World's first distributed database and marketplace for safe trade and exchange of personal data.Today we are excited to announce the Datum Network, powering the new personal data information economy.
Datum is building the stock market for user & device data
Data is the new Oil and Datum is creating the first spot market for data by turning user and device generated data into tradeable assets. This entirely new market is estimated to grow to $120 Bln dollars and Datum is well positioned to take a significant market share given its first mover advantage.
DAT Tokens are the exclusive currency of this new market, and as it grows, so does the value of the DAT Tokens.
The DAT Token Sale will start on October 29 2017 13:00 GMT.
It will end on November 29 2017 13:00 GMT.
What is Datum?
Datum is a decentralized and distributed user data marketplace backed by a blockchain ledger. This technology allows to store and trade user generated data, such as social media data, internet activity data, health and wellness apps data, and also data from wearables, smart home, smart car and other IOT devices in a secure, private and anonymous manner. It lets individuals retake ownership of their personal information so they can sell it directly to businesses on their own terms.
Who is Datum for?
Datum is for End UsersDatum returns data ownership back to individuals and let's everyone control whom they share their data with and for what price
Datum is for Storage Node MinersMiners running Datum Storage Nodes are paid for storing and providing low latency access to data. All you need to mine is a free disk space and fast internet. No GPUs. No crazy electricity bills. Just DAT tokens coming in to your wallet.
Datum is for CompaniesDatum allows companies unprecedented access to users data, with users consent. Currently developers are restricted by what Facebook, Google etc offer through their APIs, and these APIs come with massive restrictions and limitations. With Datum companies can buy the user data they need directly from users. No middlemen needed. Simple and straightforward.
Datum is for EveryoneDatum provides a simple and easy to use mobile app backed by the Datum ecosystem, Datum marketplace and open API.
