The dock.io protocol is a decentralized data exchange protocol for the professional industry. It aims to provide a solution for what they term “data hoarding” with current professional networks, which have no incentive, or disincentive to share their data with the competition.
They aim to do this by creating a data exchange that will:
Integrate user profile (work experience, education, location, contacts, qualifications, etc.) from different platforms, and
Incentivize data transactions/sharing, while providing user complete control over their own data.
Users:
They will be able to synchronize all of their employment history and data in one location. It will be updated automatically as the users update their information in other platforms, and they will be able to control which data moves between different platforms with opt-ins/outs.
Data Providers and Consumers:
Providers will be platforms and applications that send individual users data regarding any updates to their information on that respective platform, while consumers will be applications that must pay to access the data.
Furthermore, all data will be fully encrypted and stored using the blockchain, and can only be controlled by the user with the appropriate keys. The data can only be decrypted when willingly exchanged between parties.
Dock.io is a decentralized data exchange protocol that lets people connect their profiles, reputations and experiences across the web with privacy and security.
Data is the World’s Most Valuable Resource; User data is the core value of all consumer facing apps. Centralized platforms mine and productize data for their own agendas, leaving control in the hands of a few companies. The dock.io project believes in this value being shared between users and apps to create a more connected and decentralized internet.
THE TEAM
The DOCK.IO Team is made up of 12 members who has been working together on other businesses or platforms in the past with Nick Macario, as a Co-founder & CEO . Nicck has over 10 years’ experience in web and mobile marketing/applications with his most recent experience being the CEO of Remote.com (2.5 million professionals’ network).
They also have a suite of advisors include Lasse Clausen, who advised both FundRequest and Request Network, Christopher Heymann, who is the CTO of Daily Ride and advised Fund Request, and Lester Lim, founder of JV Connects, and advisor of SelfKey, Ink Protocol, and Coinfi).
THE OPPORTUNITY
DOCK tokens should have quick adoption from DOCK’s partnerships with Remote.com and other companies that have lots of users (tens of millions according to the company).
The project is backed by a strong team that has previous entrepreneurial success in relevant area (recruitment and outsourcing).
The Alpha is easy to set up, functions well, with a slick user interface.
There is a burning mechanism of tokens, so token supply will decrease over time. Negative inflation is good for token valuation.
The project has attracted various venture capital investors, meaning that it has passed the scrutiny of those institutional investors.
Currently the dock.io project has three established partnerships with: FundRequest, Remote.com and SmartRecruiters; All of which operate within the professional space with either linking professionals directly, linking employers to potential employees, or providing a decentralized way for professionals to work together.
TOKEN USE AND POTENTIAL(S)
DOCK tokens are going to be used primarily as the currency for data transactions or exchange. Token holders can also introduce new proposals and vote on the future development roadmap of the protocol.
Users will have control over which applications can access and update their data. DOCK tokens will not be used to incentivize users to share data with applications. Applications will indirectly pay other applications to access their data. If an application pays a flat rate fee to a user for their data and no third party application data is included, such fees (in DOCK tokens) will be burned.
As a result, the token’s value will be intrinsically linked to the demand for users’ information. Furthermore, this means that there is greater incentive for applications/platforms to use the dock.io platform for data acquisition the more users will join and actively use the app.
