Props is a defunct blockchain-based community loyalty and rewards network that was designed to distribute cryptocurrency to users, content creators, developers, and contributors across digital-media applications. Props's Twitter Score is 23 out of 1000 as of July 2026, ranking #48,635 (top 10%) among 531,432 tracked accounts.
Props was founded by YouNow, Inc. and built around the Props Token, an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. The SEC qualified YouNow's Regulation A offering for Props Token distributions in July 2019, making it one of the first consumer-facing token programs to receive that regulatory clearance. Apps participating in the Props network included YouNow, XSplit, Camfrog, Listia, and Paltalk.
Props raised token-sale financing led by Union Square Ventures and Borderless Capital, with additional backing from Venrock, Comcast Ventures, GSR, Lvna Capital, SPiCE VC, Zeev Ventures, and Dating.com Group. Alongside that financing, Props announced a plan to transition its PropsChain infrastructure to Algorand. Open Props Inc. previously served as issuer and network operator, while The Props Foundation Public Benefit Corporation previously served as network governor.
Props was wound down after Open Props announced in August 2021 that it was ending issuance of Props Tokens, citing operational restrictions tied to the token's status as a qualified security and the lack of a U.S. exchange able to list it. Paltalk ended its Props Token distribution on October 15, 2021, replacing the program with Paltalk Rewards Points. Props's account has published 692 posts and has 8,790 followers as of July 2026. Props has been mentioned by 84 accounts, with 277 total mentions.
