Horyzon - the first crowdmapping platform on the blockchain

We (the Horyzon team) are glad to announce the launch of the Horyzon website. Here we explain the launch of the Horyzon platform, which is basically the tool to capture location specific and non-specific data, mass data gathering will be the future so we think we can make the difference here.

Crowmapping is generally a lot of people working together to raise as much data as possible, this is perfect for Research & Development sector, a billion dollar industry.

Concept

Horyzon is a decentralized crowd mapping platform which will combine skills of individual people to gather as much information as possible about a certain topic. Horyzon will be the first truly decentralized crowd mapping tool, creating a global market for data gathering. This paper presents the building blocks of the platform: the Ethereum smart contracts together with the crowd mapping logic and rewarding system. Finally we expound an 18 months roadmap for launching and scaling the platform, a detailed specification of the ZON token, which will play an enormous role in the Horyzon development.

Team

For the moment our team only exists of 2 developers, however we feel comfortable we are going to successfully implement our project, since the two of us are doing projects together for more than 5 years and believe in a small but dedicated team. However we are going to add developers, analysts and functionals (and some tester) after the ICO, the number of these people will be dependant on the amount of ETH raised. If the ICO is not succesfully we are going to launch are project anyway, however at a much smaller pace, therefore we are really excited about our new project.
