NEW YORK, May 27, 2018
/PRNewswire/ -- May 13, 2018, during a meetup hosted at Google
NYC, Primas discussed their vision to use Blockchain technology to
change the way people engage with online content. They proclaimed
this was their way of restoring health back to the Internet.
"The core of Primas", introduced by Gan Lu, co-founder of
Primas, "lies in a middle layer built between the Internet and
applications. We call it the DTCP or Decentralized Trusted Content
Protocol. This middle layer records the metadata of content onto
Blockchain, making it tamper-proof and traceable. Later, this
immutable metadata could be searched by Internet applications and
provided as evidence for a variety of use cases".
Gan Lu provided Vitalik's case as an example to show how
immutable metadata could be used against fake news. "If the DTCP
includes the author credit and posting time, when you see the
article, there would be an alert message showing that the author's
credibility could be in doubt due to the fact it was only the
author's third article without a sound reputation. Additionally the
photo used in this article would have been flagged for previously
being published over a year earlier and not matched with the
claimed time stamp. By providing this credit score and warning, it
allows the reader to first process the reliability of the news
before engaging in sharing, commenting or liking it.
The DTCP creates a credibility system for content and authors.
This, Primas believes is the key to solving the fake news
epidemic.
Provided as open Internet infrastructure, all Internet
applications could be built upon the DTCP, providing not only a
solution for fake news but as basis of how trust can be instilled
across many aspects and platforms across the internet.
Gan Lu introduced the Primas DApp (Decentralized App), which
stands against the click economy, identified as the main cause for
low-quality content economics that plagues the internet today. "The
only purpose of content is to gain as much traffic as possible.
Todays content model is based on high traffic sustainability to
provide revenue through side advertisements, as an author
this is their revenue model and the content is only a plug."
In the Primas DApp, authors will receive direct payment from the
system through a token incentivization model. The amount one can
earn depends on the evaluation of the content based on peer
engagement and author's credit. Users in return, receive high
quality content through peer and social recommendation. In
addition, content consumers will also be rewarded by spreading and
interacting with the premium quality content.
"It might be the first DApp that could be massively adopted by
millions on the Blockchain. There's always a tradeoff between
security and scalability. That's why Blockchain itself could never
be fast. We have built an acceleration layer upon Ethereum to
off-load unnecessary operations, letting Blockchain focus on only
the token and governance. The acceleration layer enables our system
to scale and support infinite number of users. The Primas DApp has
already been released on the iOS App
Store, search for "Primas" and try it for yourself".
In closing, Lu reiterated "When the DCTP records metadata for
one piece of content, a unique identifier called 'DNA' is
generated. It is our mission to generate DNA for every piece of
information on the Internet. It will be a brand-new way for
information to be identified and inter-linked together. With Primas
infrastructure, we can create a new Internet environment where
people can trust and freely share high-quality content with each
other, while taking responsibility to build a better Internet".
