Presearch - Building a sustainable decentralized search platform

Colin Pape is the founder of Presearch, a community-powered, decentralized search engine that provides better search results while protecting privacy and rewarding users with crypto when they search. Why you should listen: Colin says the best way to compete with Google is to build a framework that enables people from all over the world to collaborate on an open and decentralized search engine. Presearch is preparing to release its first decentralized technology – a new search engine experience that runs on node servers operated by Presearch community members. The new Presearch Engine offers results that are as good as the world's top search engines. It also provides an additional layer of data through community packages which makes those results even better. For example, you can search Presearch for "Bitcoin" to see what the crypto package looks like. Over time, there will be additional results provided by a user-curated supplementary index. Key takeaway: Presearch is dedicated to creating significant value for marketers who want to reach Presearch users. Advertisers can stake their PRE to a keyword, and whichever advertiser stakes the most tokens will have its ads displayed when a user searches on the term selected. Advertisers confer the most external value on PRE, so their success is important to the ecosystem.
