In the world of storytelling, customization and innovation are no longer optional. Meeting this challenge head-on is Kosmos, the newest entrant in the burgeoning Web3 space. This innovative platform, spearheaded by BlockSafe’s Kenneth Null, is currently being developed as a collaborative publishing tool empowered by Blockchain technology and Artificial Intelligence. Also instrumental to the project is AI expert Felix Norden, who is helping Kosmos to curate user experiences that prioritize immersion while minimizing the creator’s workload.
The inception of Kosmos was fueled by a desire to reform storytelling. At its helm is lead writer Rae Wojcik, whose quest to find a community-driven publishing outlet led her to Stephen Poynter, a Web3 investor, author, and entrepreneur. United by a shared frustration with the constraints of conventional platforms like Kindle and Wattpad, Wojcik and Poynter envisioned an alternative that strengthens the liaison between storytellers and their audience by offering compelling, interactive reader experiences.
Their dream is now being actualized as Kosmos, which will remain under development until Q1 2024. Eager creators, writers, and story enthusiasts are encouraged to visit kosmosapp.com or follow @kosmos_stories on Twitter for updates, early access, and exclusive content.
Upon its launch, Kosmos will feature exclusive content from flagship partners like Neo Tokyo, NonFungibleArcade, Worlds Beyond, Alpha District, The Kingdom, Neo MasterPiece Films, BeNFT, This Thing of Ours, and Sitka World, each ingrained in the Web3 ecosystem. These partners are poised to serve as living testaments to the transformative power of Kosmos, echoing its capabilities to their communities.
Under the careful watch of CEO Stephen Poynter, Kosmos is committed to delivering a user-centric experience. Poynter himself said: “When you go to an individual story, it should feel like you are in that story world.” In line with this ethos, Kosmos will offer both free and paid tiers, with creators retaining the freedom to set their prices.
As an official project incubated by Hourglass ($WAIT), Kosmos has an enviable lineup of advisors and angel investors. High-profile names like Jett Tang of ‘The next Crypto Gem’, Jeff Mahony of SaveDaily Holdings Corp and NEFT Vodka USA, Inc., George Tung from Cryptos R Us, and Inc. 500 entrepreneur Brian D. Evans of BDE Ventures are folded into the project. Collectively, these industry titans are fueling the mission to democratize storytelling with their wealth of experience and influence.
As it stands, Kosmos represents a stride towards the future of storytelling. It heralds a paradigm shift away from the conventional and towards a realm where authors are empowered creators, audiences are immersed readers, and stories are interactive experiences. Every function of this platform ultimately serves one core purpose: to narrate stories that resonate, captivate and cultivate a community of connected readers and inspired creators.
