Streamr Network (DATA)
A Data Platform For Applications.- Streamr’s mission is to build a decentralized infrastructure for real-time data, replacing centralized message brokers with a global peer-to-peer network. The project aims to allow users "to publish and subscribe to cryptographically-secured data streams, trade real-time data on the marketplace or use Core, the real-time data toolkit".
- The Streamr Network is a decentralized network aimed to gather and publish low-latency real-time data streams from IoT sensors, machines, and other smart devices. The Network is a layer zero protocol that powers truly decentralized Web3 projects. The P2P Network’s real-time data functionality is chain agnostic and can be used by any Web 3 project as a decentralized pub/sub alternative.
- The Network is run as a topic-based publish-subscribe system where each stream or pub-sub topic has its own peer-to-peer overlay network that is built and maintained by a set of BitTorrent-like trackers.
- The Data Union framework is a data crowdsourcing/crowdselling solution. Working in tandem with the Streamr Network, Ethereum and xDai, the framework powers apps that enable people to earn by sharing their valuable data.
- The DATA token is an ERC-20 token used across the Streamr platform. It is used for payments on the Data Marketplace, and the incentive mechanism on the Streamr Network.
