Cityverse represents the evolution of local news into 'civic media'. It delivers quality journalism via Catalyst news, and then leverages the best tools, incentives and methods from the internet and social media to expand the value of Cityverse into a full civic platform. Tools collect rare and important information like high school sports scores, neighborhood newsletter articles and community events. Incentives drive local thought leaders, creators and experts to bring their content to the platform. Methods like a personal social profile with publishing tools provide citizens a platform to express themselves. The net result is that Cityverse will be the most valuable content resource in every city in which it launches, which also positions it to be the dominant provider of the most valuable commodity: attention. With saturated attention and daily active use, the true potential of Cityverse is unlocked as we add on-platform value. An example: In each Cityverse we'll provide a free gallery for every local artist, creating a virtual art district. Works will be aggregated into an art marketplace. Transactions will be celebrated on an 'art news ticker.' Purchased art will be automatically displayed in the buyer's NFT gallery, unlocking the social value. We'll top off the placemaking value with a Cityverse digital art museum in each city. This is just one of endless use cases in which Cityverse will take what already exists in a city and make it more efficient, connected and potent. Ultimately, the Cityverse platform will be the de facto destination for all new virtual progress in a city. From new media to life enhancers like games, shopping and social connection to hard services like emergency management, Cityverse will be as ubiquitous as the value of the attention it delivers.
