Users will be able to create, read, update, like, comment and \u2018repeep\u2019 to other users their posts and other posts on the platform. We also introduce a creator-support ecosystem where users can tip other users for content that they enjoy on the platform.\n2. Recommendation algorithm: The DApp will run a Recommendation Algorithm engine inside of the Cartesi machine which generates users' recommendations for posts and other content based on their activities within the DApp. The recommendation algorithm tracks activities such as likes, comments and posts which suggest the user's interests and recommends to the user similar content. It will also seek to incorporate machine learning in classifying the posts made by users into predefined categories which will aid in suggesting post recommendations.\n3. Web 3 Wallet: This feature distinguishes Peeps from other existing social media platforms as it allows users to leverage decentralized finance (DeFi) brought upon by Blockchain technology. Users regardless of their location can send and receive funds as well as other digital assets to be used within Peeps. Tokens to be used in Peeps will facilitate the tipping functionality of the micro-blogging feature.\n4.
