Description of the IPSE platform
InterPlanetary Search Engine (IPFS) - a global file system protocol that can link file storage devices, hosted by operators, including users. It also allows contributors to receive and post a portion of the shared data content. IPFS is somewhat similar to Torrent. Verification of the sender's identity is not required here. Instead, it checks the contents of the hash, which will make the page run faster, more securely and more reliably.
Side chain role:
- provider operator for the application chain;
- settlements for chain transactions;
- contains the basic data of the application chain, such as authorizations, token ledger and customer account.
The IPSE extension layer consists of smart contracts, virtual machines and side chain technology. The IPSE side chain protocol allows assets to be transferred between the main chain and the side chain. There is no additional information, White Paper and Roadmap on the search engine site. There are links to telegram and twitter to make it easier for users to find out news about the project.
Differences between InterPlanetary Search Engine and other projects
IPFS can protect websites from DDoS attacks, using content signing and addressing technology. It can archive important content to prevent site disruption and allows users to access offline content. This frees web applications and websites from the original serve.
Main advantages:
| Firstly, safe data ownership | Users can own their data, using the storage, and set their privacy preferencesи. |
| Secondly, stimulation | Since a free search engine was chosen as the model, incentive sharing helps to create a more accurate distributed search engine rich in content. |
| Thirdly, search advertising platform | Advertisers can find generic customer preference data through a smart contract and pay them a reasonable compensation price through an open and transparent trading mechanism without intermediaries. |
Consumers can use their tokens to obtain copyrighted content through a token system, developed with the EOS payment system.
The POST token is an IPSE cryptocurrency with a total volume of 10 billion. Users use the POST token to promote content by placing an order through smart contracts. In addition, users can generate income by uploading resources to the IPFS network.
