Photochain is a blockchain based, peer-to-peer platform for stock photography. Using blockchain technology, Photochain returns the control over licensing, copyright, and trading back to photographers. Mediated by Smart Contracts, Photochain enables a fairer, more efficient, and secure transaction directly between artists and buyers.
Photochain is created around 4 key pillars:
P2P Marketplace
We want buyers and sellers determine their own terms of sale, so we allow them to trade directly with one another. Using blockchain to remove the need for costly processing, we guarantee photographers to receive 95% of the earnings from their works.
Easy Onboarding
A simple identity verification for all photographers. Unlike with traditional photostocks which require lots of prerequisites, a user can be actively selling work in minutes. The removal of prerequisites further allows the platform to be fully accessible and profitable to hobby, amateur and professional photographers alike.
Digital Copyright Chain
Our decentralized database ensures each uploaded photo is hashed into the blockchain and permanently linked to its owner. This link cannot be changed removed or manipulated in any way. Any further uploaded image is also hashed and compared to the existing DCC for copyright fraud. Additionally due to the permanent link, any misuse of the image outside of paid licenses is easily detectable.
Crypto Economy
We are helping to build a crypto economy, where we have more control over our data. A fairer economy where you are rewarded for your work. We believe photographers deserve fair compensation for their efforts and their creativity.
Photochain gives clear advantages over conventional photo stocks to both kinds of users: contributors and customers. Contributors at Photochain benefit from an extremely low fee - only 5% of the selling price. This opportunity to keep 95% of the final sale price allows contributors to offer their work cheaper, and consequently the market becomes more affordable for customers. This type of fair market not only benefits the users, but should benefit the photography industry as a whole, as the possibility of increased income incentivizes contributors to perform better.
These profound market changes are only made possible by using blockchain technology, Smart Contracts, machine learning and Photochain’s own user community. Most of the processes become automated and decentralized, significantly reducing costs of platform governance. It’s unavoidable that more and more stock photography contributors and customers will prefer to use Photochain.

Garantimos que 95% da receita de cada trabalho vendido seja do proprietário da obra. O fotógrafo faz todo o trabalho duro, então por que devemos ter a renda.
Nós pagaremos os vendedores do fotógrafo em no máximo 10 segundos. Isso se compara muito favoravelmente às plataformas de fotografias existentes que podem levar até um mês para processar os pagamentos. & Nbsp;
& nbsp; Um período de verificação de menos de 10 minutos. Além disso, sem os aborrecimentos e acordos legais que os atuais players do setor esperam de você, o que pode levar até duas semanas para ser verificado. & nbsp; Você pode definir seu próprio preço na plataforma para seus próprios trabalhos. Você sabe o valor do seu trabalho, por que você deveria deixar que mais alguém decidisse isso? & Nbsp; & nbsp; Proteção de direitos autorais através de nossa cadeia digital de direitos autorais. O Blockchain permite o rastreamento da propriedade digital para que todo uso não autorizado de suas fotos seja imediatamente detectado. & nbsp; Inovamos em cada etapa da cadeia de vendas stockphotography. As restrições impostas aos fotógrafos fazem com que muitos fotógrafos não as desejem. Criando uma plataforma justa e sem defeitos para a fotografia comercial, garantimos que os fotógrafos de todos os tipos (iniciante, amador, amador e profissional) possam obter uma renda justa por seus trabalhos. & nbsp;Para mais detalhes sobre nosso Business Case e a tecnologia por trás da nossa plataforma, leia nosso whitepaper .

Requisitos DApp do Photochain
Estes são os requisitos de projeto para o Photochain DApp. Os requisitos resultam de problemas atuais com fotografia microstock.
Photochain DApp Architeture
Os requisitos listados podem ser realizados tecnicamente através do DApp em uma base Blockchain. As execuções corretas das transações, bem como as regras da plataforma, são realizadas através do uso de Contratos Inteligentes. Os requisitos 4 e 5 serão realizados usando algoritmos de visão computacional e de aprendizado de máquina.
Aqui, contamos com o blockchain da Ethereum quando se trata da Photochain, pois estamos impressionados com a flexibilidade, a confiabilidade e o sucesso a longo prazo da plataforma. O suporte global da Ethereum pelo Ethereum Alliance < span style = "font-weight: 400;"> implica aceitação industrial ampla e interdisciplinar e oferece a prova necessária para a existência a longo prazo da plataforma.

PHOTOCHAIN
Photochain provides an opportunity for artists to come up with their own terms and sell their
photos straight to their customers. It is a decentralized system that uses Smart Contracts
centered on Ethereum block chain to ensure the security of exchanges on the platform. The
integration of block chain into the platform eliminates a centralized authority, an issue that
characterizes traditional stock photography platforms.
PROS
1. Artists are charged extremely low fees; a mere 5 % of the selling price. With 95% of the
amount, the artists are able to offer photos at a cheaper price to woo more customers.
2. When contributors lower prices due to low fees, customers benefit from affordable products.
They can get a lot of photos for an amount they would otherwise purchase just a few.
3. Increased income incentives motive more artists to venture into photography making the
entire industry vibrant.
4. Artists will strengthen their copyright using Photochain Digital Copyright Chain. All their
works are tired of their name and the same will be visible to all users assuring artist’s ownership
of the images.
5. Processes on the platform are reduced to a bare minimum so as to guarantee simplicity
and transparency to both the consumer and the contributor.
6. In addition to revenue for their photos, a contributor can get a commission by acting as a
moderator (and hence resolving an infringement claim on the platform).
7. The platform incorporates a reliable and high-tech system for blocking inappropriate and
pornographic content thus protecting consumers from offensive content.
8. Photochain Buyer Module utilizes Computer Vision Algorithm thus making images
searchable using a broad range of criteria. Buyers, therefore, have an easy time searching for
content.
CONS
1. The platform is only oriented towards photography. Contributors who create various
contents will have to use other platforms alongside Photochain.
2. It does not incorporate affiliate program that would otherwise market the platform a
larger number of users.
3. When five moderators vote in favor of an accuser of copyright infringement the plaintiff’s,
account is closed without an opportunity to appeal.
SUGGESTION
1. Introduce programs that will be used by other related platforms so as to reach out to
other users.
2. Diversify to other types of arts to allow multitalented artists to use the platform for all
their works.
3. For fairness, the platform should give persons accused of infringement claims an
opportunity to appeal the decision of moderators.
It's a compelling idea, and a good example of a viable blockchain usecase. Team looks well fleshed out, challenge will be to execute faster than others - as they will not be the only people trying to pull this off.
