The present invention generally relates to the organization and aggregation of image, video and digital rights data and assets acquired from a plurality of sources that may include a sponsorship or brand element and may also include a stake and/or mining rewards for a user in merchandising its unique data stream. These digital rights may be blockchain ledgered for appropriate reimbursement as non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) in recognition of fair use reporting.

The current internet paradigm, termed Web 2.0, is defined by the prevalence of user-generated content and enhanced end-user interactivity aggregated onto Internet platforms. Accessibility of content is mediated by search engines and software systems managing the process of locating content on the basis of proprietary indexing algorithms. Single users generally maintain the usage of a single preferred search engine despite their expansion in count, including Google, Yahoo, Yandex, Bing or DuckDuckGo. Differences in algorithms lead to distinctions in content discovery, which may impose the use of several alternative search operations or the use of a meta-search engines capable of aggregating multiple sets of results into a singular curated set. Meta-engines tend to differ in terms of breadth of search-engine integrations, with limitations being specific to the chosen meta-search provider: DogPile.com combines results from Google, Yahoo, Ask and Live; Surfwax gathers results from Ask.com, About.com, Entireweb, Business.com, Gigablast, Wisenut, ODP; while Clusty may access Ask.com, Gigablast, Live, NY Times, ODP, Shopzilla and Yahoo. Thus, the limiting factor arises from the implication that vetting headlines impose an additional time commitment.

An additional layer of risk is imposed by the novel patterns of data gathering from the platforms. The increasing user sensitivity to the phenomenon, combined with slow uptake or extension of legal solutions such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), or various sets of local laws and regulations such as California's Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), renders lack of privacy to be an increasingly pivotal determinant of user behavior online especially given the psychological sense of inequity imposed by the profits accrued from the use of the data without tangible rewards given back to the user.

Excessive usage of brand marketing and advertisement tailored on the basis of specialized algorithms able to sift and interpret the data collected from users had been perceived and reported to be generators of distress, discomfort, and forced repetitive cycles as seen in the example of skipping advertisements before a YouTube Video or closing a pop-up banner which loads before an article. Brand retention and relevance in a manner supportive of audience interests is progressively diminished by the user experience.

User Loyalty to a single leading brand search engine may be regarded as a self-imposed limitation to content prioritized by the given algorithms, as a direct implication of their specific set of peculiarities, business interests or internal design priorities and decisions. Considering the extensive yet constantly expanding range of media content created and distributed online, novel manipulation strategies including misinformation campaigns, which have been posing increasingly augmented security risks, as a direct results of the increased comprehension of the vulnerabilities of search algorithms and the mechanics through which they can be abused for propagating messages that appeal to the beliefs and propensities of unaware users. Aggregation of data from multiple sources provides an inherent defense mechanism against this concern, given how unrelated search engines do not experience the same vulnerabilities and are thus able to cancel out malignant or manipulated streams of information.

POPOLOGY facilitates an exclusive user experience built upon custom/self-reported preferences of their preferred social (SM), search (SE) and video on demand (VOD) subscription services. These services usually predicate invasive algorithms to user behaviors (online activities) and tracking for internal data use. POPOLOGY sources these aggregated algorithms into refocused efficiency to the users, designed to enhance the functionality of a customized meta-search engine with the addition of a reward mechanism through which aggregated behaviors (online activities) and preferences can be value-locked via megabyte tracking on the blockchain, essentially monetizing and rewarding a user's data in a democratized manner through the issuance of the POPtoken.

