Referendum: Polls That Pay Tokens

Telegram is full of polls, but each lives inside its own chat, so there is no shared picture of opinion. Referendum tries to collect them into one platform. You vote on current topics, create your own questions and earn Votum tokens for it 🗳

One poll for everyone

The app brings together opinions from different Telegram communities. The goal, as the project puts it, is to show what people really think, beyond the limits of a single chat.

Inside, you can vote on popular topics, share polls with friends and groups, and launch your own questions. The interface is in English.

Who keeps it honest

The project claims two features. First, AI checks that a new question is original, so the feed does not fill up with duplicates. Second, results are recorded on a blockchain, which makes quiet tampering harder.

That does not make a poll scientific. The sample consists of people who came to vote on their own, and it may look nothing like society as a whole. The results suit a read on audience mood, not precise conclusions.

Votum tokens: where they come from

Rewards are given for two actions: when you vote, and when others vote in polls you created. The more interesting the question, the more participants it gathers.

• Voting earns tokens for taking part.
• Your own polls earn tokens for other people's votes.
• Sharing helps you gather an audience for your question.

What you can do with the tokens and what they are worth is up to the project and the market. Until a token trades, it is an internal score and not money 🪙

Writing a question that gets votes

Short questions with two to four options work best. Avoid wording that nudges people toward an answer, and stick to a single topic.

1. Phrase the question in one sentence.
2. Give options that do not overlap.
3. Share the poll in a chat where the topic matters to people.
4. Do not pay for votes: padding spoils the results.

Polls and the real picture

Online voting is easy to distort. One person can show up with several accounts, and an active group can drag a result toward its side. So read the numbers in an app like this with allowance for padding.

Look at the number of votes and where the audience came from. A poll with hundreds of votes from different communities says more than one with a dozen answers from the author's friends.

Safety points

Tokens and a blockchain mean the app may ask you to connect a wallet. Do that only through a link from the project's official channel and never enter a seed phrase.

Polls are public, so keep personal data out of them. Do not treat rewards as earnings: nothing is guaranteed, and tokens can lose value.
