Luis Fernando Molina, the chief executive and founder of Fermat.org, has released a whitepaper on the “Internet of People”. The concept offers an alternative way for content creators to stay in control of their work.
Fermat.org is a platform that enables decentralised applications. The latter connect users directly to each other without any need for an intermediary. Developers can be paid modularly for app components that they create.
Evolution from social to peer-to-peer
Operating in stealth mode for the last two years, the platform already has more than 60 full-time contributors collaborating from around the world on the system using similar technology to that of bitcoin transactions on the blockchain.
Molina says that Fermat will give users direct control of their personal digital footprint as well as more privacy and compares the project to the file sharing service BitTorrent because they both use a device-to-device-based network saying: “We will see an evolution from social to peer-to-peer”.
