Monetising Your Data with Datareum Decentralised Data Marketplace: Introducing Datareum ICO
Bitcoinist | Apr 04, 2018 | 17:00
Introducing Datareum, the decentralized data market, where users take ownership of and monetize their data. The Datareum token pre-sale begins April 28th, 2018.
April 3rd, 2018, London, UK – In the information age, data is one of the most valuable resources on the planet; personal user data is being sold in enormous volumes for enormous profits and often, without the consumer’s consent or knowledge. It’s an invasive and archaic and invasive practice – the data brokering industry leverages consumer data as an economic asset. Our behaviors, interests, preferences, age, location, and gender are being monetized with absolutely no return for the consumer.
Big Money
At present, large international organizations and companies are benefiting from the $200 Billion worth of sophisticated data sets available; the industry is dominated by huge companies like Equifax who own the data sets of 800 Million individuals worldwide, those data sets brought in $3.16 Billion for Equifax in 2016 alone.
Other larger companies such as Facebook and Google make billions more from the complex data sets gathered from our online habits; most of this data is walled off and sealed away, out of the reach of individuals and researchers who could benefit significantly from the data beyond that of just monetary value. Datareum is positioning itself to be a disruptive force in this once sided market and is bringing power to consumers through a decentralized data marketplace.
Datareum is creating an opportunity for society to take control of their data and sell it or give it way; through a fair and transparent data marketplace, data providers are incentivized to produce and provide high-quality data. Data purchasers on the other hand now have access to data, for lower costs thanks to complete elimination of intermediaries.
Key Components of Datareum
The Datareum platform is made up of a few key components: for starters, Requesters are those who request of purchase data, and they may commission a survey directly or purchase survey results that have already been resold on the data marketplace. Providers are those who give away data for free or sell it, though they may previously be requesters who are providing data through resale.
The Data Marketplace is where smart contracts determine the legitimacy of data entered on to the platform, and it also confirms whether or not the data is delivered of rejected and if so it completes the exchange or payment between the two parties. The DataVault is a secure location in which data providers can enter all their basic information and therefore can be monetized according to the user’s preference.