The POPOLOGY concept solves the current lack of rewards for content curation due to the dependence of web 2.0 platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, etc.) on the value curators add in the form of exposure, promotion and viral adoption for the platform's own success, as the value addition is always complementary and potentially higher than the value generated by content creators themselves. Curation is the generalized and primary commodity of online journalizing, posting and reporting. POPOLOGY supports all platforms and enhances the user experience by strengthening curation, and applying a non-competitive, yet still disruptive edge to hub the internet for ease in digital rights tracking. Through the use of Blockchain, digital rights can be preserved and efficiently tracked and considered, thus recovering losses resulting from Digital Rights Piracy. The method involves the use of a private key pair that is platform-specific, with content decryption from digital media work being mediated by the decrypted content key in addition to the curator's requesting fulfillment per the data entry requirements. When content is ledgered on the blockchain these encrypted private keys pair with rewards payments, and reports to copyright holders of content use. Providing an automated backend process for producing Fair Use Reporting, with a calculated crypto rewards payout to all players and fulfilment of copyright owners' digital reports records.

Systems and immersive methods are provided for aggregation and organization of image, video and digital rights data. In an exemplary embodiment, a system for aggregation and organization of media data acquired from a plurality of sources is provided. The system includes a data collection element, a brand commercial (POPmercial) placement for sponsorship element, a stake and mining rewards (Futures In Popular) against placed media element, and a user interface that allows publishing of a unique curated media stream as a first-time-ever NFT BROADCAST, (POPcast). The development environment is built on UNITY GAME ENGINE/WebGL, .Net Core supporting API calls populating into the immersive 360 degree workspace, TFS/SVN (Team foundation server/Subversion (version) control system). TFS is an Application Life-cycle Management solution. SVN is source control only. TFS does source control as well as issue tracking, document management, reporting, continuous integration, virtual labs for testing etc.) and Visual Studio 2019, with a staging environment on AWS Server, and Waves Exchange blockchain/crypto service. The data collection element can be configured to receive rewards for the user in merchandising their online (cross platform) behaviors as well. In this behavior, ‘digital rights’ are appropriately blockchain ledgered for applicable reimbursements and recognition in fair use reporting.

A system for transmission, reception, and accumulation (aggregation) of API key codes is provided to a plurality of image and video content on the internet servicing a media operating system and decentralized digital rights platform invoking fair use reporting and summary reports on metrics of “popular at large”. Defining true popular in the culture of societies driving from unbranded sources. The POPOLOGY POPsphere Aggregator redefines the pinpointing for the intensity of SERPs (aka search engine results pages). These SERPs each source different algorithm controls for the ordering and presentation of content, so users see what is most relevant to the platform. These are the pages that Google and other search engines display when you seek information including Content Newsfeeds (aka RSS). This is concise tidbits of content that are distributed on a regular basis that may include hashtags. Started on Twitter, these are keywords that enable readers to search for information on social media using the same word. POPOLOGY combines these customized corporate algorithms to convert their prowess's to a bundled content pipeline that empowers users as commercial grade broadcasters for more robust popularity metrics and data reports.

In one embodiment the following steps are processed: Identify—Often done entirely by machines, the content is discovered from a variety of established sources based, generally in the form of one or more keywords or phrases. As a result, there's a limited need for human interaction; Select—Choosing the best of the information discovered while eliminating low-quality information and promotions and filters out information that's missing proper attribution or links. This work can be automated; Classify—Place the information into a pre-establish organization such as a list of categories or another method of grouping content; Arrange—Systematically ordering results in an easy-to-understand manner withoutany tailoring based on product, company, or brand and without additional commentary. Common Arrangements are by publication date or alphabetically by author; Publish—Place the aggregated information on your own or another organization's platforms. Additional commentary or annotation isn't needed. It may include some original text or a link or citation to the original source and may also distinguish between the third party and original content.

The User Interface Section embodiment has a 360 degree immersive workspace with over 2400 tiles to view with an x, y, z axis navigation. Populating from one keyword search and masking over 10 aggregated platform APIs into its spherical domain.

The intervention Section embodiment allows search result tiles to be dragged and dropped to the POPcast timeline and ledgers onto the POPblock (blockchain). Each tile placement is rewarded one POPtoken and may be tracked on a smart contract as well. In another embodiment there may be a console inside the POPsphere that may access all dashboards, prompt media viewing, and may serve as a conference monitor while building a POPcast.

