Primas is a decentralized project dedicated to addressing a series of issues brought about by the internet economy using blockchain technology, such as fake news, plagiarism, content laundering, clickbait titles, and low-quality content. Primas proprietary Distributed Trusted Content Protocol (DTCP) will bring back trustworthy, high-quality information to the internet, reshaping the value ecosystem of internet content. PST is the smart asset running within the Primas system, representing the tokenization of valuable content. In Primas DAPPs, PST can be earned through the creation and dissemination of original content; in certain scenarios, PST may be consumed or pledged to access more premium content. The entire economic incentive system ensures the broad circulation and balanced supply of PST.

I. Project Introduction

Primas is a high-quality content platform based on the DTCP (Distributed Trusted Content Protocol). Primas uses blockchain technology to ensure the credibility of content, employs an economic incentive system to accelerate the creation and circulation of high-quality content, and through social recommendations, allows readers to see personalized, high-quality content. Traditional internet applications can also quickly leverage the powerful features offered by Primas by integrating via APIs.

Primas is an open ecosystem for content publication, recommendation, and transactions. Primas is committed to changing the existing content market landscape using blockchain and other technologies, solving problems related to identifying, disseminating, and monetizing quality content. Through a decentralized content traceability and filtering mechanism, users can access quality content. A new content value evaluation system ensures that producers of quality content receive direct benefits. Blockchains immutability provides copyright protection to original creators. Decentralized data management also better protects user privacy.

Primas will generate a globally unique digital fingerprint (Primas DNA) for each original work. Primas DNA contains metadata such as author, publication time, and content fingerprint. When we see a piece of information, we can understand who created it and when, who made modifications and when, and what those changes were. This added metadata enhances the value of the information itself and can even influence our judgment of its quality.

Application Scenarios

Primas DNA
Primas generates a globally unique digital fingerprint (Primas DNA) for each original work. Primas DNA contains metadata such as author, publication time, and content fingerprint. When we see a piece of information, we can understand who created it and when, who made modifications and when, and what those changes were. This added metadata enhances the value of the information itself and can even influence our judgment of its quality.

Primas DNA, Smart Contracts, and Blockchain-Based Proof of Existence
Primas DNA ensures that even partially tampered content can be traced back to its source; smart contracts enable automated authorization without human intervention; blockchain-based proof of existence significantly reduces the cost of evidence collection.

Primas Content Value Assessment System and Incentive Mechanism
Primas has established a content value assessment system not dependent on traffic to measure the quality of content, and by rewarding authors of high-quality content with Primas Tokens, it enhances the overall quality of community content.

User Autonomy
On the Primas platform, users can choose communities they are interested in, and all communities are governed by users, ensuring no centralized algorithm controls them. All algorithms related to content display are open-source and transparent, allowing users to participate in optimizing them.

Blockchain Technology Adequately Protects Data Privacy
In the Primas network, all necessary disclosed information, such as authorship and transaction details, is publicly transparent, recorded on the blockchain. Information related to user browsing records and privacy is neither recorded nor uploaded.

Technical Overview

Key logic is implemented using smart contracts on Ethereum, core data is written to the blockchain via smart contracts, and content data is stored in IPFS. A general intermediary layer, the Primas Node, is built atop the public chain to run decentralized crawlers, cache DAPP states, and call external services. Above the Primas Node is the DAPP layer, where other content platforms besides Primas can connect to the Primas ecosystem through the Primas Node.

DTCP Content Protocol
The DTCP protocol aims to build an open, interoperable, and trusted high-quality content ecosystem. DTCP establishes a standard for content metadata, generating an immutable and unlost digital identity for content through blockchain technology, ensuring the authenticity of content metadata (publication time, author identity, etc.). Applications using DTCP can interpret content better based on reliable metadata, make personalized judgments about content quality, and improve content utilization efficiency.

On the basis of a credible content standard, DTCP defines content exchange protocols between applications. Various applications in the content ecosystem—content producers, channels, recommenders, search engines, advertising services, etc.—can use a unified interface for interoperability. Standardized service descriptions make automatic discovery possible, enabling mature applications like large content platforms to conveniently publish their capabilities for others to use, either paid or free. New applications can aggregate resources from multiple parties by automatically discovering and integrating existing service providers, rapidly expanding their own capabilities, accelerating application development, and achieving rapid growth in content and user numbers.

The Primas Node
All data is on-chain, ensuring all data is genuine and unalterable. By resolving blockchain performance bottlenecks through a PoS secondary network, application access is accelerated, supporting large-scale concurrent applications. End-users do not have to wait for block confirmations, achieving a consistent user experience akin to traditional internet usage. At the same time, it significantly reduces blockchain friction costs, minimizing user expenses.

A fully decentralized architecture, through economic incentive systems and node discovery technology, allows anyone to join and exit the Primas node, without terminal user access being affected by the failure of a single Primas Node.

The secondary network is currently connected to Ethereum, supporting massive user usage. Even under extremely congested conditions on Ethereum, users can still use Primas smoothly without any gas fees.

Distributed Eagle Eye System
Primas uses the distributed Eagle Eye system to track the full web dissemination of content, recording it on the blockchain as part of the content rating system. Content publishers can better understand the spread and infringement of their content.

Through economic incentives, along with task scheduling and crawler algorithms, any browser, mobile phone, or personal computer will embed the Eagle Eye system, realizing the most extensive content tracking on the internet.

In the future, through the open DTCP protocol, the distributed Eagle Eye can provide services to all DTCP-compatible applications. By establishing indexes for crawled content based on a unified Metadata standard, the distributed Eagle Eye system will provide robust support for next-generation search engines.

Seamless Integration of Third-Party Platforms and Applications
Primas opens its foundational capabilities through APIs, allowing traditional internet applications to quickly integrate. The technological achievements of the Primas Node in accelerating blockchain access and reducing blockchain transaction fees can be directly utilized by third-party applications. Third-party applications do not need to understand blockchain technology to immediately join the Primas ecosystem and gain powerful capabilities such as content traceability, social recommendations, and economic incentive systems.
