‘NEXT Value’
aims to create a new paradigm in the digital data industry.

Summary

Currently, digital data lacks an original version, allowing unrestricted duplication and transmission, making it difficult to clearly distinguish copyrights and ownership. Additionally, data sold by companies is stored on centralized servers owned by those companies, which means it can be modified or deleted at any time. Due to characteristics such as duplication, transmission, modification by companies, lack of physical presence, and the inability to trade personally, it is challenging to claim ownership, leaving the content sales market vulnerable. Blueprints, product designs, and other data created by individuals are susceptible to tampering and duplication, making it very difficult to prove copyrights until registration (patents/utility models), design registration, or paper publication. These processes also require significant time and costs.

What if digital data had an original version and a physical presence that ensured complete personal ownership and was immune to tampering? Immediate, low-cost copyright proof would be possible. Ownership of physical data would enable personal trading, freeing data from duplication and transmission constraints. This would bring a new era where digital data is given new value.

‘NEXT Value’ is developing the ‘Data Chain Mainnet’, which enables complete data ownership by storing digital data on decentralized nodes to make tampering impossible. By leveraging blockchain technology, data is distributed across multiple nodes, ensuring immutability. Through Decentralized Identifiers (DID), only the rightful owner has access rights.

The content data I purchase can be completely owned by me, and the content I own can be personally traded and inherited.

For every personal transaction, royalties are transparently and permanently paid to the original creator via smart contracts. This significantly contributes to activating the ecosystem by enabling creators to engage in richer creative activities.

‘NEXT Value’ develops and operates the Contents Chain and runs an exclusive B2C and C2C marketplace to facilitate royalty payments for creators. This creates a 'circular ecosystem' where creators can engage in high-quality creative work, and owners are given new value.

Structure

Data Chain Mainnet(Private chain)

DID chain

Chain Based on Hyperledger Indy
Original Content Owner’s standards and information
Criteria and Information for Content Ownership(Clearly defined standards and detailed metadata to establish and verify content ownership.)
Distributed Data Management via Data Nodes
Management of DRM (Copyright Proof) Information
Prevention of Unauthorized Content Registration through a Private Chain

Decentralized -data node

We are building the world’s first decentralized content chain. (Content is stored securely across distributed nodes)
Only content from contracted companies can be stored preventing the distribution of illegal content.
The decentralized nodes are not owned by us. (Operated by governance partners)
Governance includes content companies, storage providers, and foundation partners.
This structure aligns with standard Web3 project rules.
Governance partners stake tokens to operate nodes. They are rewarded for their contributions to the node operations.
Governance partners work together to grow the value of staked tokens. Their active participation ensures the ecosystem's growth and success.

Wallet & Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP)

Customers do not need any prior knowledge of blockchain or Web3.Wallet creation/management and wallet-based sign-ups are not required. Users can sign up and log in using their existing social accounts and enjoy the service just like any Web2 platform.

Wallet

Easy Sign-Up with Social Login and Automatic Wallet Creation
No Need for a Separate Personal Wallet. Private keys, signed with a password, are encrypted and securely managed on the server (similar to Kakao Klip and LINE).
Passwords Can Be Reset Through Identity Verification
Compliance with Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) Regulations
Most Content Users Are Web2 Users. Creating and managing personal wallets is extremely challenging for these users.

VASP

Compliance with Government Guidelines for Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) Registration
Providing Transparent and Reliable Services
Most Businesses Struggle to Meet VASP Guidelines and Are Unable to Operate
Lack of Virtual Asset Service Provider Exchanges for Content Transactions
Market Leadership Through VASP Registration and Management

B2C, C2C Market

B2C Market

Marketplace for companies to sell their content directly to customers.
Operates as a closed market with legitimate copyrights, established through contracts with corporate clients.
Platform operates with a 30% commission fee on sales.
Offers various sales methods, including auctions and fixed-price transactions.
Supports point-based payments (rechargeable via credit cards, tokens, prepaid cards, and more).

