Streamr: Edge-to-Anywhere P2P Data Streaming For DePINs
Streamr (DATA) is an open-source project and decentralized platform that prioritizes cryptography over trust, offering a P2P, real-time data infrastructure designed to power a new data economy. The platform features a scalable real-time messaging network (pub/sub) hosted on computers globally, a marketplace for trading and selling data, and a suite of tools for working with real-time data.
Launched through crowdfunding in 2017, Streamr's core mission is to build decentralized infrastructure for an unstoppable data economy, encapsulated in their vision of “Unstoppable Data for Unstoppable Apps.” By tokenizing the value of real-time information, Streamr makes this data accessible on its marketplace and data unions, catering to DApps, IoT devices, and more—positioning itself as a key protocol for the evolution of Web 3.0.
Streamr’s DATA coin aims to create a user-friendly and thriving information market, built on a data exchange network that’s both convenient and intuitive. The decentralized pub/sub network is maintained by nodes around the world, which earn DATA tokens in exchange for the bandwidth and validation services they provide.
