HUBII NETWORK - A Blockchain-based Decentralised Content Marketplace

Website  /  Whitepaper (EN) (RU)  /  Slack  /  Twitter  /  Blog  /  Telegram

ICO HAS NOW ENDED
We have surpassed our target with 22,261,248.561 HBT sold and 22,261.248 ETH raised!
THANK YOU TO ALL!

Zeppelin Solutions Hubii Smart Token Audit can be found here.


Hubii's mission is to create the new leading Ethereum-based decentralised content marketplace where creators and rightsholders can meet distribution networks and reach content buyers directly, all while having total confidence in maintaining the integrity of their rights through the use of smart contracts.

Making use of smart contracts will allow Hubii Network to fix fundamental points in the content industry and apply mechanisms never seen before in the market. All this will be delivered whilst having full transparency, accountability and security over the transactions using a new cryptocurrency, Hubiits (HBT).

The goal is for the entire Hubii Network to be open source and decentralised in nature.

Kickstarting and catalysing this marketplace is Hubii's existing distribution network reaching out to over 50 million people daily. Hubii also has latent agreements on distribution partnerships which can reach up to 800M users.


Key Platform Features

• Content agnostic; will support text, still images, audio and video.
• Backed by leading VCs and industry influencers from the news, music and video space.
• Two sided marketplace dynamics. Catalysed buyer-side liquidity in the new Hubii Network by injecting Hubii's existing content distribution network.
• Digital Rights Management (optional), content ingestion and distribution.
• Open Source platform, secured by Ethereum's protocol.
• Existing business with global partnerships reaching to 50M users daily.
• ERC20 Token, HBT, a token with multiple platform utilities.

HBT Token Utility

• Removing exchange rate risk; Market for hedging and providing futures contracts to provide stable currencies. Stakers will effectively be able to earn an interest rate for their liquidity provision.
• Verification of content rights in Hubii smart contracts; Incentivised verification of intellectual property rights by token holder staking their tokens.
• Transparency; The native currency creates ability to provide participants total transparency of content analytics.

Content Creators' Existing Pain Points and the Hubii Network Solutions

• Content creators often do not get sufficiently rewarded for their work. : Using smart contracts they can decide how much they want for their content.
• Once content is distributed and published creators often lose control over their work. : Hubii Network provides full accountability and control over the content's lifetime.
• Dealing with many distributors adds complexity to the content sale process. : Hubii Network is a one-stop shop to hundreds of distributors and millions of users.
• Creators have a lack of insight into the consumer's interactions with their content. : Consumer profiling and forecasting tools will be provided to content creators.

Hubii Network project member here,

Thanks for the kind proposals about translations and bounty campaigns. We haven't decided anything yet, but we will post here if we decide and there is interest in the community.

$5m minimum funds target is looking a little bit hard to mark this crowdsale as successful. But nothing about hard cap how much it will be to get finished after raised the amount there is no words about that in OP?

Thanks for the input, clixcoin. You are correct - this is an ambitious project. We intend to disrupt how content is traded and consumed proper, changing the market dynamics for ever. We’ve set a minimum of 5M USD in ETH in funding for being able to develop the network. That will let us develop some minimum viable products, but we will probably need to seek more conventional vc funding routes later in that case. The token sale and creation is a one time event. Our current roadmap in the whitepaper takes into account 40M USD raised through the token sale. That will let us really accelerate development properly and create further value for the network as quickly as possible.

[Hubii_Mark]

Further to Oyvind's point. We can confirm that we will be running a signature campaign bounty, Twitter campaign bounty and some translation bounties. We will get back to everyone here with the full details before close of play on Wednesday 26th July.

In the meantime, if you have any suggestions for other possible bounties that can add value whilst also being fun for you guys... then we are open to them, so please feel free to post those suggestions here for discussion  

Thanks guys

We at Hubii firmly believe we will disrupt the whole content industry on behalf of creators and users by building a totally new decentralised value chain with new incentives. But in order to fully kickstart this paradigm shift we first need help from you: the Bitcointalk community.

Please join us in spreading advent of shaping the whole content industry for the future by joining our campaign. You will be handsomely rewarded for your help.

Some time ago I went and told some of my friends who are also active as ICO investors who buy at least 500 ETH. I told them about Hubii Network and they responded well. If some people come to your Slack and ask about the Hubii Network project, please explain well because they are big investors.

[nezaigor]

An interesting idea. I'll follow the project until August 10 and maybe try myself as an investor. There is a desire. I think the project will be successful and will collect the right amount. Main advertising.
Try yourself on the Wings. They can give a good push forward.

I agree. The team already has a certain business and knowledge in this market. They decided to go into another business model. But the connections remained (after all, proxy services are provided for 50 million customers), the potential of the market is enormous if  create a decentralized platform for the entire chain from the content creator to the content consumer.
Collect 5 million dollars will not be difficult. But, of course, it is desirable to perform several iterations of 5 million as planned.

where is the spesification of this token?

where is the spesification of this token?

What specification? This is a token on Ethereum-based smart contract. The amount will depend on the amount received on ICO. Exchange rate HUB per 1 ETH = 1,000

Update:

Due to the uncertainty surrounding Bitcoin at this time, namely USAF, Bitcoin Cash and the current SegWit signalling period which is due to end at around the time of our sale, we have taken the decision to delay our token sale by one week. The new time and date will be approximately 16:00 (CET) 17th August 2017. Note, the exact blocknumber will be revealed when the contract is deployed to the network.
