We are living in an ‘image culture’ which is being newly created through ongoing social media activities. Standing in a ‘’isual superiority z one’, we share our perspectives with others through pictures and gifs rather than speech or words.
The PIBBLE project starts with such popular images. PIBBLE is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency that brings together image creators and consumers, compensating them for the work they create, use and enjoy. The types of images that the PIBBLE project handles are not only a picture or a stock image, but also various kinds of images such as cartoons, characters, illustrations, graphics, pictures of entertainers (including singers, actors, etc.) and video stills.
The users in the PIBBLE project are comprised mostly of ordinary individuals that do not have clear concepts of portrait rights, but it also includes entertainer groups who have a difficult time exercising their portrait rights online, expert groups who had been managing business through images, as well as indie groups who have had little opportunity to have their creations valued.
Creators in the PIBBLE Project will receive rightful rewards for their work, and this will be done through building a blockchain based image ecosystem.
This will be achieved by creating a community ecosystem where anyone can participate and rewards users as they participate, and by providing blockchain-based social image market to users. Furthermore, to experts, PIBBLE will serve as a platform that protects their rights to creative works and effectively connects image sellers and consumers. The PIBBLE Project’s services uses blockchain technology and individual techniques and image tracking system to limit the image’s unauthorized use and let users to send images consensually. Through these methods, the PIBBLE project will develop into a blockchain based image ecosystem that merges the social media market, image market and all user bases.
