Jalan Sukses: Blinked: Blockchain-based Recommendation Platform

THE BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

The decentralization and immutability of information may very well be the greatest asset of the blockchain in an evolving world. Outside of the control of a central regulator authority, information stored on the blockchain is often permanent, and remains free from some of the abuses which help to characterize information storage in the traditional paradigm.

Consequently, more and more organizations are making use of blockchain technology to create a variety of businesses in sectors that could use the kind of freedom offered by the blockchain’s public transaction and informational ledger.

Leveraging benefits of blockchain technology and providing direct connection between users and advertisers, Blinked is on the verge of revolutionizing the way we consume services by bringing customer experience to a new level due to a combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology, so users can monetize their own data.

THE BLINKED RECOMMENDATION PLATFORM

Blinked is an existing social media platform for recommendations that is building upon the innovations in blockchain technology by integrating a proprietary Blinked (BLKD) crypto-token that will enable users to get paid for their recommendations and for experiencing digital ads.

Blinked is run by a group of qualified individuals, which grants users up to 90 percent of advertising revenue. Members earn the 90 percent revenue by being an active recommender. Your rate of earning will be determined by how engaged you are, and members simply share their favorite things, places, services and anything else that fascinates them. For rewards, members exchange their earnings in the blinked arc ode. In return, members exit with blinked (BLKD) token.

The Blinked (BLKD) token will hold utility for both users and advertisers, as users will be compensated for their: recommendations, administrative roles, and engagement with ads. It will also allow advertisers to drive much more effective and rewarding ad campaigns utilizing the full transparency of the blockchain.

THE BLINKED: PROBLEM TO SOLVE

Blinked sets to target following issues of social media users:

Users contribute valuable content to social media platforms everyday without getting paid. Users on most platforms aren’t compensated for their genuine contributions.
Users who make their platforms successful, where social media platforms earn billions of dollars in advertising revenue based on monthly active users (muvs), are not compensated or incentivized for viewing ads or watching commercials.
Users are losing trust in centralized social media platforms due to data breach issues.
Advertisers must rely on social media platforms themselves and use pricey third-party platforms for analytics.
There are no trusted, pure social media recommendation platforms. The current review market is highly flawed. Companies such as yelp ($4 billion valuation) focus solely on reviews (not recommendations) from unverified users.
Platforms that enable you to recommend anything are non-existent.

Blinked recommendation platform provides solutions to tackle the problems:

Users on blinked earn Blinked Gold [BLGD] for their contributions and recommendations. The more engagement a recommendation has with other users on the platform (likes, comments, etc.), the more a user may earn Blinked Gold [BLGD].
Blinked is a social media platform for recommendations where users share in up to 90 percent of advertising revenue.
Blinked integrity is secured by the blockchain. Blockchain technology ensures system-wide integrity that centralized social media platforms currently lack.
Advertisers have full transparency on effectiveness of their ads on blinked with blockchain. Using blockchain, advertisers can reach blinked users directly, tracking each and every user who has viewed an ad without any expensive and complicated third-party systems.
Blinked is a true recommendation platform. With blockchain technology, not only can you find recommendations from verified users, but there’s full transparency that those users are who they say they are.
The recommendation opportunities on the blinked platform are endless. Blinked allows users to swiftly recommend an infinite number of items in dozens of categories including, but not limited, to food, dining, travel, entertainment, television, fashion, beauty and more.

THE BLINKED [BLKD] TOKEN

Blinked is executing a token issuance and utility token sale under the name Blinked Token (BLKD). Blinked token is for use on the Blinked platform, engineered to serve as the advertising and reward product itself. An advertiser, business or user purchases Blinked token, exchanges it for the performance token, Blinked Gold (BLGD), and uses it to either earn within the platform or offers it to the end-user for engagement with digital advertising content. There is no other purpose of use of the Blinked token.

The Blinked (BLKD) token is a utility token, whose value comes from its use within the Blinked network. Blinked (BLKD) token holders include users, advertisers, brands, businesses, and a local decentralized sales team, as well as the independently operated stabilization fund.