C2C Market

A peer-to-peer marketplace for trading NFTs as transaction units.
Transaction details are recorded in the DID, and NFT ownership information is stored within the DID.
The platform charges a 10% transaction fee, with 5% allocated as royalties for content creators.
Operates as an exclusive marketplace to ensure creator royalties, supporting one-on-one personal transactions.
Supports point-based payments (rechargeable via credit cards, tokens, prepaid cards, and more).

STAR, INFLUENCER Contents

STAR Contents

Sell digital content from global star celebrities in its original form, such as music videos, photos, soundtracks, shorts and more.
Sold content can be traded on a peer-to-peer basis.
First-ever B2B model: Pay creators a perpetual 5% royalty automatically for each personal transaction.
Limitations of NFTs in existing markets include the lack of original data, as they are open as metadata accessible to anyone, and the fact that company-owned data can be modified or tampered with at any time, rendering personal transactions impossible.

INFLUENCER Contents

Influencer Fan Economy: Influencers’ income is currently limited to advertisements and shopping-related activities, but selling content provides a new revenue stream by leveraging fan engagement.
Sold content can be traded on a peer-to-peer basis.
First-ever B2B model: Automatically pay creators a perpetual 5% royalty for each personal transaction.

Digital Art

Market Challenges

Despite the boundless possibilities of digital art creation, including videos, drawings, and photos, the growth of the industry is hindered by issues related to duplication and transmission of data.
Ownership and originality cannot be established due to duplication and transmission of digital content.
The lack of a concept of "originality" makes it difficult to distinguish between copyright and ownership.
These limitations restrict the sales of digital works and prevent their value from being recognized.
In the case of existing NFTs, the absence of original data leads to problems such as metadata being editable or accessible to anyone.

Soulutions

Digital works are registered on the tamper-proof Data Chain Mainnet, ensuring that data cannot be altered.
The existence of original data establishes clear distinctions between copyright and ownership, allowing for personal transactions.
Content is freed from the limitations of duplication and transmission, creating new value for the digital content market.
Creators receive perpetual 5% royalties for personal transactions, with ownership transferable to subsequent buyers.
Owners can utilize works for commercial purposes, secondary creations, and other copyright extensions.
Works with similar content are blocked from being duplicated through validation and registration processes.

Digital Book

ebook Market

The global eBook market in 2022 was valued at 17.69 billion USD (13.7% share of the overall publishing market, with paper books at 86.3%). The market continues to grow steadily, while paper book sales decline.
The global total used book market (including paper books and digital) is expected to reach 241 billion USD by 2022 (annual growth rate of 6%), with sustained growth in the U.S. and U.K., where most consumers prefer used books over new ones.
The Korean eBook market recorded sales of 961 million USD in 2022 (an 8% increase from 1.16 trillion KRW in 2021), showing consistent growth.
Domestic bookstores rank in the top four in operating profits compared to leading publishers, with the representative bookstore earning 13 million USD, outperforming many publishers.
During joint publishing, 85.3% of costs are borne by authors (for non-fiction, genre novels, children’s books, etc.), resulting in minimal revenue distribution.
Authors receive only 53.3% of royalties, with 47.2% not covering incurred costs, due to fixed fees like formatting and eBook conversion.

Challenges in the Book Market

Are there too many unused books that could be reused or resold?
Can I not resell eBooks that I’ve purchased? (Most accounts on the market are non-transferable.) Many books inherited from my father remain unusable.
Korea’s largest bookstore dominates the market, yet authors often have to wait up to 10 months to receive their royalties.
Non-transparent revenue sharing leads to distrust among writers.

Proposed Soulutions

The Data Chain Mainnet enables personal ownership and trading of books.
Blockchain technology ensures full transparency within transactions.
For every trade, royalties and publishing fees are automatically paid to authors and publishers through smart contracts.
Additional features include online signing sessions, personalized gift messages, a bulletin board for book purchases, and direct community engagement.
