Currently the traditional centralized data brokerage industry functions with grey operational processes. None knows what kind of data is stored, how the data is stored or how they monetize the data. Often the data is collected unlawfully and stored in outdated technical infrastructure that is prone to hacking. In 2018, Equifax, a leading data brokerage firm, was hacked and 147.7 million American's personal information was stolen from its servers. Also the consumers, who create the data, receive nominal revenue from the data whereas the data brokers make billions of dollars.
Insights Network came with the mission to solve the problems of traditional data brokerage industry with its decentralized platform. It is connecting consumers with businesses for mutually beneficial data exchange by using digital currency and blockchain technology. Each Insights Network user is KYC approved and issued a committed value to the blockchain that allows participation in our network. Instar is the native token of the platform and migrated from ERC20 token to EOS mainnet and it is listed in coinmarketcap. Primarily, there are serving two types of users: those who request data (requesters) and those who provide it (providers). The app is revolutionary. More features are going to be added in 2020 which Instar Wallet users are likely to appreciate. With the increasing interest in blockchain & cryptocurrency, it is expected that interest in Instar Wallet will also grow rapidly. KYC is needed to use the app.
Privacy, security & transparency:
The platform stores data in its native blockchain. The user's personal data remains private. The requestor can access only the user data, which he/she has agreed to share for the survey through the smart contract. All surveys are recorded on the blockchain in encrypted form. As it is audit-able, it provides great transparency to the survey process and outcome.
