Ara is a new content protocol that offers decentralized rewards and distribution. It leverages a peer-to-peer file system to deliver content through a distributed network. The blockchain is used to store license transactions for each file, and a decentralized identity is assigned to each user and piece of content to ensure data security without any central authority. Ara allows any device worldwide to contribute its unused processing, storage, and bandwidth capacity, effectively becoming part of a global supercomputer, database, and delivery network.
