Contentos

The vision of Contentos is to build a "decentralized digital content community that allows content to be freely produced, distributed, rewarded, and traded, while protecting author rights". Contentos strives to incentivize content creation and global diversity and return the rights and value of content to users.

Contentos is aiming to change the digital content industry and restore fairness for content creators by basing its decentralized video and content platform on blockchain technology.

The development team wants to empower creators, and give everyone the means to record their lives digitally, maintaining complete ownership and control.

The Contentos platform is created to ensure an orderly environment for content producers that is both open and equitable and allows for the delivery, promotion, rights protections and transactions centered around global content production.

Contentos Ecosystem

The Contentos blockchain was specifically tailored to address the needs of the content industry, and it expects to be able to deliver transaction confirmations immediately and at zero cost through its Self-Adaptive Byzantine Fault Tolerant (saBFT) consensus mechanism.

This will make the content platform suitable for the high-frequency interactions common in a content-driven community, such as thumbs-up, commenting, and rewards.

Contentos is well on the way to realizing its vision, with the public testnet going live this past march 2019, and the mainnet expected to launch in September 2019. Real users are already being slowly transitioned to the network to verify the user carrying capacity and ecological reward mechanism of the network.

The Contentos platform has been built with three critical infrastructures based on the system requirements envisioned by the developers:

1. A decentralized digital content system for the distributed storage of content and to create a decentralized content agreement with creators. This will allow content creators to receive benefits directly from advertisers and viewers without needing to access the centralized platform channel.
2. Financial system to accommodate digital asset storage and transactions, and the creation of the encrypted tokens that will be used for all transactions in the platform such as purchases and gifting, advertising, inter-platform payments, and any other financial transactions. Furthermore, all transactions can be completed through the use of smart contracts which free users from the need for third-party intermediaries.
3. The creation of a social network that will link all of its users through the generation, delivery and dissemination of content, while also incentivizing creation through the use of a reward system. Also combine this with a credit rating system that makes each user accountable for their actions on the platform, thus creating order within the community.

The way the Contentos platform currently functions there are several roles users can adopt, which include content producers, content distributors, bookkeepers, technical developers and social operators. Users can fill more than one role on the platform, and enjoy equal rights for each role and with each node in the network.
