Exchange Platform works with Blockchain technology to create P2P decentralised network. Decentralised transaction of data transfer, transaction of spot market and decentralised storage is possible with blockchain.

Value of data calculates with algorithm in real-time. Spot market algorithm is based on supply demand. Supply is the number of data hunters. Demand is the number of data wanters. When supply decreases, value of data increases in real time.
