You probably noticed that in recent years, interest in quadrocopters has increased very much, or as they are called drones. Today many people already know about them. These devices are used for various purposes: for personal use as a toy for amateur shootings, for military purposes - everything is very clear here, for the needs of law enforcement agencies, in the media and many others. Some even use drones as a means to deliver the goods. The technology of production of modern drones on radio control is still young enough, it is no more than 10 years. But the very first prototypes were invented in the last century and were used mainly for military purposes.

It seems that the drones appeared only a couple of years ago. But during this time they were able to go from toy to expensive gadget, which gives a very high-quality picture. Professional photographers increasingly incorporate these devices into their workflow, they are attracted to photo enthusiasts, travelers and people of various professions.
For many people this will be a surprise, but apart from the ability to photograph, drones have functions with which they can collect information about the surrounding space. We have only to use what is given in full and begin to reveal their commercial potential through mass use in a variety of spheres. It is the capabilities of the drones and the financial benefits that they can bring that have pushed the Soar platform.

Benefits

The creation of a decentralized Soar market will give huge benefits to all its participants. This measure is really very urgent, as the number of drones owners around the world exceeds 100 million people, of which about 96% would never have thought that there is a variant of selling their favorite photographs. Sellers and buyers will be in the same ecosystem - this will simplify the search for really high-quality content. Also, the owners of drones will have free access to downloading their content to the open market. The decentralized market will include video files, photo files, aerial photos from the height of the bird's palette.

Developers plan to create an advanced open market for photo and video content shot with the help of a quadrocopter. Participants in the ecosystem will be able to multiply their revenues from the sale of footage to all interested parties around the world. All the finished content will be recorded in the block, which will guarantee security.

All the footage and unused content can be laid out on the platform. For example, if the user believes that the photo was not interesting, then this is no reason not to put it on the market. This photo can be of value to scientists who are engaged in geological prospecting, or other interested persons.

Blocker will act as a guarantor of the authenticity of the content owner through a smart contract. All data from the drones will be recorded in the block, namely: the hash file and its geolocation data (location, height, time and date of the survey), the brand of the quadrocopter, the address for file storage, the address of the owner's purse, the history of the transactions.

Soar provides dron owners with a fair and transparent platform for monetizing their content with the ultimate goal of creating a unique super-map of the world.
Already, the platform is available in the test network for study. https://demo.soar.earth/
This is a great opportunity for everyone to share their own photographs with the whole world.

Thanks to the Soar platform, the owners of drones will be able to use the commercial potential of their devices, selling the frames they made and the videos they shot. In addition, the blocking and smart contracts used by the platform will ensure the safety and security of the transmitted data, while recording the place, time and model of the device that took the picture. As the project develops, Soar wants to come to the creation of a global map of the world, which has great color and detail, thanks to the unification of a multitude of frames from different angles. The platform will accept only high-quality, suitable for use photos and videos. In addition, the map will be dynamic and capable of reflecting any changes that have occurred in reality, choosing newer and better quality frames.

Platform Features

As we have already mentioned, one of the main tasks of the Soar platform creators is to help monetize the content obtained with the help of drones. The made frames and video can be used in various researches, except for this in the process of work the drones collect data on geolocation and weather, which can be transferred to the interested services and get a reward for it.
The use of the blocking platform is primarily due to its usefulness in ensuring the authenticity of the received data. The guarantee of payment for content is smart contracts.
The Soar platform inserts the following data into the block:
Date and location The
height of the drone and its model The
description of the content and a list of related keywords, which is done to facilitate the search
Information on transactions for the purchase and sale of content

Project history

In creating the map, not only images are used, but also geolocation data. The Soar platform took care to make them reliable and accessible to all comers. Almost 10 years the project team, which we will talk about a little later, developed in this direction. They even managed to launch several successful applications related to the collection and analysis of cartographic data from several dozen countries.
In 2015, the project was interested in the US Department of Defense, which contributed to its development. Last year, the supplement, which was further developed and reinforced with additional encryption, appeared in service with US servicemen.

Token SKYM

To monetize the content provided by the owners of drones, the SKYM token will operate on the platform. With it, you can make transactions for the purchase and sale of images, videos and other data. Avoid fraud and fraud will help the use of smart contracts.
A total of 350 million SKYMs will be issued, which will be distributed as follows:
Closed sales stage - SKYM (32.9%) SKYM (32.9%)
Open sale stage - SKYM 15.5 million (4.3%)
Ecosystem building - SKYM 68.4 million (19.4%)
Community creation - SKYM (15.4%)

• SKYM (15.4%) - SKYM (13.7%)
• SKYM (13.7%) For the team - 43 000 000 SKYM (12.3%) To the
  advisors - 7 000 000 SKYM (2%)
  Details about the token and its course are not yet known, but right now you can participate in the Bounty program conducted by the creators of the Soar platform.

The Bounty Program

No matter how innovative and interesting the project is, it always needs additional advertising and attention. To disseminate information about the project, its creators decided to conduct a Bounty campaign. Already, everyone willing to support the Soar platform with their participation and attracting the audience can do it.
The campaign period is 7 weeks from August 13 to September 30 this year. During this time, 1,500,000 SKYM tokens will be distributed, which can be obtained by placing the original content and following the platform rules on the following resources:
Facebook and Twitter - 35% (525,000 SKYM)
Bitcointalk - 18% (270,000 SKYM)
Reddit - 8% ( 120,000 SKYM)
Telegram - 8% (120,000 SKYM)
Ins & LinkedIn - 8% (120,000 SKYM)
Special tasks - 8% (120 000 SKYM)
Other sites for posting content (blogs, websites, etc.) - 15% (225,000 SKYM)
