Why should I buy Pearl or PRL tokens? What kind of benefit does it provide for holding PRL token? It provides two significant benefits for website owners as well as users which are given below.
1. Robust File Storage – Despite the availability of many file storage websites online, there is always the risk of data theft and misuse. Also, the security of the documents solely depends on the company who provides this service. If the servers of this company are attacked by hackers or any kind of malware, there is a high probability of the corruption or loss of your data.
You might ask this question. How is Oyster storage different from others? See the unique features provided by Oyster storage below:
- Split storage: When a user uploads a file, it is not stored as a single entity. Instead, it is split into several parts and stored after encryption. If a user needs to access the file anytime, the unique encryption key is needed. Without that, it is not possible to access the file. This feature adds more security to the data and prevents from unauthorized access.
- Oyster Handle: When a user uploads a file, a unique file name of 80 characters in length called Oyster Handle is created. The first 8 characters of the handle represent the actual file name. The next set of 64 characters (combination of alphabets and numbers) called Primordial Hash is a random key generated by the user’s browser. The last set of 8 characters is called Cryptographic salt which adds the final layer of encryption to the data. Each Oyster handle is unique and there is no possibility of a duplicate handle.
The user needs to spend few PRL tokens for uploading files to the storage. After all, security and reliability cannot be offered for free.
2. Silent Traffic Revenue – Are you a website owner or Publisher? Then definitely, you should have a good knowledge about the Ad blockers or Pop Up Blockers. Because they are none other than your greatest arch-rivals. Right? Yes. These ad blocking programs are a hindrance to the website owners or publishers as they completely block the path to get revenue from advertisements. It is also affecting the advertisers as their product/service is not viewed by the visitors.
Can the publishers get rid of these Ad blockers? No. These software or add-ins are installed by the users. So the website owners or publishers cannot do anything about that. Is there any way to override this ad blocking software? Yes. Oyster protocol solves this issue by inserting a small piece of code in the source of the website which will help to generate a silent revenue by finding out the visitors using treasure hunting algorithms.
