Hi friends, how are you?
Back with me to talk about Bright Network https://brightnetwork.io/

Before, please read my previous article about Bright here http://tiny.cc/kl9x1y and here http://tiny.cc/vi9x1y

Now, we will talk more technically about Bright Network.

Alright. First, Bright's presence in the blockchain industry was caused by a major factor; credit gap in micro businesses and SMEs. What does it mean? There is a gap between loans that can be absorbed by micro-businesses and SMEs with large industries.

At least, based on Bright's data and analysis results with AMPP Group, that micro-businesses and SMEs in the country developing experiencing a loan shortage of at least 1.2 trillions of dollars.

This is where Bright actually is. Bright analyzes what is needed by micro-businesses and SMEs, related to how each of them has structured and reliable data, so that it can be used by prospective creditors and other funders. Then brightly process it and accommodate it through a platform or dApps that is independent, built on an open autonomous data sharing protocol. It combines cryptographically secure Data Vaults with an open ecosystem of services. Through Data Vaults, anyone can build on top of the Bright Protocol to access trusted data and data services.

Technology

A. Protocol
Bright Network is built on an open Autonomous Data sharing protocol. It combines cryptographically secure Data Vaults with an open ecosystem of services to enable the creation of disruptive new data sharing economies.
Bright Network is being developed to be independent of use-case, so anyone can build on top of the Bright Protocol to access trusted data and data services through Data Vaults.
Bright Labs is the team responsible for building the first services and dApps on the network. By leading the way, Bright Labs will help bootstrap a developer ecosystem and provide guidance on how Bright open protocol can be used to build a new generation of financial services.

A.1. Powered by the Blockchain
By using blockchain technology, access to Bright Network is not constrained to a central arbitrating authority. Fees for consuming data or services are governed by Bright's Open Protocol, allowing new markets and economies to emerge.

A.2. Privacy-first Machine Learning
By opening up new sources of data to FinTechs, NeoBanks and other financial service providers, new modelling techniques can create powerful new tools. Bright Network is designed to facilitate machine learning on private data. Bright Labs is already pioneering research in this field.

A.3. Fees & Rewards
Bright Network empowers businesses to earn money for the use of their data and empowers service providers to sell their data services to the network. All payments in the network use smart contracts to automate fee collection and distribution. By tokenising network usage and taking a small fee per interaction, the network is able to pay for its ongoing development which is owned and operated decentrally.

B. Token
B.1. BRT

Ticker : BRT
Token Type : ERC20
Token Role : Utility
Total Supply : 5 Billion

Payment
BRT is the native token of Bright Network and used to pay for transactions and operations at the protocol layer.

Governance
BRT holders will be able to influence the direction and development of Bright Network.

Staking
Financial Services providers compete on a BRT stake weighted basis for access to data vaults relative to marketplace demand-supply dynamics.

Discovery
Service and data discovery will utilise BRT to regulate marketplace visibility.

Network Development
BRT will be used to incentivise actions beneficial to the growth and operation of the network, and create disincentives for detrimental, malicious or fraudulent actions.

B.2. BRTX

Ticker : BRTX
Token Type : ERC20
Token Role : Security
Total Supply : 1 Billion

Revenue Share of Bright Network
All network usage fees collected by Bright Network, denominated in BRT, will be distributed amongst BRTX holders on a periodic basis. These revenues will be distributed via smart contracts in perpetuity.

Governance
BRTX holders will be able to influence the direction and development of Bright Network.

C. Data Vaults

Data Vaults allow users to store data in a private, secure way that they truly own. Bright call data stored in a vault on the network Autonomous Data

C.1. True Data Ownership
Vaults are secured by cryptographic keys that are owned by the creator of the vault. All network interactions require these keys in order to verify data ownership.

C.2. End-to-end Encryption
Bright protocol ensures that all interactions with vaults use encrypted data. Neither Bright nor any intermediate services on the network can understand this encrypted data.

C.3. Permissioned Data Access
Vault owners must allow access to third parties to view data in their vault. The data to be shared can be specified, and is only viewable by the approved counterparty. Privately sharing data with service providers powers the Bright Network data ecosystem.

C.4. Trusted data
All data is secured according to ubiquitous, trusted cryptographic methodologies

C.4.1. Signature Verification
All data is signed by its author, making its origins verifiable by any other user on the network. In this way, data is verifiably tamper-resistant.

C.4.2. Linked Data
Vault entries can be linked to each other to represent relationships between data and users. These relationships can be used in a wide-array of different scenarios, including the ability for one user to attest a claim made by another user.

C.4.3. Web of Trust
Linked attestations between user’s data and services creates a web of claims that can be analysed. Such a web of trust can be used build trust and reputation around users and services on the network. This is a powerful tool for analysing risk and fraud.
