In this modern world, organizations are becoming more reliant on the internet for interconnectivity, communication and productivity.
The Internet has since inception, functioned as an invaluable bridge between various sectors and continents. From business to social media to entertainment to gaming, even medical help, and recipes for your favourite dishes.
Sadly with so much adoption, many flaws have been discovered. A lot of networks can easily be hacked, many servers are slow and redundant, sensitive data has been compromised, and let's not forget interference/spying from central parties such as the government or big corporations.
This prompted the invention of the blockchain to decentralize the internet and give users more privacy over their data and finances.
The earlier versions of the blockchain such as Bitcoin and Ethereum were groundbreaking but as adoption increased their lack of scalability soon became obvious. Scalability refers to the ability to handle increasingly larger requests.
Bitcoin, for example, can only handle 7 transactions per second, Ethereum (15) and Ripple is currently at 1,500 per second. "Not bad" you might say till you discover Visa does 24,000 transactions per second.
The need for improvement is clear, and so once again a new generation of blockchain has risen.

Andrew is the CEO of company ABC. ABC is a sportswear company that encourages people to exercise and keep fit. ABC launches a campaign with a prize for those who take regular workouts and complete milestones.
ABC allowed users to upload their workouts on YouTube but as many people joined, some simply stole the videos of others and posted it as their own.
Andrew decides to integrate ProximaX into the company framework. Now users no longer need an unsecured platform to upload their workouts but can stream it live using ProximaX Multimedia and Streaming network.
The ProximaX storage layer takes a record of the metadata of the video and any attempt to duplicate or copy it by a 3rd party is easily flagged and disregarded.
ProximaX allows the fitness campaign to be successfully implemented.
