Abstract

According to an embodiment, a method for automatically providing a cryptocurrency to a recommender using social networking service (SNS) propagation comprises a recommending step in which a blockchain membership node of a member having membership in a proof-of-expansion (PoX) blockchain platform server recommends an identity (ID) of an SNS friend of the member to the PoX blockchain platform server, a registering step in which the PoX blockchain platform server newly registers the ID of the SNS friend as a blockchain membership node, and a reward rate determining step in which the PoX blockchain platform server determines a reward rate for each blockchain member in association with the number of SNS friend IDs that the blockchain member recommends.

Claims (9)

1 . A method for automatically providing a cryptocurrency to a recommender using social networking service (SNS) propagation, the method comprising:

a recommending step in which a blockchain membership node of a member having membership in a proof-of-expansion (PoX) blockchain platform server recommends an identity (ID) of an SNS friend of the member to the PoX blockchain platform server;

a registering step in which the PoX blockchain platform server newly registers the ID of the SNS friend as a blockchain membership node; and

a reward rate determining step in which the PoX blockchain platform server determines a reward rate for each blockchain member in association with the number of SNS friend IDs that the blockchain member recommends.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising a rewarding step in which the PoX blockchain platform server rewards each blockchain member with a cryptocurrency as per the determined reward rate.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the reward rate determining step comprises a step for determining a membership grade of the recommendinmg blockchain member depending on the number of SNS friend IDs that the blockchain member node recommends and a step for determining the reward rate for the blockchain member depending on the determined membership grade.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein as the number of the SNS friend IDs that the blockchain member node recommends increases, the membership grade of the recommending blockchain member increases.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein when a first SNS friend recommended by the blockchain membership node recommends a second SNS friend, a weight is given to the membership grade of the blockchain member.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising a transaction processing step in which when a cryptocurrency transaction occurs between blockchain members recommended, the PoX blockchain platform server creates a transaction processing request transaction in a blockchain network processing server.
