DATUM: FACILITATING BACKUP STRUCTURED DATA IN A SECURE, PRIVATE AND ANONYMOUS MANNER

OVERVIEW

The coming of technology gave rise to a lot of new devices and items that were designed to make our lives much more simpler. These technologies include our mobile phones, our smartwatches, our social network services and others. With our daily usage of this technology, a lot of data are being generated in the background and this could be in the form of personal and location data. This data, to a regular user, may seem very insignificant to them, but at a general level, it has a very great value.
The data being generated by these technologies are being taken by data brokers with or without the user's consent and they are being sold to companies that utilize this data for their own purposes. The profits made from the transaction are being held by the data brokers and the users don't end up having a share out of it.
Sometimes this user's data could be stored in a centralized database that could end up being stolen by a hacker or they can become tampered with as a result of cyber attacks and it invalidates them.
This now prompted the coming of a blockchain-based approach to tackle all the present problems regarding the data in the form of the Datum Platform.

HOW DOES THE DATUM PLATFORM TACKLE THE PRESENT ISSUES
The Datum Platform is a blockchain-based platform that was made to provide users with a control over their data and provide them with an arena to be able to sell their data directly to the data companies without the use of data brokers. The platform comes with a user-friendly interface in the form of a Web-based interface or a mobile application that will give users the chance to store their data in the blockchain decentralized network and give them a chance to access a virtual marketplace where they can sell this data to the companies.
The profits being made are in the form of a native cryptocurrency made specific to the platform and it's in the form of the DAT tokens.
