General Introduction about Soar - Will be project the first in the world to put mapping technology on the blockchain

1. About
   We're Creating the World's First Fully Democratised GLOBAL SUPER-MAP Using Drone Content.
   Some things look BETTER from ABOVE.

Soar is a decentralised platform for high-quality drone content that connects customers with content creators in a secure, trustless and distributed blockchain community

The Soar marketplace will allow:

• Buyers to easily locate and buy drone content already on Soar;
• Buyers to offer a SkyBounty on an area which rewards drone operators to upload content to match the SkyBounty needs; or
• Drone operators to upload content under a SkySponsor arrangement for sale in an open market environment.
  
  

We Utilise BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY to Unlock the Unrealised Value of Drone Content

Soar will use funds raised by the Token Generation Event for the Skymap token to develop the platform and bootstrap the community. It will also receive a transaction commission from each sale of data made through the Soar Platform. In the future this is expected to expand to include commissions on services that can be delivered through Soar and are paid for in SKYM.

We're Creating the World's First Fully Democratised SUPER-MAP Using Drone Content

The Soar platform is tapping into an emerging market opportunity to become the leading open marketplace for drone content including photo and video content. Currently, most drone operators only use a single channel to sell their content: on commission from a customer

The Soar Solution:
Soar is a decentralised global marketplace that will revolutionise the value, applications and significance of almost all drone content.
The Soar platform will unlock previously unreleased, unutilised and largely inaccessible commercial value of drone content, whereby a single data upload could represent an infinite number of commercial applications, facilitating an incredible monetisation opportunity for existing owners of drone content. This changes the current industry paradigm of a one-to-one transaction on a contracted or commissioned basis to a truly multilateral dimension.

The Soar Opportunity:

• The Soar platform is tapping into an emerging market opportunity to become the leading open marketplace for drone content including photo and video content. Currently, most drone operators only use a single channel to sell their content: on commission from a customer. Moreover, in many instances this content is limited to localised markets. This one-to-one approach to sourcing drone content limits the opportunity for drone operators to resell to other interested parties or organisations without it having to be re-flown.
• The Soar platform’s approach will allow drone operators to potentially grow drone content sale and monetisation to a global scale and unlock the potential value in underutilised drone footage. With its unique approach to validation of the drone content, buyers know exactly where and when drone content was collected and the blockchain technology ensures the integrity of this information is easily verified.
• The potential value creation of drone footage marketplace is challenged by the lack of standardisation of content formats and the significant file size of high quality drone footage. As Soar is compatible with a broad range of drone content file types, this removes the problem of content format standardisation and its cloud based storage approach removes the problem of localised storage and delivery and long download times.
• Moreover, much of the valuable geospatial knowledge held within drone imagery and data today remains unrecognised and unutilised for the vast majority of drone content creators. Hardware metadata and other geospatial data relating to the location coordinates of the imagery and the temporal components captured in existing drone imagery can potentially hold significant value for a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. For example, amateur drone footage taken of a beach on a family vacation could have significant commercial or research value for scientists looking to study coastal erosion, pollution or vegetation loss.

1. Token Structure
   The Skymap token (code: SKYM) is an ERC20 compatible cryptocurrency. SKYM is used to purchase content from the platform and remunerate the content creators and sponsors. It represents the value of drone content at a given place in the world.

• This token structure is subject to change prior to the pre-sale
