Oyster Pearl is data storage and website monetization blockchain protocol using IOTA Tangle for data retention and Ethereum for smart contracts.
Users can upload their data for storage paying PRL tokens and the IOTA Tangle's data redundancy capability prevents it from being lost.
In an uncommon manner, the nodes storing the data and performing proof-of-work, in this case, are actually visitors from websites containing a particular javascript in their source code. This script drives theShow more [+] isitor's device, whether they know about it or not, to dedicate their own CPU or GPU power to the blockchain. The wallets referenced by this script then get rewarded for the computational work performed by their visitor in PRLs.
This way, Oyster Pearl serves both as an alternative for ads for website monetization and as a data storage platform.
