About Photochain
Photochain developing the Photochain DApp on the Ethereum blockchain. Additionally, Photochain also uses computer vision (machine learning) to fulfill the specific technical requirements of stock photography. The Photochain DApp is a platform on which artists have the opportunity to sell their work to a broad audience at a price they themselves set, and where sellers are also fully and solely liable for the works they sell themselves. The Photochain Team does not have any liability or responsibility for illegal behaviours of the sellers. The artist is responsible for the legality of the works they are selling and is held fully accountable for any illegal activity. However, Photochain will uphold users copyright protection, by preventing any unauthorised sale of photography.
Photochain has clear advantages for contributors and customers. Contributors at Photochain benefit from an extremely low fee – only 5% of the selling price. Keeping 95% of the final sale price allows contributors to offer their work cheaper. Consequently, the market becomes more affordable for customers. This type of fair market not only benefits the users but should benefit the photography industry as a whole, as the possibility of increased income incentives contributors to perform better. These profound market changes are only made possible by using block-chain technology, Smart Contracts, machine learning and Photochain’s own user community. Most of the processes become automated and decentralized, significantly reducing costs of platform governance. It’s unavoidable that more and more stock photography contributors and customers will prefer to use Photochain.
Our native blockchain DApp
- Security ==> Blockchain allows fully secure and verifiable transactions for both buyers and sellers. You can trust your works are safe.

- Easy Onboarding A simple identity verification for all photographers. Unlike with traditional photo stocks, a user can be actively selling work in minutes
- Digital Copyright Chain Our decentralized database ensures each uploaded photo is permanently linked to its owner. This link cannot be changed removed or manipulated in any way.

How Do Photochain Works?
The Photochain Main Smart Contract has been developed to ensure everything runs smoothly during the trading process. This Smart Contract is a template. A Smart Contract specific to the transaction is generated from this template when a purchase is made. Ethereum is a p2p network that provides a platform for implementing Smart Contracts and is based on its own public blockchain. Ethereum uses the cryptocurrency Ether as a means of payment for the computing power that participants provide to the distributed system. The Smart Contracts are written in the programming language Solidity which has been specifically developed for Ethereum.
Photochain revolutionizes the status quo of stock photography. It is a decentralized, peer-to-peer stock photography platform on blockchain with fair conditions, attractive incentivation mechanisms, lowest fees in the market and full control over the content, price and license type for the photographer. On the IPFS Photochain database, each uploaded photo is linked to a photographer through a blockchain transaction. This link cannot be removed or manipulated in any way. Photochain is in the pole position and ready to disrupt the monopolized stock photography industry with a great, experienced and influential team and board of advisors.
The Photochain Specific Smart Contract is generated from the Main Smart Contract. The structure of the company’s Specific Smart Contract can be clarified by the following description: When purchasing the work, the buyer carries out a commercial transaction with the seller. The important data for the deal, such as the price, the description, and the seller’s name, are all stored in this Smart Contract. The seller is then asked to transfer the amount from his wallet in PHT. The Smart Contract will keep the transferred amount until the buyer has received the work they purchased. The work will appear in the Buyer module and is available for download. This ensures both parties have fulfilled their part. The transaction is stored on the Ethereum blockchain.
