Now that the hype of crypto coins relying on little more than striking names and eager newbies appears to reach the dead end it was heading for, valuable projects tend to reinstate what blockchain technology actually stands for: transparency , security and efficiency.

Same core values sparked Alexandru Iulian Florea’s latest idea that’s currently taking shape Online.io. Further to creating Microleaves the largest residential peer to peer proxy network in the world, the Romanian IT savvy entrepreneur aims no lower than creating a revolution in terms of online browsing experience.

Should John Lennon be alive today, he’d be first to update his prized song with a few extra lines: “Imagine an online world free of malware, tracking and ads”. Nowadays, we’ve grown such accustomed to these shortcomings that it took a massive scandal for people to notice how corporations take advantage of our time and resources, which we willingly handover, and trade them to the highest bidder.

Ethics? Just a quick look into the Facebook — Cambridge Analytica case confirms this concept was thrown under the big-bucks-bus a long time ago. Currently it is estimated the total digital media spending accounts for 1 trillion dollars, while ADSense and Facebook ads top the online adverting industry by selling your personal information.

But few are willing to trade their hard earned likes or even think of replacing Google as their preferred search engine for a safe online browsing experience. Good news is that you don’t have to.

Online.io ecosystem

Putting blockchain technology to good use for individual internet users, Online.io aims to block adds, stop tracking and protect from increasing malware attacks . Such effective privacy solutions usually come at a high price.

However, the envisaged Online.io ecosystem entails website operators to unlock a multi-billion dollar market by replacing the traditional revenue model with a revolutionary non-invasive one which capitalizes on the time spent by users online. While end users will enjoy an ad free, secure, and non-trackable browsing experience and better engage with content and brands.

But how can this even be possible? OIO tokens are key element used to fuel the entire ecosystem designed to bootstrap the development of the Online.io solution. As a prerequisite, website operators will stack OIO tokens in order to use the technology and mine ICE tokens. The ICE tokens are mined through a brand new consensus algorithm called proof-of-online, an eco-friendly way that does not require massive hardware investments and does not pollute the environment, which takes into account the time spent by users on the web pages. Separately, investors holding OIO tokens who are not website operators will receive a percentage of all ICE tokens mined, just by holding their participation. More in depth details on the mechanics are shared within the whitepaper and in the 24/7 Telegram Community

The road to mass adoption

While everyone is talking about it, lots regard it as their ticket to wealth and some claim to have understood its full potential, only a select few have figured out ways blockchain technology can change how we spend our time for the better. It’s a given that transferring significant amounts of money in a secure way at minimal cost should earn nothing but thumb-ups, but it’s not everyday you have to wire 1 million dollars. On the opposite you are surfing the internet while you’re reading this and you’ll most probably be doing it long after you finish too.

Then why let others profit from your time instead of joining an environment in which your privacy is guaranteed, your resources are not hijacked and the only ones benefiting from your attention are the very sites you choose to visit? Blockchain makes this possible, Online.io gives you the tools, the choice is yours.
