Qoop

What Qoop does

Qoop is a private, pre-revenue web3 platform that operates an anonymous question-and-answer marketplace where individual consumers can earn tradable digital assets for posting questions. Incorporated as Qoop Inc. and headquartered in Torrance, California, the company targets general consumers globally who want to ask sensitive or curiosity-driven questions without revealing their identity while potentially capturing monetary value from those questions. The product is currently distributed in beta through Apple TestFlight (iOS) and the Google Play Store (Android), with social login supported via Facebook and Twitter. No enterprise customers, partnerships, awards, patents, or institutional investors are disclosed in the available data, and the public management profile lists only founder and CEO Young-hu Kim.

The platform's underlying architecture is built on blockchain and NFT primitives. The central artifact is "Poyo," an NFT that encapsulates a user's question together with its public answers and accrues value via "Tama" tokens that accumulate when other users vote on the question. A complementary token, "Feed," is consumed each time a user casts a vote, creating a closed-loop economic system. The company has additionally designed a community-driven moderation layer ("Bounty Questions") that routes flagged content to a voting area and rewards participants with Feed. The platform currently exposes no public API, SDK, or documented AI/ML capabilities, and there are no research publications, proprietary models, or named data assets on record.

Qoop's revenue model is structured around transaction fees. According to the company's own documentation, users will eventually be able to trade Poyo NFTs for money, with the platform appearing to take a cut of secondary trades, and Feed tokens can be purchased directly through an in-app Feed shop. There is no published pricing schedule, no disclosed paying customers, no funding rounds on record, and Terms of Service coverage spans roughly 18 jurisdictions — predominantly European countries (GBR, IRL, LVA, CZE, DNK, POL, ESP, SWE, SVK, DEU, HUN, LTU, LUX, NLD, FRA, AUT) plus the United States and Canada.

Core offering

Qoop is a web3 mobile platform where individual users ask unique, anonymous questions and other users cast anonymous votes on those questions. Each user question is packaged into a Poyo NFT that holds value via Tama tokens earned as the question receives votes; Feed tokens are spent to vote and can be purchased in-app. Users can earn one Poyo for every ten votes cast and may eventually trade Poyo NFTs for money, while community moderation is handled through a Bounty Questions self-policing system rewarded with Feed.

Product overview

Qoop is a web3 platform consisting of an integrated product ecosystem. The core platform enables users to create unique questions and cast anonymous votes, while Poyo (an NFT) contains the user's question and public answers. The economic system is powered by two token types: Tama represents the value accumulated when others vote on your questions and can be traded for money, while Feed is the token spent when voting. Users earn one Poyo for every ten votes cast, and can earn additional Feed by answering promotional questions or purchasing it directly.

Direct peers

• Quora: The dominant public Q&A platform globally, serving the same core use case of asking questions and collecting crowd-sourced answers. Quora is the most direct functional comparison to Qoop, though it lacks tokenized/NFT-based ownership of Q&A content.
• Stack Exchange: Network of Q&A sites with reputation-based incentive systems. Comparable to Qoop in core Q&A mechanics, though Stack Exchange is knowledge-domain oriented rather than opinion-based and has no token/NFT layer.
• Reddit: Hosts thousands of subreddit-based Q&A communities and has experimented with community tokens (Community Points) and NFTs. Reddit is a direct competitor for user attention on opinion/question content and has deeper resources and network effects.
• Yik Yak: Anonymous location-based social/Q&A platform. Comparable to Qoop on the anonymity axis and the consumer Q&A use case, though without tokenized incentives and historically constrained by harassment moderation challenges.

Emerging players

• DeSo (BitClout): Decentralized social blockchain with creator coins and NFT-based profiles. Overlaps with Qoop on Web3 social infrastructure and tokenized content, but targets broad social networking rather than Q&A specifically.
• Friend.tech: Web3 social app that tokenized social graphs via tradable 'keys.' Closest comparable on the Web3 social-token mechanic side, sharing Qoop's bet that consumer social interactions can be financialized, though focused on creator access rather than Q&A content.
• Lens Protocol: Decentralized social graph built on Ethereum with NFT-based profiles and posts. Comparable as Web3-native social infrastructure where content ownership is portable; Qoop's Poyo NFTs draw on similar primitives but in a closed Q&A vertical.
• Mirror.xyz: Web3 publishing platform where posts are NFTs and writers earn via tokenization. Comparable to Qoop in the NFT-as-content-asset model, though Mirror targets long-form publishing rather than short-form Q&A.
• Farcaster: Decentralized social protocol with Frames and tokenized engagement. Comparable as a well-funded Web3 social network pursuing consumer adoption; represents the kind of competitor Qoop would face if mobile Web3 social takes off.

Broad incumbents

• Twitter / X Polls: Hosts massive volumes of public opinion polling via posts and polls. Represents the dominant incumbent channel for 'see what everyone is curious about' — the exact value prop Qoop markets — and competes for the same creator attention.
