The SPK Network is a decentralised Web3 protocol that promises to revolutionize the way we interact with digital content. Its aim is to reward value creators and infrastructure providers fairly and autonomously, allowing all users, creators, and platforms to reap benefits on a level playing field.

SPK Network integrates with the Hive blockchain.

A Decentralised and Censorship-Resistant Future

In the future, the SPK Network will position itself as an alternative to centralised content platforms that often control and censor user content. Instead of relying on a CEO or a group of administrators, the SPK Network will be jointly owned by all system participants, eliminating a single point of control or censorship.

Users who run the SPK Network desktop application will be able to store content from creators. When a user plays a video, the application will automatically begin to download it, removing the burden of hosting from the content creator. If a server hosting the video goes down, the content will continue to be available thanks to secondary nodes storing the data.

Tokenisation and NFT Creation on the Horizon

In the future, the SPK Network will offer a token creation system for content creators and communities. This will allow creators to have their own community-centric token economies. In addition, it will enable the creation of NFTs, allowing creators and communities to turn memes or any other content into collectables.

Rewards for Contributing to the Network

The SPK Network will reward those who contribute to the network in various ways. Dedicated storage node operators will be rewarded for providing storage capacity to the network. Video encoding node operators can receive direct payments for their work. Network users will be able to operate a content delivery gateway, providing high-volume content to thousands of users at once.

Digital Ownership and Immutable Communities

In the SPK Network, creators will have direct ownership of their account and digital assets. Communities will be immutable and can only be deleted by their creator. Information about a community will be stored on the blockchain or a distributed ledger, ensuring its permanence and resistance to censorship.

The SPK Network represents a vision of the future for the creation and distribution of online audiovisual content. By eliminating intermediaries and putting power in the hands of creators and users, the SPK Network is redefining what it means to be a social media protocol in the era of Web3.
