Are you sick of your data being mined?
What if privacy & data ownership made it possible for you to earn Bitcoin from your online data?
What if you could enjoy your online experience with no manipulation or bias in your feed?
What if we, the people, were the ultimate authority in this online world, and institutions and agencies worked under us to serve all of humanity?
Will you be part of that world?
How Big Tech Exploits You
The internet, once a symbol of freedom, has become a tool for oppression. Giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon treat your data as their private goldmine, silencing dissent and manipulating your online experience. They profit while you’re exploited. This is the reality:
- Data Theft: Your online activity is meticulously tracked, packaged, and sold to the highest bidder, all without your meaningful consent or a single penny in return.
- Censorship and Control: Big Tech decides what you see and what you don’t. Dissenting voices are silenced, narratives are manipulated, and your access to information is controlled.
- Privacy Invasion: Your personal data is constantly at risk, vulnerable to breaches, misuse, and exploitation.
FameGuild | A User-Owned Decentralized Ecosystem
FameGuild is pioneering a decentralized revolution within the Bitcoin ecosystem, constructing a comprehensive suite of marketplaces, everyday applications, and infrastructure to empower users. Responding to growing mainstream anxieties over data privacy, censorship, and centralized control, FameGuild directly confronts the limitations of the corporate-dominated internet. The current model, built on user data extraction and inherent inefficiencies, is ripe for disruption. FameGuild emerges as a powerful alternative, architecting a decentralized ecosystem designed to return digital power and ownership to individuals, capitalizing on surging demand for user-centric infrastructure.
Our vision is to build a truly user-owned cyberspace anchored by Bitcoin, fostering an open, equitable, and sustainable digital future where value and power are rightfully returned to the community. This fundamental paradigm shift culminates in FameChain, FameGuild’s flagship product: a user-owned, data-centric Bitcoin Layer 2 blockchain engineered for full-stack decentralized applications.
Roadmap
FameGuild’s development is phased, with clear milestones for building a decentralised internet:
- (LIVE! Alpha Stage) Phase 1: BitcoinNFT Marketplace & Launchpad: Building the foundation with a marketplace for buying and selling NFTs and a launchpad for new sub-DAOs.
- Phase 2: Worlds(like decentralised youtube) & Decentralised Adsense: Introducing core elements of decentralised content with Worlds, and a decentralised AdSense.
- Phase 3: FameChain (Decentralised Internet): Launching the FameChain blockchain to host the ecosystem.
- Phase 4: Decentralised Internet - Independent Operation: FameChain operates independently, achieving complete decentralisation.
Phase 3: FameChain
FameGuild offers a decentralized alternative, eliminating the flaws of centralized control while retaining its benefits. We’re building a complete decentralized structure – economically, infrastructurally, and governmentally.
1. Economic Foundation: Bitcoin’s Decentralized Power
Bitcoin is the currency of this new web, enabling a Bitcoin economy where infrastructure operations and all economic activity are conducted using Bitcoin.
2. Decentralized Infrastructure: Powered by the People
A peer-to-peer network of user-owned devices provides processing, storage, and data transmission.
- Decentralized Storage: Data is encrypted, distributed, and duplicated across these nodes, with ownership and control remaining with the user. Users can choose to keep their data private or monetize it through our decentralized Adsense or data marketplace.
- Decentralized Processing Power: Applications on FameGuild can tap into the network’s distributed processing power. Users can sell their device’s processing capabilities, particularly valuable for AI model training. This allows applications to directly purchase data from users via the data marketplace and utilize distributed processing to create innovative services.
- Secure Data Transmission: Data is transmitted through encrypted channels.
- Boundless Nodes: Beyond storage, processing, and transmission, FameGuild’s network will support diverse nodes, including sensors, enabling a global data marketplace. Users can share sensor data (privately or publicly), empowering applications to access and act upon this information.
3. Decentralized Governance: Power to the Community
To ensure ethical operation, we’re implementing a decentralized governance system where users create institutions and agencies to oversee all aspects of the network.
