FULL DISCLOSURE: I’ve been waiting for months and months to share what my business partner, Sam Turner, has been creating with the team at Weaver Networks Ltd.! You know how it is when a project isn’t READY to be known yet, and you have to keep mum. Argh! And even at that, I hadn’t heard nearly the whole story. Sam just gave me their White Paper to review so I could have a fresh take on their endeavor! So, get a beverage and a snack…this will be awesome fun!
To avoid overload, I’ll share what Weaver Networks Ltd is creating in two separate articles:
Announcement of their new Website, the Weaverly Support Platform Project, their design for Evos (their Community Reward System), and their platform currency, KudoFuel.
More exciting adjacent projects that we can’t talk about yet! When the team is ready, we’ll share another article update!
Here’s how they describe their Weaverly Platform:
“Weaver Networks Ltd is initially creating an online support platform, Weaverly, based on sharing IT engineering knowledge in peer-to-peer relationships. Weaverly will support individuals to share their knowledge and skills while retaining ownership and reward for their intellectual property. Verified skills authentication and accreditation will be offered to ensure expertise. The reward for sharing their experience will be equitable for the engineers and fair for the users.
To host Weaverly we will use Holo Hosting, which serves a familiar web frontend to a distributed Holochain application backend.”
As someone who isn’t always super technically proficient, hearing that I’ll be able to get some hand-holding to onboard and get set up on Holochain Applications just makes me super happy. And, if I have an issue along the way, I can also request help. I can see that some hApp/Web3 developer groups may not want to do customer service in-house, and would just love to have fully trained IT customer service folks handle these tasks.
Who would use the Weaverly Support Platform? Who makes up the Weaverly Community? I’ve broken it down into “user” categories:
Customer Support Engineers - Those trained and certified in particular Web3 applications, and other technical support requests. (Many of the engineers are likely to have a broad knowledge of operating systems so they’ll be able to support generic issues too, from connectivity issues to system setups.)
Participant Supporters - Those who have other areas of expertise besides technical who add value to the Weaverly Network. For example:
Reporting Bugs
Affiliate introductions for support platform users
Affiliate introductions for acceptance of KudoFuel
Local mentoring to build, onboard and support engineering teams – explaining KudoFuel etc.
Checking knowledge base articles for accuracy and scam links etc.
Clients - Those Web3 applications and/or platforms that would like to use Weaverly’s services to help their internal customers/users. Weaverly’s Customer Service Engineers would be trained and certified in their particular application, ready to respond to requests for support.
Users - Customers of Clients who need support on their application or folks who just need general technical support.
In addition, Weaver Networks Ltd will offer:
Decentralised Peer Community Library - written by the Weaverly IT community and Participant Supporters, that solves the problems the User community is experiencing. Weaverly acknowledges the solving of those issues, authorship is tied to them, with payment systems put in place to honor their contribution. Articles, how-to videos, etc. will be included in this knowledge base!
“Supporting the wider democratization of knowledge, Weaver Networks will develop the marketplace to enable the exchange of a variety of participant skills and knowledge with their community, through peer agreements.”
Evos Community Reward System. “This transparent system uses peer reviews, user statistics, and certification levels to create a safe and accountable community.” Check out the link to dive deeper!
“Kudofuel is a mutual credit currency that aims to provide a fair and equal payment and earning system without inflation. Kudofuel is a hybrid system designed to partly mimic familiar currency systems and features to help people understand and adopt it more easily. As Kudofuel evolves we will expand the reward system towards a more mutual credit-like economy as its real potential becomes more understood.
We will appoint outside organizations to review our KudoFuel Mutual Credit System, our smart contracts, and our data integrity protocols to verify their validity and security.”
A ramp-up period will cover the setup of the platform and mutual credit currency across smaller participant economies, which adjusts to maintain funds as the community grows. This funding is used to cover platform expenses, and the platform uses hREA to share transparent platform budgets”
The folks at Weaverly will not be offering an ICO of their KudoFuel currency. We will happily keep you all updated as to their next steps with KudoFuel!
I’m super excited that Weaver Networks will offer opportunities for IT engineers and others with needed skills/talents to be able to earn mutual credit currency for supporting the expansion of the amazing Holochain Ecosystem! And, that their platform will be able to be white-labeled for Client use, as well as replicable for other support platform opportunities!

Blog: Fractal Tribute: Bridging Blockchains and Holochain
“Fractal Tribute is a collaborative art game built on Holochain and inspired by r/place.
In this real time game, players make “moves” by placing pixels on a shared canvas, building upon all previous moves, and thus coordinating to draw new patterns and art. Each player is limited in the number of pixels they can place at one time, requiring them to work with other players to shape the canvas into particular designs. It’s a game of community building, artistic expression, and collaborative play. “
Event: Play the game of Fractal Tribute running from November 2nd at 15:00 GMT to November 7th 15:00 GMT.
