Title: [ANN] Ara - Global Decentralized Content Marketplace Post by: reveller on December 05, 2018, 07:30:43 PM https://i.imgur.com/8PSeTJi.png Update 2/1/2021 ARA is now on Uniswap (https://info.uniswap.org/token/0xa92e7c82b11d10716ab534051b271d2f6aef7df5) Introducing Ara - Global Decentralized Content Marketplace Today’s media landscape is centralized and controlled by a few large corporations who have clearly shown to be irresponsible with our data, our content, and most importantly our trust. They can censor us, they can revoke access to content we’ve paid for, they lock up things we own in their service, they don’t pay creators appropriately, and they control the message to billions of people. Our personal information is abused, and we've lost control. Overview The Ara Network, which started quietly building in 2017, addresses these issues and more. Once you buy content, it’s yours, and nobody can take that away from you. That purchase is stored on the ledger and not owned by any one company, and your personal data isn't tracked by a central authority. The content is delivered by our P2P protocol, and the peers hosting the content are rewarded in ARA tokens. Anyone can be a peer and take part in the rewards, from a computer with extra storage at home, all the way up to a data center. Our rewards are based on content storage and delivery of content. 90% of the purchase price goes to the creator, 10% of the purchase price is split up among the peers hosting and delivering the content. You purchase and publish content using the ARA tokens, with support coming for more currencies next year. Details Ara supports any content type for publishing and consumption. Games, movies, music, software, photos, etc., and you don’t have to give up existing apps. You can import purchased content into Spotify, iTunes, Steam, and more, and companies like those can incorporate Ara in the future to make content discoverable directly. Ara leverages distributed IDs to keep your data safe, and that identity makes it easy for you to take your library of content on the go. Aggregators can also use Ara for its content, much like Binance is a market for cryptocurrencies. Ara is not a dapp, it’s a platform. Ara is not an Ethereum killer, it’s a new suite of protocols optimized for content delivery, publishing, and rewards. Ara does not use BitTorrent or IPFS, it is a new protocol called AFS, and tier one technology. Ara is launching the initial contract layer on Ethereum, but is blockchain agnostic, with plans for our own media specific blockchain that is optimized specifically for content, storage, payments, and delivery. We are already on testnet with mainnet possible before EOY 2018. Background The Ara team includes ex-Spotify, Amazon, Twitter, LimeWire, x.ai, Betaworks, Harvard. We are based in New York City. Come say hi. We’ve built our collective decades of experience and careers on content delivery and consumer apps for music, gaming, VR, movies, and TV, and have been using, mining, and playing with Bitcoin since 2012. This is a community effort! Please connect with us to discuss testing on testnet, purchasing tokens, contributing to the project, and more.
