Project Name
Owning and monetising adult content on chain
Project Description
A user-generated, human-curated social sex video-sharing platform, celebrating real sex as a counterpoint to porn, with the aim of socializing sex – making it easier for everyone to talk about, in order to promote good sexual values and good sexual behavior.
Final Product
We’re building a pro-sex, pro-porn user-generated, human-curated social sex video-sharing platform, a counterpoint to porn, with the aim of socializing sex – making it easier for everyone to talk about, in order to promote good sexual values and good sexual behavior. We’re what Facebook and Instagram would be if they allowed everyone to socially sexually self-identify and self-express (which sadly, they don’t).
We are layering on blockchain payment thereby getting the advantages it provides which include simplicity, low fees, security, privacy, and greater control of the content.
Our model allows the buyers to have ownership of their favorite creator content as a digital token when minted, which they can later sell or allow other members access.
Xdata will be a web-based app www.xdata.io with a dedicated platform and cross-platform apps on App Store, and Playstore.

Proposal One Liner
A user-generated, human-curated social sex video-sharing platform, celebrating real sex as a counterpoint to porn, with the aim of socializing sex – making it easier for everyone to talk about, in order to promote good sexual values and good sexual behavior.
Proposal Description
Dealing with censorship is gut-wrenching for the erotic and porn industry content creators, adult creators historically have had problems with censorship, many mainstream payment processors such as PayPal have refused to process transactions from adult businesses, in the process freezing many sex workers’ funds. Sexual content creators have also struggled to maintain a presence on large platforms like Instagram, where they are often subject to shadow-banning and stringent content guidelines. NFT is a way to diversify their revenue streams while simultaneously ensuring their content is not removed from the blockchain but the other problem is that, while for example OpenSea recently allow the upload of sexual contents, there’s little work done on age verification protocols to ensure that creators selling nude or lewd NFTs are of age.
There are many negative images about sex and bro culture generally in the world, we thought it was worth offering something that’s more affirmative and sex-positive. After all, sex itself isn’t bad—sexual discrimination, harassment, and shaming are.

Value Add Criteria
Usage of Ocean:
We will fork the Ocean marketplace to allow an exchange of value. Been able to allow reusability of the recorded sex educational videos and with the advantage of privacy, security, and data ownership.
Viability:
This is a valid problem and area of concern as it is an integral part of life. The chances of success we believe are high as we will drive adoption, looking at related sites like pornhub, they drive a lot of traffic, but with our model, we push sex education not in the concept of porn to for knowledge.
Community active-ness:
Though this is our second month in the Ocean space and ecosystem, we will drive in more as we will be needing massive support and feedback from the community.
Aligned with Ocean mission:
Since we are building an application that allows content creators (Adult content) to produce exclusive videos, the creators however can decide on these sharing rights as they deem fit, but the control is now decentralized and they get to control sharing and what happens with their data. This allows for making data available for the people, which is in line with the ocean mission.
