transaction fees. Yes, I am a little biased towards EOS but I feel that we the community need to defend against the unjustified, unverified assault that is currently taking place against EOS.
It is still in beta, so bugs are expected, and I have felt a few, but my first impressions are that if successful, it will be a valuable addition to the crypto community. As this is a new platform, even with the current bugs, it is a prime time to build up a following, post original content and forums you would like before the masses fall in. Trybe runs on the fundamental principles of crypto in that the posters get paid for good content via the native ONE token which is given out based on ratings from other community members.
Some of the features offered are:
- Personal Blogs
- Forums
- Premium content
- RSS feed
- Course creation
RAM Trading Forum
I have started a forum on the site to discuss the intricacies of RAM trading to help people who want to get involved, and perhaps help each other profit in the process. If you would link to join in the discussion, please use the link below, I will receive some of the native tokens as a referral for transparency http://trybe.one/ref/681/?campaign=RamTradingForum
Is There An Airdrop
Yes, there is. The team will be airdropping ONE tokens to those who held EOS holders when the genesis snapshot was taken. I can only assume that when the airdrop completes, we will see the platform mature a little and the system should stabilize.
An airdrop of 50,000,000 ONE will be distributed a few months after EOS mainnet launch (around August 2018). 100 ONE will be given to all EOS holders from the original June 2 snapshot.

Thanks that time worked
Great info! Wasn't aware, it existed already! EOS really seems to turn into a platform for Social Media Ventures. Looks like steemers will really need to fasten their seatbelts (and get HF20 done already ;-) )
