Blockchain platform DECENT introduces first application for sharing digital content ‘PUBLIQ’

[The article has been edited to mention that PUBLIQ is currently under development]

On the heels of its official launch last month, blockchain-based digital content distribution platform DECENT on Monday introduced the first, 3rd party application built on top of its network, PUBLIQ.

PUBLIQ is currently being developed by an independent development team. It is a nonprofit foundation that places authors at the center of the publishing and digital media industry by offering them an efficient and reliable ecosystem to interact and thrive in. It is a free of charge application, built on top of DECENT Network, for sharing digital content.

“We are thrilled to see DECENT Network being adopted and used by innovative companies so quickly after our official launch. PUBLIQ is a perfect example of a well-designed project using our technology for the purpose in which it is intended, to bring content to the consumer without middleman controls or third party censorship.” said Matej Michalko, founder and CEO DECENT.

According to the official announcement, the rewards distributed in PUBLIQ are based on the reputation of the authors. They will be assigned on a daily basis to authors depending on their “PUBLIQ Score” – a reputation-scoring system based entirely on readers’ views and feedback. This unique evaluation system will allow authors to be more fairly rewarded, as well as appreciated for their good work. In addition, the instant rewarding process will incentivize authors to share their talents.

Advertisers would get an intermediary-free experience as they are granted direct and frictionless access to place their ads into the PUBLIC ecosystem.

Furthermore, the content posted on PUBLIQ is free for any channel to broadcast. Channels or other parties are unable to censor the articles. Branding features (such as topics, dates, number of likes and other parameters) are available to facilitate content selection. Channels get the chance to be rewarded depending on the traffic they generate from the PUBLIQ content.

“The cooperation between DECENT and PUBLIQ happened naturally. Myself and Matej Michalko started to discuss the idea of creating a blockchain based ecosystem for online publishing, including a layer of fair reputation and reward management. We decided at PUBLIQ to utilize the solid Peer to Peer data distribution protocol built by DECENT to incentivize seeders to participate in sustaining the ecosystem. We are both working on reshaping the media industry, so it really makes sense for us to collaborate!” Alexandre TABBAKH CEO, PUBLIQ Foundation, said.
