Blockchain-Based Video Sharing Platform Flixxo Announces Partnership with Distributed Computing Network iEx.ec

Furthering their goal to provide a completely decentralized platform for uploading and sharing videos, Flixxo has announced that they have entered into a strategic partnership with iEx.ec, a decentralized network and marketplace for cloud computing.


Flixxo and iEx.ec – Taking Live Video Streaming and Content Distribution to the Next Level

The video content distribution market has already been divided among major players like YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon. Understandably, the centralization of such an enormous market worries many people. Not only does smack of monopolization, but storing all of that data is expensive. On its own, Netflix spends over $1 billion per year on data storage and those overhead costs get passed down to consumers. Finally, there are the perils of centralized censorship and revenue distribution.

Video streaming is a market that is crying out for blockchain initiatives, which can offer censorship-free content sharing, transparency of transactions, significantly lower data storage costs, and faster distribution.

Flixxo network

The Flixxo is a video sharing platform that enables users to upload videos, share them with the community, and get rewarded with Flixx tokens (FLX). It is based on a peer-to-peer (p2p) distributed content storage system from which the actual videos will be transferred via BitTorrent and stored locally on the viewers’ devices. Content providers earn tokens when someone watches their content and viewers can earn tokens by watching ads or by seeding content that they have already watched.

Before a piece of video content can be shared on the network, however, it needs to be converted into a variety of formats to allow users to choose the one that fits their bandwidth and quality requirements best. Since the task of encoding and decoding videos is very computing intensive, Flixxo has entered into a partnership with the iEx.ec distributed computing platform in order to delegate the resource-demanding job to iEx.ec’s decentralized network.

Speaking about the new partnership, iEx.ec Chief of Innovation and Adoption Jean-Charles Cabelguen stated:

Flixxo is the perfect example of dApps proposing needed services that will define new standards of the future of the digital. At iExec we are pleased to provide a platform allowing Flixxo to fulfill its mission.

The solution offered by iEx.ec is a distributed computing network based on the Proof-of-Contribution consensus protocol that allows the integration of off-chain computations with the blockchain, while also providing material incentives for the participants. For Flixxo it is the perfect opportunity to push the quality of its services higher without cost-inefficient centralized data centers.

Pablo Carbajo, CTO of Flixxo, explained:

The possibilities go further than that, as Flixxo nodes may even choose to participate in iExec’s network contributing their unused computing power. All this will be explored during the next months.

One of the features that Flixxo plans to introduce into its platform is live video streaming. To do this, a powerful cloud computing backbone is needed that would allow for real-time transcoding is critical. IEx.ec has the computational power that Flixxo needs to accomplish this task.

About IEx.ec

iEx.ec is the first blockchain-based distributed cloud computing platform. They provide blockchain-based distributed applications (dApps) a secure and scalable way to easily access the computing resources they need. The platform utilizes a market network where everyone can monetize their servers, applications, and data sets.

Earlier this year, iEx.ec had one of the fastest performing token sales of 2017, having reached their maximum cap of $12 million in less than three hours. For more information about the company and its platform, please visit https://iex.ec.

About Flixxo

Described as a “social economy based on decentralized video sharing”, Flixxo combines the best of blockchain technology and the BitTorrent communications protocol to create a unique peer-to-peer video sharing platform. Content producers can distribute and monetize their video content through the p2p network while users of the Flixx platform will be able to share their device resources to contribute to the platform’s decentralized video-serving network, all while earning Flixx coins.

Flixxo is currently in the final days of its token sale, which ends on November 23, 2017. Tokens can be purchased from the project’s official website and at ICOfunding.
