Blinked is an existing social media platform that allows users to get paid for their recommendations and digital advertisements. It is also the first media platform that will provide up to 90% of ad revenue to users via blockchain and Blinked decentralized social media models. It has grown to more than 13,000 temporary users only under development and is now ready to launch Blinked 5.0 with a new token environment that rewards users in a variety of ways.
GOOD CITIZENS
In recognition of the great potential of crypto-token publishing holding as a method of carrying out tasks on Blinked platform, Blinked, Inc. pledged to publish reports on advances in technological development and how businesses develop as a result of these efforts. Blinked, Inc. will share the general results of research and development with the larger Ethereum and blockchain communities, contributing to the public knowledge base. In other words, Blinked is committed to being a good citizen of the larger blockchain and
cryptocurrency community.
USE THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN FOR TOKEN SALES
Blockchain is a Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) designed to support Bitcoin cryptocurrency. This is a distributed database designed to maintain a growing list of records called blocks. Each block contains a timestamp and a link to the previous block. Blockchains managed by peer-to-peer networks consist of nodes, and collectively follow protocols to validate new blocks and additions to the database.
After recording, the data in the given block cannot be changed retroactively, which is also often referred to as unchanging. Functionally, blockchain can function as an open ledger that is distributed that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a way that can be verified and permanent. Blockchains are safe with design and are examples of distributed computing systems with high Byzantine fault tolerance. This makes blockchains potentially suitable for recording events, recordings, identities, transactions, and other documentation.
The database does not exist at one central node. Instead, it is contained entirely on each network node , which means it is safer. Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency (based on the market), has fostered interest in and development of other blockchain-based technologies, including Ethereum.
Ethereum is an open source, public blockchain-based DLT that displays scripting functions. This means, among other things, that the Ethereum blockchain can be used for purposes outside of cryptocurrency and it can facilitate online contract agreements called smart contracts. This smart contract is fully programmable and allows the exchange of trusted tokens, while maintaining the same level of permanence.
This has given companies the opportunity to crowdsource their fundraising efforts through Initial Coin Offers (or ICOs).
USE EOS BLOCKCHAIN FOR PLATFORM
The Blinked platform will utilize the performance and capabilities of the EOS blockchain to support our model and growth. With the release of June 2018, Blinked will take advantage of their new decentralization of operating systems developed to support decentralized industrial-scale platforms, with no transaction cost barriers and scalability capabilities of the Ethereum blockchain.

Interview with Blinked.live
July 23, 2018
We have the opportunity to speak with Julie Benlevi-Little who functions as Blinked CEO. This is a great way for us to learn more about Blinked like how it happened, who were the founders, what motivated them to make Blinked and more.
Julie, thank you for taking some time to answer some questions in Blinked. Because there are many ICOs and projects that come out every day, many people don't even want to research most of them again because usually they tend not to prosper and run away with money.
What is Blinked and is there a need in the market for this token?
"Sure. Thanks for having me. Blinked was developed to solve some problems both in the recommendation space and social media space. We are the first universal recommendation platform that drives almost all income to users. We are all busy using social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, while they generate billions of dollars in advertising from our presence. We like the idea of a decentralized platform and direct up to 90 percent of advertising revenue to users through Blinked [BLKD] Tokens, while allowing them to get recommendations about anything. Kind of like watching world cup or Superbowl, and earning income from the ads that you see because you have watched these programs. Users will also be able to obtain BLKD tokens to contribute their recommendations to the platform.
Also, there are so many different recommendation platforms that focus on specific niches or markets, such as travel, eating, home improvement, etc. But there is no universal recommendation platform that focuses on everything, anywhere. Blinked allows users to get recommendations about anything (people, places, products, services, technology, events, etc.) directly from their friends (and not strangers), all over the world. "
What makes you start Blinked and why?
"I come from a digital background and have been building digital platforms for years. Blinked is actually my third startup. The recommendation space is currently monopolized by one company in the US (Yelp) and we believe users around the world are looking for platforms that come with levels. higher trust.
Blinked was developed into a universal recommendation platform where users can find recommendations directly from their friends about anything, while allowing users to obtain simultaneously from engaging with the platform. "
Blinked has several influential influencers in sports that support the project, what is their role in Blinked?
"Yes, that's right. Our investors, advisers and influencers include Amukamara Prince (Chicago Bears), John Brenkus (ESPN), Yoenis Cespedes (New York Mets), Big Sean (Nation Nation artists) and too many more to mention. We have incredible team with 20+ people behind us. "
Amazon, a multi-billion dollar company, is one of your partnerships along with Open Table. What is their role in Blinked?
