In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, it’s hugely important to be able to deliver genuine user experience. Review platforms like yelp.com have long been a place to share valued opinions at the same time being a driving force for businesses to gather customer feedback. But as we all know those platforms over time started to lose credibility, since they had a bunch of common issues, both economic and technical. How can users be sure that their reviews would be edited or deleted later on by the website admin, for example? As for companies, they might doubt the fact that those reviews are written by real people, not bots or competitors. Then an economic problem kicks in bringing users’ motivation and reviews authenticity into play. Most of the users would not invest their time and effort into writing a detailed review unless they know they would get some compensation. And in the era of AI, it’s not difficult to program some automatic review engine that would generate ‘robotic’ reviews.
That’s where we as a community feel the need for an engine that can provide a new generation feedback. And guess what? It’s almost here. We are introducing REVAIN — a review platform implementing blockchain technology making sure that the feedback the users leave is authentic. The authenticity is achieved by the operation method where reviews fragments are processed both by machines and manually and then are saved into the blockchain. Therefore there is a guarantee that those comments won’t be edited later. We are also using KYC-systems features to provide super organic reviews and minimise the risks of fake ones. The businesses, therefore, can always get an adequate feedback from platform users — real customers, which allows them to take their product or service to the next level. What value is in here for you as a customer? The platform token called RVN is used to motivate you to leave only legitimate reviews.

Our engine is built on smart contract protocol making all the reviews accessible both to humans and machines. It appears to be crucial in the upcoming era of Internet of Things. Imagine a robot is to make a choice on a product or a service, logging in to REVAIN and accessing reviews saved in the blockchain, making an opinion and purchasing, say, a new washing machine for your house. How cool is that! And the urge for such M2M (machine-to-machine) interactions is going to grow even faster.

At the moment a beta-version of the platform is being tested. The platform interaction with blockchain at RVN-token level is achieved. We plan to launch a public alpha-version by the end of September 2017.

REVAIN pre-crowdfunding campaign starts on August 8 to accumulate tokens for building and maintaining the platform that will allow users to get genuine and durable data about products, services and IT-startups. Later on, we plan to expand the platform segments using the same blockchain mechanism so that to cover such topics as a cryptocurrency, e-commerce, booking and gaming markets, FMCG. We see REVAIN potential to become a breakthrough on review market.
The crowdfunding itself kicks off on August 21 with the hard cap of 20 million.
Crowdfunding — as well as the forthcoming token creation — are based on smart contracts operating on Ethereum platform. So if you wish to support us, you simply need to send cryptocurrencies (we accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ethereum classic, Litecoin, Dash, Monero, Zcash, NEM) or other blockchain projects tokens (we will provide the list a bit later) on or after August 21. Crowdfunding will last for two weeks with 70% of our tokens being emitted. Don’t miss on your chance to try out our revolutionary technology.
