Hi, RAID Community!

In this post, I will talk more about the RAID Alliance, a key role in the RAID ecosystem.

Airline Alliance: Win-win system for both airlines and passengers

Have you ever heard of the name Star Alliance or SkyTeam? It is a form of the union formed via alliance/partnership among airlines. Airline alliances unite in the form of code share * with each other.

What are the advantages of airlines when they belong to the Airline Alliance?

- Operation with better efficiency

By realizing economies of scale, airlines can provide efficient service at low cost, and secure various routes. In addition, redundant flights can cause unnecessary competition, but mutual code sharing can save you money.

- Ensuring the trustworthiness of the airlines of the Union

A number of internationally distributed airlines can collect and disseminate information on joint issues in the aviation industry to relevant agencies.

There are many other advantages such as the possible joining the cargo aviation alliance.

(* Code Share: Co-operative or Code Share agreements mean two airlines operating one aircraft.)

So what are the benefits that passengers get through the airline?

- Possible for mileage integration

A single airline cannot travel to cities around the world. If you do not have a co-operative flight, you must use multiple flights per trip. In order to earn mileage credits, you must be a member of the airline that you use. However, if you use a member of an airline alliance, mileage credits earned from other airlines can also conveniently used as a single airline mileage.

- Possible to utilize various interline routes

Moreover, it is possible to utilize interline routes between airline alliances even if it is not a one-ticket journey. If my destination is in the same airline area as my destination, it can be transferred without a separate check-in.

We’ve looked into how the existence of the airline alliance enabled both airlines and passengers to benefit. As a result, the aviation industry has been able to evolve today.

RAID Alliance, like the airline alliance, is a system that is beneficial for both game publishers and users.

RAID Alliance

RAID Alliance is a union of entities that can be directly or indirectly related to the RAID ecosystem and affect the ecosystem. Game developers, game distributors, streaming sites, payment platforms, and gaming communities will all be members of the RAID Alliance.

RAID Alliance Benefits

- Possible to utilize RAID data marketplace

RAID user data is the data needed by game distribution and marketing companies since they are aiming to gain users with high efficiency. Existing game industry players can participate as part of the RAID Alliance to acquire RAID tokens and data. This helps increase their competitiveness and profitability.

- Possible to discover a token profit model and acquire customers more efficiently

Companies of RAID Alliance can go beyond simply acquiring data to drive the use of their services by introducing the use of RAID tokens to their business models for RAID ecosystem users. In the case of game developers, they can either sell a specific item or skin only via RAID or introduce RAID token in their billing models, which will naturally attract users with RAID tokens. This will greatly increase the ROI of customer acquisitions. The airline alliance enjoys the effect of bringing other airlines’ customers to their customers through an integrated mileage program.

- Create revenue by operating RAID Node

In the RAID Chain, the nodes that are subject to the agreement is defined as RNL (Raid Node List). The RAID Chain consists of Ripple Protocol Consortium agreement structure. Therefore, the only pre-selected nodes can participate in a consensus. The RNL will be made up of participants who participate in the RAID ecosystem and create real value. RAID nodes participating in the consensus will be rewarded with RAID tokens, allocated in the round from the reward pool.

When RAID members actively introduce RAID tokens into their business models, they can naturally form a loop through RAID. As a result, RAID user data pools will become more sophisticated and ecosystem scale will increase.

Role and Responsibility of RAID Node

RNL will be comprised of individuals or organizations that are part of the RAID Alliance and can contribute to the ecosystem. As stated earlier, RAID nodes are selected as validators of RAID after clarifying the subject of operation, releasing technology and node performance for block creation, obtaining the trust of token holders. Initially designated by RAID Foundation, each node will then be qualified for its ability and influence through RAID on-chain governance.

If one performs any malicious actions on the RAID Chain, such as double spending, the benefits of the entire RNL will be reduced. Moreover, if an individual node act wrong, it will slash part of the RAID token that the node has and the certain amount provided by node operation.

As long as the maintenance of the RAID blockchain is delegated to the node, the transparency and integrity of the nodes determine the resilience of the RAID blockchain. Therefore, if the nodes can take full advantage, they will fulfill their obligations.

So far, we’ve looked at the RAID Alliance that will leapfrog the game data industry like the Airline Alliance.
