The platform is developing a “new business model for publishers and content creators,” according to DASTAN Co-Founder and COO Ilan Hazan, who explained that MYRIAD “leverages direct-to-audience distribution through established content channels to maximize the engagement and transactional volume”.
MYRIAD also includes a Missions mechanic that rewards consumers for interacting with content, creating an attention economy that can be adapted to increase engagement metrics, whether it be time spent on videos and articles, shared on social networks. or complete questionnaires.
The result, according to Hazan, is an “interconnected media ecosystem” that benefits readers, creators and advertisers alike. “Users are rewarded, creators are fairly compensated, and advertisers achieve higher ROI,” he explained.

MYRIAD will launch in public beta during Art Basel Miami with a browser extension, mobile app and website that integrates the platform across the entire user browsing experience.
