Antube is the first ecosystem application that DATA has incubated with GroundX, the official blockchain platform of Kakao (Korea’s largest social media company).
Founded in 2004, Kakao has grown rapidly since its inception and is now one of the largest Internet giants in Korea. Kakao’s revenue in 2017 reached a record 1.97 trillion won, up 35% year-on-year; operating profit was 165 billion won, up 42% year-on-year. Chinese Internet giant, Tencent, held 13.54% of the company’s shares. Kakao Talk, owned by Kakao, is Korea’s largest mobile social media platform. Based on a total population of approximately 50 million in Korea, Kakao Talk has achieved a monthly active number of 48 million users and a penetration rate of 95% among the Korean smartphone users. In March 2018, in the context of Korea’s vigorous development of the blockchain industry and high digital currency user penetration, Kakao announced the establishment of their official blockchain platform, GroundX. GroundX is committed to the exploration of new services based on blockchain and open up the blockchain platform for the public on top of Kakao’s existing services.

What is Antube?
Antube is a blockchain-based mobile video community that combines DATA’s wallet, SDK and M3 mobile decentralized distributed storage framework, allowing users to mine coins based on the effective attention spent on viewing mobile ads and videos. “Value your moments”, Antube will share the ecological value and profit through blockchain technology to the effective contributors in the ecosystem.
Different from the traditional short video platforms, Antube has the three following characteristics:
1. Reward-earning Based on Contributions
Antube uses Antube Token (ATT) to reward users for content-creating, browsing, sharing, commenting, etc. In addition, in all the commercial scenarios, users can also mine DATA’s mainnet token, DTA Coin, through contributing effective attention by viewing mobile ads.
Based on different contributions, device credit scores, etc., users will receive different types and amounts of rewards. With a variety of rewards, Antube strives for the users to gain value at every moment spent on the application. At the same time, Antube will increase the value of ATT and DTA Coin through the commercialization of the platform.
2. Video-sharing Community Autonomy
Antube will support users to share and collect all kinds of favorite videos from different platforms across the network. In the future, Antube plans to open a short-video uploading service based on DATA’s M3 decentralized mobile data storage system. While enjoying the fun of videos, Antube users also have the opportunity to make friends and socialize with the international users in the community. In terms of the review and distribution of video content, Antube will also try to decentralize it through dynamically selecting candidates from the community.
3. Data Privacy Owned by the Individual
By using the mobile decentralized distributed storage framework provided by DATA M3, Antube will completely decentralize the user’s personal data and the uploaded video data. Users will truly gain the ownership, use right, and the potential commercialization right of their personal data.
Even though we are developing Antube non-stop, bugs may still be inevitable, and the functionality of the product can always be further improved. We sincerely invite you to participate in the first Antube alpha test. If you have any constructive criticisms and suggestions, please feel free to contact us by email: hello@antube.io
※ Please indicate your Antube registered account in the email. We will send a considerable amount of Erc20 DTA to your account as a reward and gratis depending on the validity of your feedback!
