WOM Protocol Development Update: June 2021

[Jobayer Hasan Rahi]

Over the past few months we’ve been laser focused on strategic developments that support our overall goals.

Top of the list is protecting our community and following a rising number of attacks, we have successfully taken steps to enhance our overall security and eliminate fraudulent activity. We published an article in May to explain why and how we protect ourselves from spammers and other malicious actors and you can read more on the latest implemented measures and their impact below.

Growing WOM’s network value is another business priority that has taken center stage since our last update. We’ve published previously about YEAY’s Team feature, which enables community collaboration in order to increase overall network economic value and you will find more details on the latest enhancements to Teams to support this goal below.


Aside from this, we have made a number of improvements to our native elements to enhance our user experience and stamped out more bugs with plenty of testing and iteration along the way.

The following provides a detailed overview of the WOM and YEAY changelog from March 2021 to June 2021. As always, we have combined the update to feature progress across both WOM and YEAY, as the development of one is necessarily dependent on the other.

Preventing Fraudulent Activity
We have now implemented automated systems for detecting spammers in both the YEAY and WOM systems. We are pleased to report that from the moment that we released this feature we were able to automatically catch around 90 percent of spammers on both systems. This update was accompanied by clear and open communication with our community about the difficult decisions we have had to take, including further clarification in our Terms & Conditions.

Driving Network Growth
The Team feature implemented in the YEAY app gives select creators with verified accounts the power to recruit friends and followers onto their team — and increase everyone’s WOM Token earning potential. We have enhanced this feature by enabling team leaders to create exclusive video messages for their teams within the YEAY app to motivate, inspire, share tips and help improve content quality and output. We have also given team leaders the ability to promote team members’ videos to help increase exposure and earnings.
