What is Presearch?

https://www.presearch.org/signup?rid=514462

Presearch is a search engine based on blockchain technology and sees itself as an open, decentralized search engine that rewards community members with Presearch Tokens for their usage, contribution to, and promotion of the platform.

It launched as a closed beta on the 15th November 2017 for a limited audience and opened up for a public beta on 9th April 2018. The closed beta had an estimated 15 000 users join by word of mouth and the open beta aims for 100,000 users by end of May 2018.

Presearch rewards community members with Presearch Tokens for their usage, contribution to, and promotion of the platform.

In a world where one company controls 77% of all searches, influencing trillions of dollars in spending, shaping perceptions and effectively acting as the primary gatekeeper to the Internet, a new, open and community-driven search engine is a necessity.

Presearch has an innovative go-to-market strategy to target the most frequent searchers – web workers – and gain early adoption, on their way to releasing future versions of the open source platform that will utilize a blockchain-based indexing that is added by community curation.
