About the Insights Network

The Insights Network, created by Y Combinator alumni Brian Gallagher, Darwin Lo, and Brandan Zaucha, is a blockchain based data exchange that allows individuals to manage and monetize the data they create in a liquid, real time data marketplace. This marketplace exists on top of the Insights Network protocol built on top of the EOS blockchain and is fueled by the INSTAR token.

Insights as a Market Research Platform

In addition to being a KYC solution, Insights Network aims to become a platform for market research, including consumer surveys by companies. Layer Protocol and Insights will look to extend its partnership along these lines in the near future.
