Photochain, found online at Photochain.io, uses blockchain technology “to reinvent photostocks around the buyers and the sellers,” explains the official website.
The goal is to pay photographers more for their work than they currently earn on centralized stock photography platforms. The Photochain website claims that many popular stock photography platforms pay photographers just 23% of the final price for their work. In comparison, Photochain wants to pay photographers 95%.
Photochain also emphasizes a fast verification period and fast payment times. Plus, photographers will be able to set their own prices.
Photochain is being developed by an Estonia-based team. The token sale for the platform’s PHOTON tokens, or PHTs, will be held in April 2018.
How Does Photochain Work?
Photochain is built as a native blockchain decentralized app (dApp) on the Ethereum network. The app uses InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) to secure data across the network.
The Photochain dApp emphasizes four core features and functions, including:
Security:
Photochain provides blockchain-based security for buyers and sellers so “you can trust your works are safe.”
Decentralized:
Digital content is encrypted and stored on the decentralized database. No central business controls your uploaded photography.
Copyright:
Your work is permanently linked to your identity through the blockchain, creating a new blockchain-based form of copyright protection.
Content:
The decentralized app can be used exclusively for trading photography. Photochain will sue bots “to ensure only acceptable content is listed.”