- User-Created Institutions: Users establish institutions to manage various aspects of the network, such as node oversight, dispute resolution, and commerce.
- Staker Governance: Stakers of the decentralized internet, tiered by stake amount, elect representatives to these institutions. Higher staking tiers receive greater seat allocation within the institutions, increasing their chances of election. Each staker, however, has only one vote, preventing plutocracy. Stakers also receive a share of the network’s revenue, proportional to their staked amount.
- Ultimate Authority: Stakers retain ultimate authority, able to overrule institutional decisions, ensuring the network serves the people.
Power to the Users
FameGuild is building a decentralized internet, anchored by Bitcoin’s robust foundation, where you are in control:
- Own Your Data: FameGuild puts you in the driver’s seat. You control your data, choosing who accesses it and how it’s used. Monetize it directly through our decentralized data marketplace and earn Bitcoin – it’s your data, your choice.
- Earn Bitcoin: Big Tech used to profit from your data; now you can. Our decentralized Adsense platform empowers you to choose which data you share with advertisers, privately, cutting out Big Tech middlemen. Earn Bitcoin for your attention and data, participating in a transparent, user-owned advertising ecosystem where you’re in charge.
- Contribute: Connect your devices to the FameGuild network and share your unused storage, processing power, and bandwidth. Earn FAME tokens for your contribution, stake them to earn even more Bitcoin from FameGuild’s diverse revenue streams, and be a vital part of the decentralized infrastructure.
- True Self-Governance: FameGuild empowers you to govern the network. Elect institutions, propose and vote on changes, and ensure that the internet remains free from centralized control. You are the ultimate authority.
- Unstoppable Applications: Build, deploy and use full stack applications without the fear of arbitrary takedowns. FameGuild’s decentralized architecture ensures that applications operate freely, guided by the ethical principles established by the community’s governance.
FameChain vs. ICP vs. MultiversX
While projects like ICP and MultiversX talk about decentralization, they ultimately retain significant centralized control. They are still susceptible to government pressure and corporate manipulation. FameGuild is different. We are committed to:
- True Data Ownership: Unlike ICP and MultiversX, FameGuild gives you complete control over your data. We believe your data is your property, not a commodity to be exploited.
- Decentralized Power: FameGuild distributes power away from centralized entities and into the hands of the people. We are building a truly democratic internet, governed by the community, not corporations or governments.
- Direct Monetization: FameGuild empowers you to directly monetize your data and contributions, unlike other platforms that still rely on centralized intermediaries.
- Open and Accessible Network: Anyone can contribute to the FameGuild network by connecting their devices, unlike systems that restrict participation.
- Ethical and Unstoppable Applications: FameGuild’s governance system ensures that applications operate ethically, while its decentralized nature guarantees they cannot be arbitrarily shut down.
Technical Highlights
FameChain’s architecture is built for a decentralized internet, prioritizing robustness and scalability. A data-centric blockchain, optimized for speed, security, and scalability, forms the core. Network security and incentivized participation are achieved through a hybrid consensus mechanism combining Proof-of-Stake (PoS), Proof-of-Replication (PoRep), and Proof-of-Spacetime (PoSt). Data integrity and verifiability are ensured through on-chain storage of metadata and hashes, while Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) safeguard user privacy during data sharing. Bitcoin serves as the base currency, providing a stable foundation for FameChain’s economy. Scalability is boosted by asynchronous subnets enabling parallel processing. Developers can easily transition projects to FameChain thanks to EVM compatibility. Finally, a multi-layered governance system and a decentralized network of incentivized nodes ensure community control and infrastructure strength.
$FAME Token: Ecosystem Utility and Governance
The $FAME token is central to FameGuild ecosystem, governing the network, resolving disputes, and incentivizing participation. Crucially, $FAME stakers accumulate revenue in Bitcoin, generated from diverse FameGuild revenue streams including the BitcoinNFT Marketplace, Decentralized Adsense, Worlds content hubs, the decentralized data marketplace, and many future ecosystem services.
