DAT Now Available on Airswap

Zug, Switzerland (June 22, 2018) — Datum, a decentralized data storage network and marketplace, today announced the launch of its token (DAT) on AirSwap, a token trading environment powered by blockchain. DAT, an ERC20 token officially launched in October 2017, facilitates data transactions on the Datum network. AirSwap is a decentralized marketplace for Ethereum tokens. Its peer-to-peer technology enables instant access to the DAT token, essentially eliminating middleman.

Decentralization is at the core of Datum’s ethos. The Datum network allows anyone to store structured data securely on a smart contract on the blockchain. With 2.5 quintillion bytes of data created every day, data is our most important global resource. Primarily, it’s owned and stored by large private organizations in huge data silos, where personal data can be illegally sold, altered, or exploited. Aiming to revolutionize the existing data market, Datum is building a future where individuals, not middlemen, retain profit and control of their data. As a peer-to-peer marketplace, AirSwap supports Datum’s vision of a fast, decentralized data store.

“AirSwap is the simplest and most secure alternative to a centralized token exchange,” said Roger Haenni, the CEO of Datum. “Our mission is to empower users to retake control of their data. Thanks to AirSwap, we’re able to give users instant access to DAT using a transparent, secure token exchange. Enabling direct, immediate exchange of DAT is an important milestone in expanding the Datum ecosystem.”

Just as Datum reinvents the traditional data exchange economy by allowing data owners to share and sell their data to researchers, companies, or individuals, AirSwap’s peer-to-peer methodology offers a new alternative in token swapping by enabling individual parties to exchange with each other directly. Trades are made wallet-to-wallet, meaning users eliminate trading fees and maintain custody of their assets. Liquidity is backed by a network of users — as opposed to centralized trading, where orders are transmitted on a public exchange, with no guarantee to fill.

Datum is building a new data economy.
