Watch the Video

The media business is driven by hunches and analog data systems. AlphaNetworks is building a data-driven solution that empowers creators to build their audiences and business, and gives audiences new sources of high-quality programming.

To accurately record real interaction with content, AlphaNetworks uses a “Proof Of Engagement” (POE) algorithm which records every view of every video on the blockchain, and determines and executes a direct payout to the content provider. This payout is proportional to the amount of viewership they have aggregated, relative to total network-wide viewership.

When recorded on a blockchain, our views are completely anonymized. The system builds valuable but anonymized demographic and consumption data, allowing AlphaNetworks to optimize the experience of each viewer, creator and sponsor.

AlphaNetworks Tokenomics

AlphaNetworks creates three-sided economy – but unlike many crypto attention economies, it is based on business models that exist and generates billions in revenue today.

Customers buy access to our content with AlphaNetworks Tokens.
Customers are paid, in specific cases, for viewing content.
Creators are paid a monthly reward based on Proof of Engagement.
