❓Problem Statement

Inefficient Monetization Models

Existing monetization models for Telegram communities are often inadequate and unsustainable.

• Donations: Donations rely on the goodwill of members and are not a reliable source of income for creators.

• Advertisements: Advertisements can be intrusive and negatively impact the user experience, leading to member churn.

• Speculative Activities: Some communities resort to giveaways, raffles, or promoting memecoins to generate revenue. This model is unsustainable and can foster a culture of speculation rather than genuine community building.

Groop's paid-access model offers a more sustainable and direct way for creators to monetize their content and expertise, ensuring a steady stream of revenue while maintaining the integrity of the community experience.

Lack of Organic Growth Mechanisms

Traditional community growth strategies, such as manual outreach and cross-promotion, are time-consuming and often yield diminishing returns. Existing referral programs often lack robust incentivization mechanisms, failing to drive sustained organic growth.

Groop's dual-token referral system, inspired by successful crypto projects like PancakeSwap and 1inch, addresses this issue by rewarding members with both $TON and $GRP tokens for inviting new members. This creates a powerful network effect that incentivizes organic growth while ensuring that new members are genuinely interested in the community's content and values.

Central Control and Lack of Transparency

Many Telegram communities operate under centralized control, with a single administrator or a small group of moderators making all the decisions. This can lead to issues of transparency, censorship, and lack of community ownership.

Groop, being a decentralized platform, addresses this by introducing a community-driven governance model, where $GRP token holders can participate in decision-making processes, ensuring a more equitable and transparent system.
