What is Swash?
Swash is a web browser extension that pays you to browse the web. It's built using decentralised technology.
How does Swash work?
When you use Swash, data you already give away for free is captured, anonymised, and sold on a decentalised marketplace, hosted by Streamr. Your data is pooled together with others' to create a large data set, or Data Union, which data buyers pay to access via subscription.
You will then receive 70% of the profits for your contribution, with payments deposited directly into your account in DATAcoin. The remaining 30% will be used by Swash to continue operating and growing the platform. More users = more value for the community.
What is the difference between Swash and giant data collectors?
Swash puts you - as the value contributor - first. Your data is anonymous and end-to-end encrypted for privacy and Swash makes sure you receive proper compensation for your value. That doesn't happen anywhere else.
The data Swash collects is more reliable and much higher quality than others can offer because it's given with full consent and transparency. Data collectors tend to use shady collection methods and it's all a bit of a mess, whereas Swash data is clean, transparent, and reliable.
What is Streamr?
Swash has been built on top of the Streamr stack and uses their coin, DATA. Real-time and historical Swash data is listed on the Streamr Marketplace.
Should I be concerned about my privacy when using Swash?
No, privacy is one of the most important values for Swash. That's why Swash source code is completely open-source and available on our Github.
How does Swash keep my data anonymous?
Swash doesn't create any relationship between your identity and your data. Your only identifier is your Ethereum wallet address and a random unique identifier. The wallet address is used for authentication and payment purposes.
How can I be sure that my sensitive data is safe and not added to the marketplace?
Swash doesn't collect any sensitive information at all, so you don't need to worry. Swash will simply ignore your sensitive data. Check our privacy policy for more detail.
What currency do I earn?
You earn DATA coin, the native token of Streamr. You can then withdraw your earnings into an Ethereum wallet, where you can easily to withdraw to fiat if you like.
Does 'Swash is in Beta' mean I can't earn money?
No. You still can earn money and buyers can buy the product. It just means it's not production-grade yet and some glitches and bugs can be expected.
