SHARING THE WORLD THROUGH YOUR LENS

In 2023, Emily traveled to 5 cities, toured different locations, and took 11,565 photos of her adventure.

However, these images stayed in her gallery.

They didn't help others or make her money.

Don't be like Emily.

If you're like Emily or any average citizen, chances are you've amassed a ton of photos from your travels or area.

But what if I told you that these photos could benefit others and earn you rewards at the same time?

Here, we'll explore the process step-by-step.

Walk with me

On a journey to exploring my curiosity while sharing what I learn in the way✨️

It’s no news that millions of people use current mapping apps like Google, Apple, AllTrail map, etc.

However, they come 
with a lot of flaws, such as

🔹Costly satellite prices

🔹Centralized Control

🔹Old & fabricated data

However, Proto is rewriting that story.

Here is how👇

@protomap  is a user-generated, decentralized, and token-incentivized map of IRL places.

It allows you to catalog and share your everyday activities and places while earning from them.

By harnessing user insights, Proto creates more accurate and inclusive maps

Your everyday activities, like going for a walk or visiting a new restaurant that just opened in your area, the health clinic, the grocery store, or that hidden spot where lovers hang out, can all be documented on Proto 

As long as this information is accurate, you get paid

Even Farcaster don't pay you for ur posts:)

How is @protomap solving conventional Mapping issues?

🔷 Cost-effective: With Proto, you and I get to be mappers, cutting the need for Satellites, which cost anywhere from $50m to $500m.

What if one uploads a fake image?

Live Proof of Location curbs that!

🔷The POL feature ensures that mappers only take photos of the location where they are in.

As such, they can't just upload any image from their gallery.

I was discussing this with @thede-plandude and this prevents uploading fake data, unlike those in conventional mapping apps.

🔷Decentralization: You can think of Proto as a community of photo enthusiasts, curating images from around the world.

Each user contributes their own unique perspective, and together, these data & insights form a comprehensive map that reflects the richness of IRL experiences.

🔷Mapping The Unmapped: Unlike conventional mapping services that favor developed areas, with each user behind mappers, we can expect to see coverage of remote locations.

Getting rid of demographic biases and letting people know about other regions.

Your city ... Your map💯

🔷 Earn Rewards: Unlike other platforms, Proto prioritizes mappers.

Just like photographers earn royalties for their photos, mappers on Proto earn rewards for their mapping efforts.

Proto recognizes the value of user-generated-content and ensures that contributors are compensated.

FEATURES OF PROTO.
Proto comes with a lot of features to make mapping seamless for mappers.
