Reddit is "sunsetting" community points, we've been working on a fully P2P Reddit alternative that uses Ethereum for community names and usernames for 2 years.

We have 4 demos:

• (new reddit UI)
• (image board UI)
• (minimalist, less bloated UI)
• (old reddit UI, in development, most buttons dont work)

We've received a $5,000 grant from Protocol Labs. We also received over $15,000 in several gitcoin grants in the last 2 years.

Our protocol is pure P2P, it doesn't use any central server, databases, public HTTP end point, DNS, etc. It uses parts of the IPFS and Ethereum stack to create everything it needs:

• IPFS for immutable data, like a published comment or a recent subplebbit page.
• IPNS for mutable data, like replies to a comment, upvote counts, new posts/comments published on a subplebbit, etc.
• Libp2p Gossipsub (also used by ETH2) for authors publishing comments/votes to a subplebbit and for the captcha challenge exchange between authors and subplebbits.
• ENS for usernames, community names, and serving the client in browsers.

We have a high level whitepaper on our github
