Wemark isn’t the regular social media platform designed for digital contents. If you compare it to the similar service such as Instagram, then there are significant differences between the two. When we are talking about this platform, we are discussing a certain unique concept that Wemark implements. It comes with the newest and most advanced technologies. The idea is to create a platform where everyone can benefit from the overall operation, especially content creators and users.
Digital contents are increasing in popularity because of their appeal. Each subject has their own fan base – some people prefer the videos while some prefer the photos. Despite the increasing popularity of video contents, lots of people are still loyal to the photo contents. With the increased technology and better devices, the quality of photos is getting more and more artistic and beautiful. Moreover, there are also sites that are focusing on providing modern and high-quality photos, such as Getty Images or Shutterstock. However, there are also some common issues and challenges with this already existing service.
First of all, most of the photo creators (thus, naturally the owners) are bound with the centralized system. There are many distribution channels that are willing to provide a place for these owners to showcase their creativity, and yet it is the channels that will get the highest benefits. These channels get visitors and advertisers – and the money goes into the channels’ pockets. Second, most photo owners don’t have the freedom to move around or have a flexible operation. The channels have the power to change the rules, membership status, and such thing alike.
With Wemark, such a problem won’t happen. Photo owners have a full right to their contents and they can share it with anyone they want. Users who want to use the photos can submit payment to the owners and owners can share the right of ownership and usage to those users. It benefits both parties – the owners get the full reward for their hard work and the users have the rights to use the photos legally, worth of their spending.
Basically, this platform provides a spot for photographers so they can display their work. No need to worry about other people going to steal their contents because the security measurement won’t allow such a thing. If a user is interested in the photo and wants to use it, he needs to contact the photo owner and create a smart contract for the deal. In most cases, the smart contract will provide details about the agreement, including the share of photo license and rights.
The WMK token will be used as the main currency – functioning as the key that can open access to various features and services. In the simplest manner, users simply send their tokens to the owners’ wallet and then they can use the photos. Investors can also make use of the existing token for their ICO investment.
