Sharing the latest pictures of avocado toasts and latte hearts with the world might become a part of the crypto economy. A startup called Selfllery wants to create a new take on that of social media influencers on Instagram, Snapchat and other well-known picture sharing platforms- just with a crypto twist.

“From the rock art to modern ads, humans have placed value on art,” says Vadim Onishchenko, founder and CEO of Selfllery. We have just tipped over to 2018, but according to statistics about 1.2 tln digital photos were taken last year. Today’s social networks have mechanisms in place for users to make money from their online activity, adds Onishchenko.

It can be thrilling for most of the users whenever a ‘thumb’ or ‘heart’ ping on their screens signaling someone out there in the internet multiverse likes their photo. Now, Selfllery wants to double the thrill by giving people the opportunity to get paid for each ‘like’ their share photo receives. People with huge amounts of followers could earn huge amount of money, the company emphasizes. But there is also an alternative way by selling your photos to the built-in stock photo market, and businesses can also benefit from their advertising on the platform.