"Yes. We are more than decentralized businesses, but utilize their ability to allow users to make restaurant reservations or buy any products recommended by their friends. Their behavior is quite familiar."
Passing Question 1 in the White Book (WP) - Users do not receive compensation to contribute and recommend products / services on platforms such as Yelp. Blinked has solved this problem by creating a platform where the same users who recommend products / services will receive compensation if they recommend through the Blinked platform. Compensation comes in the form of Blinked Gold [BGZD]. Because this is a valid solution, does it not create another problem for users to have to learn about cryptocurrency - how to save BGZD, how to withdraw etc?
"An understandable question. Users are very familiar with the content that contributes to the platform. They are not used to paying for it. We think this will be a good addition to the behavior learned. There is no new action they need to take and will only find Blinked The Gold [BGZD] obtained in their Blinked wallet in the application can come out of the application in what we call "Blinked Arcade" and exchange tokens for things like hotel rooms, products, services, etc. or they can exit external. "
Run us through Solution 2 where users get compensation for consuming advertisements - let's say User A watches Altcoin Investment Video Ads, and halfway through the video they decide to keep scrolling - Do they still receive compensation?
"Users receive compensation based on their level of engagement with the platform and content. So, if User A watches a 30-second video for Altcoin Investing, they will receive full compensation (up to 90 percent) for the video. If they watch half of it, they receive half of the compensation (45 percent). Compensation is relative to their interest in the content. Users are shown advertising content that interests them based on the type of content they contribute or follow. You will never see advertisements for content that does not apply to your interests. There is also no way to play games just to earn money. "
Solution 3 in WP allows users to monetize their own data - how do users A monetize their current profile information like what movies they like, restaurants they recommend, people they follow etc.? Also, do you think that today's social media platforms don't do a very good job in maintaining the security of user data? Will flashing be able to do what Facebook and some other platforms basically don't do very well that secures user data?
"For starters, we build on the blockchain. This is a completely different level of transparency. If users are involved, they inherently monetize their own data because they generate based on their own level of involvement (recommend, get a lot of likes on recommendations, income from ad content )
For the first time, users are people who make money from their own social media activities. All this data is captured on the blockchain, so there is no lie about how much the user has obtained or how many people have seen a particular ad.
If you advertise on Facebook today, you have to trust Facebook analytics and they decide how much you will pay for it. But there are several ways to verify or audit that information without having to use another platform (which you also have to pay). This is too complicated and not a very trustworthy system. We clean it. We change the curve with the way social media is done today.
Facebook transparency has been a problem for a while (Cabridge Analytica, etc.) and users are ready for new ways of doing things and new dynamics - where they are recipients. "
Isn't reviewing the product the same as recommending / not recommending it? For example, user A tries a phone case and likes it - he will write why they like it and, in the reviews, they will recommend it descriptively. OR maybe User B tried the same phone case but didn't like it and just didn't recommend it for no reason?
"Recommendations and reviews are not the same. You can review something and not necessarily recommend it. You can report to a place and do not want to recommend it. Blinked is the actual recommendation platform. There is no sound that you do not like because it is not recommended by someone you know You won't see it. If you like it, you're Blink. Plain and simple. "
What can users expect from "The Blinked Feed" compared to their Facebook / Instagram feed?
"Blinked feed includes any recommendations from people you choose to follow. This is not too different from other social media platforms where you choose the people and sources that you are interested in. Then you see recommendations and content when you scroll. Blinked feeds are sidewipe actions ( left to right), and you can see so many different things that are recommended in real time, you can add the person you want to follow at any time.
I sometimes forget that I am the founder of Blinked and stuck in content in seconds, because I see things recommended by my friends that I have never known before. This is amazing. "
Blinked basically has two tokens - Blinked Tokens (BLKD) and Blinked Gold (BGZD), can you explain to the reader the difference between the two and why there are two tokens.
"Blinked Token [BLKD] is an external token that can be exchanged by users for Blinked Gold [BGZD], a stable internal token. Users can exit in the same way by returning to Blinked [BLKD] Tokens from Blinked Gold [BGZD]."
Finally, why raise funds through initial coin offerings rather than do it in the traditional way like other social media companies have done?
"This is a new era of decentralization where users can participate in the success of social media platforms. We have tested a model in which users get rewards for their content, and therefore it makes sense for us to integrate the economy of tokens and environments where users get.
The ICO is an attractive way for users to participate in the success of a decentralized social media platform. "
There are other comments that you want to convey to the reader?
"We are an existing platform with 13,000 users, an extraordinary team and existing products and are very enthusiastic to allow users around the world to make money for change."
