Apps in Sage Protocol are decentralized, onchain entities with unique identities and customizable configurations. They leverage decentralized identities, transparent incentives, and modular social primitives, allowing developers to build engaging user experiences aligned with economic incentives and community values.

Key Features of Sage Apps

Unique App Identity and Customization

  • Each App has its own distinct onchain identity.
  • Clearly defined through customizable metadata:
    • Name and description
    • Branding elements (imagery, banners, avatars)
  • Clearly communicates purpose and branding to users.

Reward Customization (Upcoming Governance)

  • Currently, Sage’s Proof of Social Contribution (PoSC) rewards are standardized across the ecosystem (posting, liking, commenting share common weights).
  • Future decentralized governance mechanisms will allow community-driven customization:
    • Enable Apps to tailor rewards to user needs.
    • Transparently adjust reward parameters based on community feedback.

Social Graph Integration

  • Apps seamlessly integrate Sage’s decentralized, Sybil-resistant social graph.
  • Leverage user-owned identities, transparent connections, and community structures.
  • Deliver personalized and contextually rich user experiences.

Content Management

Blockchain-native content management tools empower Apps to:

  • Transparently create, curate, and monetize content.
  • Maintain full user ownership and verifiable content attribution.

Governance and Administrative Controls

Robust administrative capabilities for App developers and admins:

  • Role management and permissions.
  • Dynamic adjustment of app-specific configurations and settings.
  • Flexible reward management.
  • Tools to proactively respond to user feedback and engagement trends.

Transaction Fee Sponsorship (Upcoming Capability)

  • Planned future feature allowing Apps to sponsor or subsidize user transaction fees.
  • Reduces barriers to participation, significantly boosting user adoption and retention.

Community Integration

  • Directly integrates modular community components (e.g., Channels).
  • Supports transparent memberships, verifiable interactions, and incentivized participation.
  • Facilitates vibrant, community-driven interactions across the Sage ecosystem.
