The Lina.Review platform’s uniqueness is based on its categorization of reviewers to ensure that their judgments are as it should be, irrespective of incentives that merchants may want to use to influence objectivity in the review of products and services.

Current review systems are not trustworthy because the views of some reviews are influenced by the companies that own the products or services under review. This is possible because these review platforms are centralized and accessible to these companies.
Existing systems are not easily monetized, so the reviewers seek other sources of revenue instead of focusing on unbiased reviews. These platforms are usually product specific, service specific or niche specific and doesn’t encompass a wide range of industries as mega review centers.
Even when the platforms generate revenue, this is not accessible to all users and there is no defined, transparent revenue sharing formula.
Solutions Provided By Lina
Lina utilizes the blockchain to ensure transparency in the review system. For instance, revenue generated is made available on the blockchain an easily viewed by users of the platform. The Lina token is the internal currency of the Lina ecosystem thereby making monetization and revenue sharing easy.
There are unlimited types of products and services that are reviewed on a decentralized platform that cannot be faked.
The Lina review system enables review companies to build decentralized review systems on it.
Lina has created a grading and scoring review system that all parties can rely on knowing its integrity. The platform is building a one-stop solution to reviews of products and services irrespective of geographical location of the business, product or service.
It consists of a community of specialized (product or service specific) and generalized reviewers and experts whose incentive is derivable from a share of the platform’s advertisement revenue. They are therefore incentivized to give accurate reviews of products and services. Furthermore, it is a decentralized assessment system making it difficult to fake the input of the “Helpers”.
Partnerships
Although the Lina platform is open to all, there are categories of users. Merchants are the owners of the businesses, products and services that want them to be reviewed. The trustworthiness of the Lina platform stems from the fact that reviews emanating from it are authentic.
Advertisers are the entities that promote their businesses on the Lina platform. The revenue generated from these partners is the incentive that drives the review community.
Helpers are expert reviewers who devote time in publishing high numbers of reviews of products and services on the Lina platform. They are rewarded by sharing from the platform’s revenue. These submit certain number of high quality reviews within a specified period of time.
Common Users are the one off or occasional users who may send in review and opinions they have about a product or service they have used. These do not share from the platform’s revenue.
