Propeller Launches As First DApp Built on River Protocol

June 26, 2024 – New York, New York

New Web 3.0 community platform aims to improve product feedback and user engagement.

Today, LCA announces the launch of Propeller, the first DApp (decentralized application) built on the open-source communications protocol, River.

Propeller is set to transform the way product teams engage with their users, gather meaningful product feedback and build community.

“The River Protocol was designed to empower communities with enhanced privacy, security, reputation and ownership. Propeller is a perfect example of how these principles can be applied to create a more engaged and valued user base.

“We are thrilled to support Propeller as the first DApp on our protocol and look forward to seeing its impact on community engagement and product development.”

With River’s token-gated memberships and on-chain verification, Propeller ensures that product feedback comes from verified community members.

Each membership exists as an NFT (non-fungible token), providing proof of early…
