Compared to similar projects, Verasity has more than a few distinguishing factors:
Videos on Verasity system are hosted on a high-performance CDN rather than using unproven decentralized video distribution technology. This ensures that right from the start, users will receive a consistently high-quality experience. Verasity’s video player technology has distributed over 8 Petabytes of data in a month and is already embedded on leading ICO rating sites such as ICO Bench.
Verasity doesn't force a one size fits all model so creators can choose how to monetize their videos e.g. Donations, pay per view, monthly subscriptions etc.
Viewers choose whether they want to watch advertising - if they do they get rewarded directly from advertisers.
Decentralized proprietary blockchain (Q3 2018) - Verasity’s high-performance proprietary blockchain will provide the throughput required to support microtransactions at scale, overcome congestion, and other issues such as users forcing hard forks.
Proof-of-View™ (Patent Pending) - Ensures accurate and secure audience metrics, allows for independent auditing, and tackles issues such as ad-fraud and fake/bot views.
Spark Marketplace - Think the next evolution of crowdfunding where users will be able to directly fund the growth of content as well as fund projects such as feature films and then receive an on-going share of the success in VERA.
Economic Model - Working with Dr. Christian Jaag (founder of the Centre for Cryptoeconomics), Verasity has commissioned one of the most extensive economic analyses ever undertaken on a crypto-economy. The model, which was created off the back of thousands of simulations and stress tests, is designed to create a stable economy with a 3% inflation rate. More information can be found at this link.
Token Compliance - Verasity is SICOP (Sustainable ICOs Protocol) compliant meaning that Verasity is committed to conducting a safe and secure ICO, maintaining good practice and ethics. Further information is available here.