The Response Section embodiment may permit tapping on the tiles to view them on the player, drag and drop them into the POPcast Timeline, and/or stake a POPtoken wager for mining additional POPtoken rewards for correctly forecasting increase of the selected media views to the transaction ledger on the blockchain. Users may be able to create, interact, publish, share and add the security of their content with the POPsphere.

Disruptive Characteristics include: (1). Customizable aggregation of search engine results through permitting users to select or create their preferred search algorithm. Potential arises for curating one's own multimedia content based on each individual's specific selected interests, creating a unique experience of content discovery and consumption through the special design of the Application Environment/UI/UX, consisting of a 360° scrollable spherical area lined with 2400 rectangular content windows gathering results from 3 to 25 user selected platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Daily Motion, Youtube, Tic Tok, and Google etc, named and/or color coded on the POPsphere. The size of the content roster presented at-a-glance permits cross-checking of contrasting content, encouraging objective assessments, and diminishing efficiency of misinformation campaigns, as well as entirely eliminating the echo-chamber effect. (2). A user-oriented income generation mechanism is developed by the introduction within POPcast of a section of the application where users can watch and place commercials (POPmercial) at will in the interest of being paid a portion of the cost of advertising in the form of POPtoken. This introduces extensive gamification, customizable data retention and processing that targets commercials based on user-defined interests for brands where interest is already present, in addition to the seamless integration within the consumed curated content collection; and 3. The Stake and “Green Mining” premise introduces additional rewards through collection of data on the subject of “true popular” metrics. This enables a unique implementation of proof-of-work (a form of cryptographic proof in which one party proves to others that a certain amount of a specific computational effort has been expended), and a novel mechanic for mining in app tokens whilst assuring value creation through user-provided weightings. A wagering mechanism is introduced to expand the active earning potential on the basis of predicting future video views on a user-defined time frame and with a user-selecting staking amount. An essential target achieved by the aforementioned mechanics assures a green implementation, devoid of large computational need or energy consumption. The uniquely accessible value of the VIEWS counter participates in the crypto-graphical block generation through as a unique seed contributing as a nonce to the algorithm for consensus generation.

In one embodiment the user may select various search engines, which may include combined search engines, meta-data and social media. The selection may be from cites the user regularly uses so the algorithms for these sites may conform to the users preferences and behaviors developed from the users past searches. A result of such uses the user employs unique algorithms based upon the user's selections, further in view of the past user searches. The user may use the results of such selections to develop a POPcast, or stream of content to fabricate a concept, story, description, and/or trailer that conveys a particular aggregation of content.

In another embodiment, the user may select various brands and commercials to use in and insert as the user deems appropriate into the POPcast. These brands and/or commercials may be ledgered such that the brand owners are compensated by individuals that view the brands and/or commercials including in the form of POPtoken. The combination of the POPcast with the brands and/or commercials creates a seamless integration of curated content that can be monetized.

In yet another embodiment a POPcast may be monetized in the form of wagering POPtokens for the number of views a given POPcast will receive within a specified timespan. As the wagering becomes more aggressive in the form of amount and timespan to achieve a viewership result, the POPOLOGY algorithms may suitably reward the wagerer in view of the circumstances, namely, the more aggressive the wager the higher the reward. The uniquely accessible value of the VIEWS counter participates in the crypto-graphical block generation through as a unique seed contributing as a nonce to the algorithm for consensus generation.

The following is a description of one or more exemplary embodiments of the present invention. POPOLOGY is a digital platform for media rights, intellectual property rights, payments and indexing. Unlike other Social Media platforms, POPOLOGY is designed to reward curators and creators of media content. To do this, POPOLOGY Networks indexes and computes key metrics designed to measure true popular. These key metrics trace the foundations of democracy, following the ideas that percolate, by and for the people. This index is tabulated using the world's most powerful blockchain technology, to create a shared, secure ledger. This is served to everyone using a POPOLOGY web-based app.

