Marbel is a web3 native communication platform. We built Marbel as a better way to foster collaboration between DAO members while allowing them to build their digital identity with their contributions.

The birth of the internet brought with it a new way for content creators to measure their impact on audiences. With search engines upon which anyone can post articles and other media, there is an exact metric for how many people have viewed each piece of content. This system has its pros and cons, but one of the biggest drawbacks is that it incentivizes clickbait titles.

Investors can now borrow against their crypto collateral, invest in crypto communities with social tokens or buy digital art.
