Datum
Datum is a global data exchange company that aims at converting personal data into a tradable commodity. The project which is powered by Ethereum, bigchainDB, and IPFS is based in Switzerland, Hong Kong, the US, China, and Singapore.
Datum is a distributed high-performance NoSQL database backed by blockchain ledger. This particular technology allows users to securely store their personal data (data from a social network, electronic wearables, smart homes, and IOT devices) in an anonymous manner. On the Datum network, users are provided a marketplace where they can trade their data.
Recently, eyebrows were raised when the US government had a question and answer section with Co-founder and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, regarding what happens to its users’ data. It turns out that they sell this data to advertisers who pay them huge amounts of money. Since we have little or no knowledge of how or what our data is used for, Datum is here to put us back in control of our data through the blockchain.
#The Network:
Datum Network relies on DAT token for transaction throughout the entire network. To store data on the network, a small amount of DAT token has to be paid. Storage nodes miners receive DAT token for securing and trading data while buyers purchase DAT token to buy users data.
