Benzinga – The Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) network announced its own community-based social token ecosystem, Alpha. The decentralized social network protocol, Alpha, is like the Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH)-based platform Friend.tech.
Alpha will enable users to monetize their online persona and content creation via its social tokens. Interested users can buy other accounts’ tokens to interact with them or gain exclusive access from the seller, Cointelegraph reports.
Alpha is anchored on the Bitcoin blockchain, while the Polygon blockchain is used for data storage. Trustless Computer is the project’s own scaling network for Bitcoin and it uses Optimistic Roll-up technology which will provide security and efficiency for deploying decentralized applications, according to Cointelegraph.
Trustless Computer is a low-cost layer 2 infrastructure that can enable applications such as decentralized exchange (DEX), DAOs or NFT marketplace on Bitcoin.

The founder of Alpha, pseudo-named Punk3700, who is also a member of the New Bitcoin City told Cointelegraph about a new referral program being built enabling users to earn 1% of their friends’ trading volume, encouraging users to invite friends to the platform and inspiring content creators to create more valuable content.
Alpha works by users purchasing tokens connected to content creators, which are then used to access exclusive content.
