The intricacies of the usage of consumer data by private internet companies have reached a paramount level, since the past few months. In October 2017, Facebook, Google and Twitter were addressed by the US Senate questioning the authenticity of their practices. In March this year, the CEOs of these companies were summoned for another hearing by the Congress. This time the hearing was related to disinformation on social networks, data privacy, and micro-targeting. Recently, the Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg provided a testimony about this same, earlier this month.

Atlas Protocol gives the user complete data ownership courtesy its decentralized system. Atlas Protocol is executed on the blockchain network and is developed to be completely transparent to advertisers, publishers and users. This comes in as a huge relief, contrary to the “black box” set up which is dominated by colossal digital giants.

The Tech Framework

Cheng Li, Chief of Tech, Atlas Protocol, reflects on the overview of the technical structure. Atlas Protocol will leverage on the NR (Nebulas Rank) algorithm. This algorithm measures the effect of contracts, addresses and decentralized applications (DApps) in the digital marketing ecosystem. Apart from that, Cheng also explains the dynamic mechanics of Atlas Protocol and how it circulates to exchange value between publishers, advertisers and users.
