What Is Access Protocol?

About Access Protocol (ACS)?

ACS is a native token of the Access Protocol. This platform provides a solution of monetization for digital content creators. This protocol can be integrated on a website, it will help to set up types of content, such as free and premium. Basically, if this service is on, a user subscribes to a pool of a creator, which contains ACS tokens, then a certain part of data is unlocked. Both participants receive a reward for using the protocol. However, types of the subscription for the creator and a person who wants access, are different. Only the creator possesses ownership of their tokens. At the same time, access to creators’ products has a 2% fee. Accumulated rewards can be used as contributions to other creators.

Where did Access Protocol (ACS) come from?

The founder of the project is Mika Honkasalo, previously he worked with DeFi and investments.

Access Protocol has an interesting idea behind the service. The founders of the company noticed an unbelievable difference between the traffic and revenue of digital content companies and contemporary social media. The popularity and financial opportunities of social media make competition highly unsustainable. This results in several things. First of all, the quality of content on social media decreases. Secondly, big companies support some creators, which gives them an uneven competitive advantage. Finally, it is super hard for other companies that produce digital media to attract new customers and establish monetization. The Access Protocol is meant to reinvent the consumption model of this type of content, as it is stated in the whitepaper.

   It seems to be a very useful and quite easy-to-use instrument, which has an enormously big area for implementation.
2. Benefits

What are the disadvantages of Access Protocol (ACS)?

1. Reward disappearance
   
   As follows from the official Twitter account, the biggest problem is lost rewards. However, it seems that the team is working actively on the solution.
2. Inflationary token
   
   This situation is rather dangerous for those who hope to accumulate some amount of tokens. Since its price is falling at the moment, it influences the value of gained rewards.
