DATA
Decentralized AI-powered Trust Alliance
DATA is a blockchain based digital data authentication protocol powered by AI & P2P mobile storage infrastructure.
Problems
Players in digital ecosystem do not trust each other.
1Limitation of Centralized Internet Advertising Bureau
The middle layer grows in size, creating loopholes for bad players that manipulate the system for the gain.
2Severe Ad Fraud
More than 40% of online ads traffic is bot traffic, which costs advertisers $16 billion annually.
3Monetization and User Experience Dilemma
Users rarely get rewarded from ads, which drives 600 million devices to use ad blocking, hence decrease efficiency of the ecosystem.
Solutions
Ad Flow
from advertisers/ad networks/DSPs to publishers/developers and then to end users.
Data Flow
from user device to P2P based mobile storage (M³). SDK protocol transforms individual devices into nodes of M³.
Token Flow
from DATA network to users, publishers/developers and DATA nodes. DATA network validates data and issues tokens to relevant contributors.
DATA System Flow
Technology
DATA technology stack is composed of four layers.
1P2P Mobile Storage Layer
is a P2P based decentralized Mobile Metadata Management (M³) system based on DHT and erase coding. Inspired by IPFS but designed specifically for mobile.
2Blockchain Layer
is the DATA chain, a standalone public chain built from a fork of Ethermint (the Ethereum implementation on Tendermint consensus engine) and incorporates proof of attention (PoA) mining rules.
3SDK Management Layer
models encoded user activity logs by non-cooperative game modeling and AI technology to generate smart contracts for device level reputation.
4Application Process Layer
consists of protocol and smart contracts to perform applications of the system, the most important of which is fraud detection.
