Carry Protocol (CRE)
Empowering Everyday Consumers With Control Over Their Own Data.- The Carry Protocol (CRE) is a data management platform that empowers users by giving them control over their consumption-related data.
- Over time, Carry will build anonymized offline profiles of consumers based on their spending habits while consumers can opt-in to trade anonymized data for CRE tokens.
- The CRE utility token is an ERC-20 token that runs on the Ethereum blockchain.
- CRE is used by three parties: (1) Consumers may use it as a currency within the Carry ecosystem, while (2) merchants use it to create branded tokens. (3) Third-party advertisers, lastly, pay consumers in CRE for accessing the consumers’ transaction data blockchains.
1. What is Carry Protocol (CRE)?
The Carry Protocol is a sustainable purchase data platform built on the Ethereum blockchain. Consumers are rewarded with CRE tokens whenever they share purchase data and receive ads, thereby enabling users to have full control over their data and its monetization.
The CRE token is the ERC-20 utility token for the Carry Protocol. Consumers can use it as currency to pay merchants within the Carry ecosystem, and can earn CRE tokens for sharing purchase data and for receiving targeted ads. When consumers pay for products in offline stores, they can use Carry-integrated apps to share purchase data to receive CRE tokens. Over time, Carry will build anonymized offline profiles of consumers based on their spending habits.
Merchants can also use CRE tokens to create branded tokens or smart contracts and to pay for sending targeted ads to consumers based on the anonymized offline profiles customers create.
