GILGAMESH Knowledge sharing social network platform based on Ethereum Blockchain

About Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh is a knowledge-sharing social platform powered by Ethereum smart contracts and blockchain technology. The network shifts the way readers, critics, and authors communicate and connect with one another.

Using the Gilgamesh platform, users can gain and transfer knowledge in a protected environment that encourages widespread learning and education, and incentivizes the human race to become more thoughtful and information-centric.

Productive interactions and engagements on the Gilgamesh platform earn users GIL Tokens, on the Ethereum blockchain through smart contracts. They can spend GIL tokens on in-app goods and services, or to vote on the governance of the platform.

The Problem
Books have been our main source of knowledge for thousands of years. However, with the advent of new technologies and the internet, there is no simple, meaningful, and productive platform that encourages book readers and authors to connect, engage, and gain knowledge.
Instead, the market is full of stagnant and outdated platforms that no longer satisfy the demands of the book community.

1. Authors and readers are not connected
2. Readers can not socialize and share knowledge with other readers
3. Authors do not get real-time feedback and reviews of their books

Publishers are the middleman

Powerful publishing companies control the industry by limiting authors' ability to contribute to the market, earn a fair wage, and retain the rights to their work.

By maintaining control of the industry, publishers ensure their position as an intermediary in most book publications and sales, and earn high commissions with minimal threat to their position in the publishing process.

In general, publishers are nothing more than middlemen infringing on authors' rights and taking advantage of the power they hold. The influence publishers have creates a barrier to communication and access between authors, publishing service providers, and readers.

1. Publishers hold all the monetary and legal power
2. Publishers prohibit open communication between authors and industry-based service providers
3. Self-publishing requires too much start up capital for most authors
4. Authors are leaving the market to earn a living wage in other industries

Gilgamesh Platform is the Solution

The Gilgamesh platform provides a unique, simple user experience that encourages readers to engage and connect with one another, consume more informative content, and gain knowledge.

The platform is an open market for users to socialize; find, buy, review, and discuss books; and directly influence the publishing industry. Authors will be able to publish their work through service providers and receive the full financial benefits of their sales on the platform, which will bring new authors into the market and influence the way people consume books.

1. Readers, critics, and authors can connect socially
2. The platform revitalizes the book industry and creates a friendly and fun environment for the book community
3. Gilgamesh removes the publisher as middleman; authors can purchase services from self-publishing service providers on the platform
4. Authors and service providers earn a fair, living wage for their sales and services
5. Users create their own opportunities for success and become happier, more intelligent people.

Gilgamesh Platform Architecture

Gilgamesh is a knowledge-sharing social platform that leverages blockchain technology, IPFS, and Ethereum smart contracts to create a fair knowledge-based market. The platform is divided into two distinctive segments:
Economic & Engagement Flow and Governance
Flow

Economics & Engagement Flow
Readers, critics, authors, and service providers earn GIL tokens as a reward for their productive contribution and influence on the platform, such as writing useful reviews and book summaries. They can use GIL tokens to pay for a service from a service provider, place an advertisement on the platform, or purchase a book, eBooks, or audiobook on the platform. Service providers earn GIL tokens for the services they provide for authors, and spend them on platform fees or to place an advertisement on the platform.

Ethereum & IPFS
Gilgamesh leverages blockchain technology to create a secure, democratic, censorship-free platform. Ethereum smart contracts will be used to create ERC20 utility token that incentivize users in proportion to their contribution and ensure fair governance by the community. Accordingly, the Ethereum blockchain is a great fit for decentralized, censorship-free, secure, and open platforms. The Gilgamesh platform encrypts all sensitive information and book files, storing a distributed file system on IPFS to ensure security and prevent censorship.

Governance Flow
GIL token buyers, service providers, users, and the Gilgamesh team are all token holders on the Gilgamesh platform. Token holders are responsible for making suggestions and voting on the governance of the platform. Correspondingly, voting power is maintained on the Ethereum blockchain through the use of smart contracts to ensure a fair market economy.

Monetization
The Gilgamesh platform earns GIL tokens from advertisements paid by authors and service providers, and platform fees charged by service providers. The platform also earns GIL tokens from commissions on book sales, specifically from authors who self-publish and sell their books on the platform.

Conclusion
Skiral Inc. is proposing the development of the Gilgamesh platform for knowledge-seekers, authors, and publishing services providers to progress peer-to-peer information sharing, improve publishing opportunities for authors, and provide an outlet for service providers to gain clients.

Token holders in the Gilgamesh platform will have the opportunity to gain access to the governance of the platform through staking GIL tokens. In the future, the Gilgamesh platform will upturn current publishing practices and provide authors with a resource for secure, protected, and income stabilizing publishing opportunities.

The Gilgamesh platform is the first endeavor for Skiral Inc. to propel the human race forward. The application is a tool to encourage more people to take control of the information they consume, gain knowledge, learn new skills, and expand their interests. By creating the platform on the Ethereum network, IPFS, and utilizing the GIL token as an incentive, the Gilgamesh platform will organize to build trust, security, and opportunity for anyone who wants to participate.
