The transition from Web2 to Web 3 represents a significant evolution in the architecture, functionality, and philosophy of the internet.  While some are unsure about the challenges and uncertainties of Web3, we are witnessing technological advancements, market forces, and social trends that make the mass-adoption of Web3 an inevitability.   The Sharp Platform is a Web3 Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) which will lower the barrier of entry for organizations and developers looking to participate in the Web3 economy and to leverage Web3 technologies to build innovative, secure, decentralized applications and services.     

The Sharp Innovation Foundation created the Sharp Platform as a SocialFi, secure, scalable, Web3 platform for member-based businesses and communities that want to introduce digital assets and a digital economy to their existing users or to implement new digital and Web3 technologies.

The Sharp Platform offers an innovative and customizable suite of emerging technologies such as blockchain, Web3, intelligent cloud, mobile, and voice-enabled technologies which are digitally fueled by environmentally sustainable Sharp Tokens.

The Sharp Innovation Foundation’s Director, Praveen Kumar states, “The Sharp Platform is an intelligent and decentralized social networking platform that harnesses the power of blockchain and emerging technologies to empower community engagement and dynamic growth, while driving the holistic development of individuals.  A key objective of the Sharp Platform is to become the most widely adopted platform for software creators and builders.”

CSharpCorner Selected as a Sharp Platform Launch Partner

A major step in accomplishing that objective will occur when their first go-to-market partner, CSharpCorner, adopts the Sharp Platform.  CSharpCorner is the premier online global community for software developers and IT professionals. Over 29 million annual users come to CSharpCorner to focus on education, personal development, career growth, connections, and knowledge-sharing.

CSharpCorner provides a comprehensive array of software development resources including articles, eBooks, tutorials, code samples, forums, webinars, and its educational TV network, CSharpTV. Additionally, it organizes events, hackathons, global conferences, and user group meetings to foster networking and learning experiences. With a focus on empowering developers, CSharpCorner offers valuable content, an interactive community, online courses, certifications, and global conferences, enabling users to strengthen their skills and advance their careers.

Mahesh Chand, CEO of CSharpCorner said “The Sharp Platform’s growth economy model will give our users a feeling of ownership and empowerment by earning tangible rewards for their time, passion, and energy, while giving them global exposure to showcase their skills and expertise. The intent is to create an interactive user experience while helping advance the user’s personal and professional growth by learning, sharing, earning, and giving back, in a gamified environment.”

The Sharp Platform will enable CSharpCorner users to earn Sharp Tokens through various content contributions, engaging in actions such as mentoring, serving as ambassadors, marketers, and developers. Its users will have the freedom to use their Sharp Tokens on the platform for personal and professional growth including access to exclusive content, certifications, training, live events, employment matching, or to hire experts on the platform for services like career coaching, mentoring, and freelance work.

Parveen Kumar says that the Sharp Innovation Foundation is in discussions with other on-line communities outside of the software development space who are interested in utilizing the Sharp Platform to introduce digital assets to foster community and user incentives.   He says “On-line community managers and platform owners have increasingly recognized the importance of fostering engagement and allegiance among community members.  The Sharp Platform’s advanced technologies bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3 with emerging technologies that can be customized to create white-label incentives that will serve as a powerful tool to encourage participation and loyalty.”
