Channels in Sage Protocol are decentralized community spaces designed for flexible membership, transparent incentives, and customizable interactions. Built to be fully composable, Channels integrate easily with Sage-compatible apps, enabling open communities and seamless cross-app engagement.

​
Key Features of Channels:

Onchain Identity and Customization

  • Each channel is a unique blockchain entity, clearly defined by metadata:
    • Avatars and banners
    • Descriptions and names
  • Transparently communicates channel purpose, values, and focus.

Flexible Membership Rules

  • Channels support customizable membership conditions:
    • Fee-based access (paid in $SUI)
    • Invite-only participation
  • Enables creators to precisely tailor community criteria to their objectives.

Built-In Economic Incentives

  • Integrated directly with Sage’s Proof of Social Contribution (PoSC).
  • Members earn explicit rewards in $TRUST tokens for verified social interactions.
  • Incentivizes genuine participation and authentic community engagement.

Dedicated Content Feeds

  • Provides blockchain-native content feeds.
  • Users post, comment, and engage transparently, maintaining ownership and verifiable content attribution.

Robust Administrative Controls

  • Comprehensive moderation tools for channel administrators:
    • Moderator management
    • User membership oversight
    • Enforcement of clear community guidelines
  • Ensures consistently high-quality social interactions.

Transaction Fee Sponsorship

  • Enables apps to subsidize or fully sponsor user transaction fees.
  • Reduces barriers to participation, promoting sustained community engagement.

Cross-App Composability

  • Channels have global visibility across the Sage ecosystem.
  • Users can seamlessly participate from multiple apps.
  • Developers can easily integrate, reference, and build upon existing channels, enhancing interconnected user experiences.

Future Roadmap

  • Community Governance: Upcoming protocol updates will introduce decentralized governance mechanisms, allowing channel members to collaboratively shape channel policies and actively influence broader protocol decisions—promoting transparency, participation, and community-driven evolution.
