Streamr in use
Case Study — Tracey
A partnership between The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines, UnionBank and Streamr's consultancy partner TX is working on Tracey, an app for fishermen that will use blockchain for documenting and verifying catch and traceability data. The provided data can then be used by financial institutions such as UnionBank to conduct credit assessments to be able to provide micro loans to the fishermen.
Case Study — Swash
A browser extension called Swash has become the world's first digital Data Union. Introduced at Mozfest in London in October 2019, Swash allows users to capture their browsing data, and then sell it in real-time via a Data Union on the data Marketplace, with one‑to‑many micropayments enabled by Streamr's Monoplasma technology.
Case Study — Machine Witness
As part of the The Trusted IoT Alliance (TIoTA)’s Smart E-Mobility Challenge, Streamr partnered with Bosch Software Innovations and Riddle & Code, on a pilot project that gathered a range of electric vehicle data and shared it openly in real-time. The project was awarded a Silver medal at the TioTA awards.
The DATA Token
The DATA token is an ERC-20 token used across the Streamr platform. It is used for payments on the Marketplace, and it will power the incentive mechanism on the Streamr Network from the Tatum milestone. There is a total supply of around 1 billion DATA, and it is trading on many major exchanges.
