What Is Permission Coin (ASK)?

Permission Coin (ASK) is a platform used to power a global digital ad system built on Permission blockchain. Using the Permission Coin platform, users can grant permission and monetize their data across the web. The Permission blockchain is based on Ethereum proof-of-authority (PoA) consensus mechanisms. In the proof-of-authority model, the block becomes the validators. Besides, the platform aims to offer a solution to the significant problems of Web 2.0. 

In the current era of online up-gradation, the internet has a global tech boom. This boom has resulted in an opportunity for advertisers to use targeted advertising. While doing so, advertisers need first-party data, which can be obtained only by permission to engage. The first-party data is information about the customers collected and owned by the company. Due to the poor standard of interrupted and inadequate media, both individuals and advertisers are tired, resulting in trust issues among the parties and inhibiting engagement.
