— Do you have MVP?

Dataeum’s Data Collection app is currently under development. It will be based on an already developed app, whose purpose was to test our product and to prove its scalability. The algorithm behind the collection process will be the base of the new architecture.

— Can I already use the mobile app and earn tokens?

Unfortunately not. The launch is scheduled for Q4 2018, and our team is working hard to deliver the product that you —and the rest of the world— truly deserve.

— How do you guarantee the security of identification?

Identification, smart contracts — basically, everything we’ve done has been audited by Blockpulse, a company with great reputation on the market (https://blockpulse.eu)

— How do I get XDT for data collection?

There are two possibilities:

If the collector doesn’t provide a wallet address to the app, the XDT tokens will be directly linked to his account’s unique ID.

If the collector has provided his wallet address, the tokens will be sent directly to this wallet.

— How can we be sure data can’t be manipulated?

The verification process is decentralized. Just as the blockchain makes data immutable, the verification can’t be manipulated.

Each collector receives a quality score to maintain a high level of reliability.

To prevent abusive or fraudulent behavior, the quality score will also be taken into consideration to determine which collector will carry out the action. Also, an incorrect collection can lead to a retroactive decrease of the collector’s quality score.

The quality score and the process of data verification/update guarantee the accuracy of the generated data.

— Do I get it right that there are 2 people involved in the data generation process? Who owns the data then?

Basically, yes.

The collectors who initiate the physical data collection will be offered a priority option to acquire its DOE (Data Ownership Exploitation). If they use it, once the physical data is validated, they will become DOE holders and beneficiaries of the revenues generated by the data exploitation.

On the other hand, if they do not use the option, the DOE will be proposed to the collectors that verified the data.

If none of the collectors use their option, the DOE will become accessible from the marketplace to any XDT token holders.

— And how can I benefit from this DOE?

As a DOE holder, you're guaranteed to get the remuneration based on the revenues that data generates. This guarantee is obviously coming from the blockchain. All the generated data when verified becomes available on a decentralized marketplace. From the marketplace, different types of market players, including Maps, Private companies, Urban planning companies and Local authorities will be able to rent this data if they pay the licensing price.

The data ownership exploitation (DOE) will enable you to be retributed on all the income generated by the exploitation (rental) of the data.

— What is the process to become a data collector?

It can’t be simpler. When our app is released, just download it and follow the instructions. It will then be your turn to play (and get rewarded in XDT tokens)!
