Roadmap
Technical considerations
NKOR aims to provide complete content marketplace functionality with full decentralization. Content markets that are based on advanced analysis algorithms require functionalities such as content storage, content analytics algorithms, search, messaging, and user activity analytics. NKOR uses existing distributed protocols as the building blocks for the NKOR protocol for content distribution and analysis, which include:
- Smart contracts for managing content ownership, providing lottery for computing nodes and taking care of corresponding reputation.
- IPFS/Filecoin for content storage. Ideally – FileCoin will be used for content Storage, IPFS for related metadata, and Json schemes for algorithms and weights for neural networks. Filecoin provides a more secure and consistent way of content storage based on their Proof of Replication and Proof Of Spacetime consensus algorithms. IPFS is a decentralized file storage network, operating with no single points of failure, and no dependence on geographic or political territory. Each file on IPFS can be located using a canonical URL. FileCoin will be built on top of the IPFS code.
- Ethereum. When the Ethereum network is under low load, its block confirmation time of 20 seconds, which means a participant will wait an average of 10 seconds for each operation. Under a normal workload, transactions may be processed only after a block or two, resulting in a longer waiting period of around one minute. Such latency is not reasonable for UX and requires to facilitate the user experience in a way that will provide immediate feedback for actions while processing the blockchain operations in the background. Ethereum testnets, such as RAIDEN and CASPER, are expected to increase the capacity of the Ethereum network enabling significant reduction of block times and variance in block waits. EOS is another possibility considered to be used in order to improve the system’s reaction times.
- Whisper for real-time peer-to-peer messaging. NKOR will provide messaging as a part of it’s social network functionality. Whisper is a part of the Ethereum P2P protocol suite that allows messaging between users via the same network that the blockchain runs on. (Which basically means the messaging will also be developed in a decentralized way)
