Mithril intends to combine the fame of social media with cryptocurrency and blockchain innovation, introducing Social Mining. Because of the extraordinary reward framework, there will be incentives for clients to join Mithril. If they acknowledge how the platform gives them a chance to interact, it will continue to become even as Social Mining Rewards diminish.

Pros

Enabling access to newer, youthful demographic for merchants Mithril uses the support from EOS blockchain to offer their users and gamers to have a faster transaction system without any transaction fee. The smart contract of EOS blockchain is tailor-made for solving issues with slower and expensive transaction system. This feature allows many gamers to pursue a successful gaming career through this blockchain platform. Every game has a certain expiration date of providing gamer satisfaction. Sooner or later, every gamer memorizes the probable moves of a certain game and continuous winning makes that game tedious. Mithril endeavors to preserve the gamer satisfaction by rewarding them handsomely on every level of the game.

Cons

I think perception plays a big role. There are fairly large and high traffic apps[1] built w/ Mithril, but when someone is taking a risk to learn a new thing (and there's a lot of that in js), of course something used by google or facebook feels "safer" to learn than something used by mashape, guild wars 2 or lichess. I've seen the "might no longer be supported later" fear being mentioned more than a few times, even though the reality is that it's not really a solo project anymore - it has almost a hundred contributors - and has a fairly sizeable ecosystem[2][3]. There are even Mithril jobs[4] out there. Another somewhat ironic issue is that Mithril's main appeal is its lack of ceremony. It doesn't ask you to drink the revolutionary koolaid of "bi-directional data binding" or "immutable unidirectional data flow" or whatever other fanciness you can explain to others to make yourself look good. It's just a tool to get stuff done. And even though that's an important metric, it's not exactly newsworthy.
