Reinventing The Internet - ONLINE.IO

INTRODUCTION

The buzz about cryptocurrency is increasing, people have heard about it, and more and more people want to find more about it, and find a way to be a part of it. When blockchain technology came, so many things changed, for better, we say. So many businesses have improved, so many companies have started using crypto currencies in their work. The new ideas are coming every day. People want to invest in the new projects. We have the biggest tool in the world, and it is called the Internet. The internet is a enormous base of information where we can do anything. Internet has connected the entire world. One of these projects is Online.io, a decentralized platform and is a system that will change users’ internet habits.

PREAMBLE

In the age of globalization and information, cybersecurity becomes, without a doubt, one of the major concerns all over the “Internet of Things” in the whole world. Main challenges here are related to browsing experience that provides opportunities for cyber crimes regarding intellectual property, personal identity verification, and personal data protection. The privacy is often violated through malicious software and sensitive information is collected without notifying consumers.

At the current stage of web technologies development, the Internet browsing is tightly related to tracking consumers behavior (including sensitive financial data) and it is difficult to eliminate this component without knowing the tracking techniques. The user's profile can even be sold to third parties thus raising privacy concerns. Another problem is ads which create irritating browsing experience and even scammy malware might be embedded.

Online.io has developed a good solution in terms of creating a global and decentralized ecosystem for safer, faster, and more private Internet browsing through the Online.io platform working on blockchain mechanisms. It must be emphasized that Online.io can be considered one of the earliest adopters of the “Internet of Values” thus attracting a lot of institutional investors who pour money in the form of ICO - a new way of fundraising through issuing the underlying crypto tokens of the project. Let us examine this undertaking in more details.

ABOUT ONLINE

Online.io is a decentralized platform and is a system that will change users’ internet habits. Online.io, which does not allow ads that permanently infringe on their privacy for people to collect data, malicious code, and malicious software placed on websites, will bring a new breath to the built-in sector. Nowadays websites are full of ads that try to sell you something they think you need by creating an unfriendly and irritating browsing experience. Also, lots of them have hidden malware, scammy ads or mining scripts.

Online.io platform aims at making a groundbreaking change of the Internet, by revolutionizing the browsing experience and making it faster, non-trackable, without malware and ad free.

Website operators gain a significant amount of revenues from ads, which can be changed by implementing our solution based on the highly scalable, transparent and fully accountable Blockchain technology, which will ensure they get fair remuneration based on the number of visitors, time spent on their pages and the interaction with the site, creating a more suitable environment for quality, as opposed to spammy cash driven webpages.

A new website rating system will be developed for the community and you as part of this community will decide on the quality of the websites you visit. This will lower the time and stress spent on click bait pages and you’ll have more time for valuable pages.

THE FEATURES OF ONLINE PLATFORM

Browser Extensions

There are extensions for different browsers for PCs, smartphones, and tablets such as Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Safari, which are embedded into the platform. Online.io will suit every user no matter what OS he uses.

Wallets

You can shop online with cryptocurrencies: it’s fast, safe, and anonymous. The mobile app of Online.io has an embedded wallet, while the desktop version has a calculation app compatible with Linux, Windows, and MacOS.

Mobile Application

The app works as a digital wallet, a blocker of ads, hacking scripts and phishing sites. All in one, just open the app!

Marketplace

A trading platform includes decades of authorized sites connected to the Online.io system: it guarantees safe shopping with protection against spam, stealing funds from users’ credit cards.

Merchants

The platform includes an open API, with the help of which creators of third-party sites can connect Online.io to their resources, accept payments in cryptocurrencies, and attract new clients through the platform.

No Ads

At this moment, the web users are paying to browse the internet, either through subscriptions or through less transparent fees, such as digital advertising. In our envisaged environment the web users will enjoy an ad free Internet, while the web operators will still benefit from financial rewards.

No Tracking

In today’s interconnected society, companies adopted less transparent practices of online tracking and behavioral profiling. Very sensitive information, such as financial and health records are often collected, thus raising a myriad of privacy concerns. Our solution incorporates a tracking script blocker that will severely disrupt the ability to continue tracking in real-time the user’s activity.

Antivirus Protection

The massive expansion of the Internet and the high degree of connectivity lead to a similar or even more dramatic rise in cyber-attacks aiming at gathering sensitive and confidential information. One of the most prominent way of carrying a cyber-attack is through the infected websites that usually contain hidden malware scripts. Our solution will protect the end users using a custom anti-malware and ad blocking script that will safeguard their personal data and enhance their security.

Faster Browsing

People are aware that online ads are slowing down their browsing speed, hence an increasing number of users are using ad blockers to navigate the internet faster. Through our solution, end users will benefit from the effects as using an ad blocker, while also enjoying a more secure and private experience due to the other features. Furthermore, the web operators will still be able to monetize their websites’ content.

HOW IT WORKS?

The financial rewarding basis for website operators will be the proof of online, namely a number that quantifies the time spent by users on each website. Most importantly, everyone will benefit from an ad free, secure and private browsing experience. Also, the end users will be able to rank each website based on their experience, by using a voting system based on 1 to 5 stars. The stars will then be converted based on an algorithmic formula in Trust Rating which will be an indicative of each websites' quality, awarded by its visitors.

The Logic of Online.io Working

● Privacy

Personal data of users are stored in encrypted form in the Online.io blockchain. Such an approach excludes the access of fraudsters, government, and other interested persons.

● Security

Each site working with Online.io receives the rating. If the internet community complains ads, spamming, or poor service, the rating of a site will be downgraded or excluded from the system. This logic protects creators of high-quality content, makes annoying ads ineffective.

● Availability

The materials published on the websites taking part in Online.io are available without subscription and contact information and are completely free of charge. Such politics makes hackers attack ineffective, excludes spamming. Users get “clean” Internet without useless information.

● Profitability

Owners of websites get tokens for the high rating, that’s why the high-quality administration and useful information to become profitable. Users are paid for visiting each site and setting the rating. Received tokens can be exchanged on any cryptocurrency or spent on shopping in Online.io itself.

ONLINE.IO ECOSYSTEM

In order to maintain quality browsing experience, Online.io is aimed at creating a unique decentralized ecosystem which includes several components and gives a possibility for utilizing the Internet space securely to full extent.

The Online.io ecosystem allows searching information, buying, and surfing the Internet securely. Each ad and website get the rating from users, the access to personal data is protected by the blockchain technology. The platform is built on 5 components.

The COMPONENTS of the Online.io ecosystem are as follows:

Desktop browser extension with included voting system for rating the visited websites. Ad blocker, anti-malware and tracking script blocker will be also embedded;

Mobile applications working as a wallet and owning smart security functions;

Wallet with automatic encryption and advanced security features (2FA, fingerprint, face recognition, passphrase and pin etc). It will be available for browsers and major operating systems;

Marketplace where users will be able to buy or sell products or services for specific tokens (ICE) serving as utility tokens;

Merchant system serving for accepting payments both in fiat and ICE. Receiving ICE payments will be commission-free and fiat payments will have 3% commission.

Ecommerce plugins and API SDK to satisfy major shopping demands and provide extended opportunities both for customers and companies.
