More information about STREAMR

Streamr looks forward to a data economy where humans, AI and other smart machines are all trading and sharing real-time data through a common protocol. Instead of our data being subject to the whims of unaccountable tech giants, it should be owned and monetised by its producers and travel through open-source, decentralized networks beyond the control of any single entity.

Streamr is being built by contributors on four continents. Crowdfunded with $30M in October 2017, it is an open-source project aimed primarily at developers, with the real-time data Network at its core, plus a Marketplace and Core application to make manipulating and monetising data possible with a few clicks. Functional versions of each component exist today, with full decentralization being the project’s goal over the next few years. The project was started by real-time data veterans with backgrounds in algorithmic trading and finance markets.

STREAMR NETWORK is a scalable real-time messaging system, which enables applications and devices such as IoT sensors or connected cars to publish and trade their data. Currently semi-decentralized, it will be fully decentralized in four stages.

STREAMR MARKETPLACE a platform created for anyone to buy and sell real-time data. This is the first application to be built on the Streamr Network, with third parties offering a range of products for sale, everything from cryptocurrency feeds to pollution data. Most excitingly, from November 2019, individuals will be able to form data unions in order to crowdsell their data through the project’s new Community Products tool.

STREAMR CORE gives you all the basic tools needed to integrate, process and visualise real-time data. Create a stream from your device, filter it with the drag and drop canvas tool, visualise it on a dashboard, or create a data product and sell it on the Marketplace.

THE DATA TOKEN is an ERC-20 standard token used across the Streamr platform. It is used for payments on the Marketplace, and will soon power the incentive mechanism on the Streamr Network. There is a total supply of nearly 1 billion DATA, and it trades on Binance, Bancor and many other exchanges.
