Inara World is a publishing platform that is working to create a new, tokenized economy for ebooks. Its focus is on solving the revenue and engagement challenges that authors face in the traditional publishing market.
The core of Inara's service is its "Streaming Ebooks" platform. This innovative model allows readers to pay for what they read, one page at a time, through a system of micropayments. This eliminates the need for readers to purchase an entire book upfront or to subscribe to a service. For authors, the platform provides a direct and transparent revenue stream, where they are paid for every page that is read.
The entire Inara World platform is built on the Hedera network. This integration is fundamental to the platform's ability to process a high volume of micropayments in a fast, secure, and cost-effective manner. By using Hedera, Inara provides a seamless and scalable solution for its tokenized ebook economy, creating a more equitable and engaging experience for both authors and readers.
ConsentCheq, a service by PrivacyCheq, is a consent management platform that helps businesses comply with global privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and COPPA. Since its launch in 2016, the company has focused on providing a "single source of truth" for user consent, enabling enterprises to manage and honor user privacy preferences in real-time across all their systems.
The core of ConsentCheq's service is a full-stack transparency and consent management solution. It provides tools for businesses to deliver clear privacy notices and to capture, log, and manage user consent for data collection and processing. A key feature is the "Consent Dashboard," a centralised interface where users can view and control their privacy settings for any business that uses the ConsentCheq service. The platform also offers "Consentive," an incentive-based system where consumers can be rewarded with micropayments for granting consent, which is designed to increase opt-in rates for data processing.
ConsentCheq's connection to the Hedera network is central to its "Consentive" service. The platform uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a high-throughput, low-cost, and auditable log of consent verification and payment events. Under privacy laws, advertising networks must verify consumer consent each time they process or track them.
