In Another Step Towards Building Metaverse-Scale Blockchain Infrastructure, Elrond Announces That Web3 Data Brokerage Platform Itheum Will Debut On Its Strategic Launchpad By DailyCoin

Elrond, the company developing internet-scale blockchain technology to onboard the next billion people into Web3 and the Metaverse, has announced its strategic support for Web3 data brokerage platform Itheum, which will debut on Elrond’s strategic launch platform, the Maiar Launchpad.

Itheum is on a mission to shift the fundamentals of the internet economy away from the one-sided advertising model, where user data is freely gathered and used by tech platforms, towards a collaborative model where the incentives for data producers and consumers are fully aligned.

“Some of the brightest minds of our generation and insane amounts of resources are increasingly focused on finding new ways to harvest data from users and selling it further for ads.”
said Mark Paul, Itheum CEO.

“If we empower users and businesses to own their data and derive value from it, the internet can progress to a new level of usefulness and trust, a solid foundation for the next territory for human evolution: the Metaverse”.
By leveraging Elrond Network’s scalable blockchain technology, Itheum will create the premise for everyone everywhere to manage their personal data as assets. Taking things a step further, Itheum is also deriving NFT technology to create NFMe ID-s, “soulbound” Data Avatars for the Metaverse.

“The elements are in place for building a compelling environment where adventure, exploration, and curiosity are elevated to unprecedented levels of immersiveness and unique relevance.”
said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond Network CEO.

“Data will be the building blocks of the Metaverse, and Itheum is creating the premise for everyone everywhere to share in the significant upside potential of this untapped new economy.”
NFMe ID technology will enable users to add a metadata layer to their regular avatar, and have more rich and customized experiences, while converting their data into a naturally recurring income stream for the new Metaverse economy.

This technology will be a powerful incentive for end-user adoption, while also creating the premises for data consumers to acquire more valuable and accurate data assets at competitive prices.

The Itheum platform is enterprise-ready out of the box and is already pioneered by a number of customers for healthcare, hospitality, labor and other business verticals that acknowledge data assets as the next frontier for significant growth.

Itheum is incubated by Morningstar Ventures in the strategic Elrond Dubai Incubator, and will debut in the Elrond ecosystem on the Maiar Launchpad in late March or early April.
