If you are familiar with cryptocurrencies, then there’s a good chance that you have heard of Voice.com. For those who are only familiar with Bitcoin, a social media platform based on blockchain technology might be difficult to grasp. To understand the paradigm shift presently occurring on our Internet, one must go beyond Bitcoin.
Blockchains were designed to be trusted, safe and decentralized. This remains the case with many of the top projects. The most successful often introduce new applications that build off of what Bitcoin started. The most glaring example is how Ethereum facilitates programming on blockchain. Known as smart contracts, Ethereum ushered in the short-lived age of new projects being funded through ICOs.
EOS was built as a developer-centric blockchain. Its aim is to make new blockchains easy to build. Block.one was the main investor and remains a strong advocate of EOS. Now it will be launching its own highly anticipated blockchain known as Voice.com. EOS and Voice may one day run together. As for today, those who signed up to beta test Voice will begin getting their invites.
The release of Voice was covered in an article by Cryptonews. It discusses the secure roll out of Voice beta. The project is about both social media and personalizing digital identity. In a world where social media giants and other corporations monopolize information that belongs to others, Voice is seen as a solution for individuals to manage their own data.
It will not be easy for individuals to take control of their digitized identities. The team at Block.one believe they have it figured out. Well, the main stuff anyway. Voice tokens will initially be distributed in a testing phase and then reset at a later date. Beta testers are promised to be compensated in some way once the trial period is over.
If you are wondering how this will apply to those who are not invested in crypto, merely consider the current online information dynamic. Unless one is vastly tech savvy, the best that can possibly be hoped for is to find a trusted service to manage one’s digital identity. Voice will go beyond trust and provide users with their own keys.
As for the massive marketing economy, interested parties will be required to purchase Voice tokens to reach audiences. And best of all, these tokens will need to be purchased directly from the consumer.
