Like many online apps and platforms, Instant Messaging has delivered windfall revenues for tech companies and advertisers.
The users of those instant messaging applications have not enjoyed the same monetary benefits of that technology.
Birdchain (https://www.birdchain.io/) is a new decentralised messaging application which believes that it doesn’t need to be this way.
Instead it has created a model where users of their instant message app are able to earn income using it in the way they are already do so.
How Birdchain Will Enable Users To Earn Income
Birdchain is a Dapp (Decentralised Application) that enables users to earn passive income. At the same time it will provide companies with better access to their customers and relevant data.
In the process Birdchain wants to create an internal economy with the app. Birdchain users will be able to use the app to earn BIRD tokens. These BIRD tokens can then be used to spend on services within the app or transferred to external exchanges and be exchanged into either fiat or other cryptocurrencies.
The Role of the SMS Gateway
As noted below Vertex, the company behind Birdchain, is a leader in the European Application to Person (A2P) SMS market. With A2P an SMS message is sent from a web app to a mobile phone user.
There a number of different A2P SMS possible including SMS notification, two factor authentication, loyalty program, marketing messages and more.An example of an SMS message might be a reminder from a restaurant telling you that you have a booking arranged.
A2P SMS messaging has proved popular with even some of the leading tech companies. There reason for this is that the it has a number of benefits including being app independent, highly standardised, geo, network and platform independent. What’s more SMS message are expected to be read by 98% of people within three minutes of the time that they receive it.
There are problems with current A2P SMS market however. Currently people typically have unlimited SMS plans which they do not make full use of. In addition companies tend to feel that they are overpaying for A2P SMS services.
Birdchain would address this by enabling mobile phone users to sell their unused SMS to businesses using the Birdchain ap. This would enable customers to get an A2P SMS service at a price that is six times lower than what they typically now pay. Customers would be rewarded for every SMS that is sold through Birdchain.
Who Is Behind Birdchain
Birdchain is the creation of the European based company Vertex. Vertex was launched in 2009 with their A2P SMS aggregation tool. Since 2009 VertexSMS had delivered more than 2.6 billion SMS messages on behalf of brands including TransferGo, Salesforce and Western Union.
In 2015 Vertex received an award for being one of the fastest growing ITT startups in Lithuania. In 2016 Vertex has turnover of between 3 - 4 million with an EBITDA of 19%.
Birdchain Token Sale
All of the transactions that are conducted on the Birdchain platform would be done with the BIRD token. In total there would be a maximum supply of 580,263,158 BIRD tokens.
BIRD tokens are to be distributed in a token sale. The token sale is looking to raise a minimum of the equivalent of 1,500 ETH and a maximum of 10,500 ETH.