Using the POPOLOGY blockchain ledger, the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) can be automatically tallied and securely shared. These KPIs can be used to create digital tokens and coins on the POPOLOGY blockchain ledger. The value of these digital tokens and coins will be backed by the media network's ad revenues and trade velocity. This allows POPOLOGY networks to share ad revenue with the artists, players and curators, in exchange for KPIs.

POPOLOGY Networks minted 2 digital currencies: POPtoken and POPOLOGYcoin. POPtoken can be used with the Prize Wall, a collection of promoted items that can be delivered directly to the consumer. For tax compliance reasons, POPtoken cannot be directly exchanged for fiat currency, like the US dollar.

POPtoken can be exchanged for POPOLOGYcoin. POPOLOGYcoin can be used with the Store Front, a collection of premium promoted items and tickets for live experiences. These items have a value in US dollars, and POPOLOGYcoin exchanges may be subject to gift tax. Unlike POPtoken, POPOLOGYcoin can be exchanged for fiat currency, like the US dollar. This will put POPOLOGYcoin in the same fiat exchange as other crypto to spend on retail sites like Amazon.

A curator can earn tokens by curating content into a POPcast. Simply create a playlist, add brands for POPmercial ad spots, and share with players. When players consume the content and view the POPmercial ad spots, new POPtoken are distributed to the player, the curator, and the copyright holder.

A curator can earn more tokens by predicting the future of popularity of their POPcast. Wager your POPtoken in “Futures in Popular”. If your predicted view count is reached before the prediction time limit, you win POPtoken!

A prospector can earn tokens by predicting the popularity of a piece of media. Simply select a piece of media, see the historical view counts, and make a prediction. Wager your POPtoken in “Futures in Popular”. If the predicted view count is reached before the prediction time limit, you win POPtoken!

A curator can receive rewards from sponsors with their POPcast Sponsor Wall. The top contributing sponsor appears at the top of the Sponsor Wall. Each sponsor's contribution of US dollars is exchanged for a verified spot in the blockchain ledger, known as an NFT (Non-Fungible Token).

This POPtoken goes into the POPcast curator's digital wallet. In exchange, the list of NFT sponsors appears on the Sponsor wall for the POPcast. This kind of entry in the POPOLOGY blockchain ledger showcases the power of smart contracts and digital micro-licenses.

Only an NFT Sponsor gets the option to purchase the creation an officially licensed, limited edition trading card. This trading card has the cover art of their sponsored POPcast. It also contains a Bluetooth App Clip sticker as proof of authenticity. Scan the sticker with your phone and see the NFT Sponsor Wall. In this shared secure ledger, you can see when the Collectible Trading Card was commissioned, who commissioned it to be made, and the total number of officially licensed cards like this one. These large cards are 5.63×3.31″ in size and look great on a table or shelf of collectibles. Extra-Large cards are 24×36″ in size, look great on an award wall, accent table or hallway. The proceeds from these Collected Trading Cards go to the curator of the POPcast. An optional acrylic display case makes a great addition, to showcase your support for the arts.

Looking for a rare limited edition 12″ Vinyl LP to showcase? An NFT Sponsor gets the exclusive option to purchase the creation of an officially licensed, limited edition Vinyl Record of the POPcast. This Vinyl record has the cover art of their sponsored POPcast. The sleeve notes include the artists and track information. The record sleeve itself contains a Bluetooth® App Clip sticker as proof of authenticity. Scan the sticker with your phone and see the NFT Sponsor Wall. In this shared secure ledger, you can see when the Collectible Vinyl Record was commissioned, who commissioned it to be made, and the total number of officially licensed Vinyl Records like this one. An optional acrylic display case makes a beautiful addition to your shelf of collectibles. Showcase your support for the arts. The music royalties for each track, and the curator's royalties are all entries in the POPOLOGY blockchain ledger. What used to be an impractical hassle of phone calls and paper contracts, can now be accomplished with a modern digital smart contract for micro-licensed content. All micro-payments in royalties paid. That's the power of the POPOLOGY blockchain ledger.

Potential arises for curating one's own multimedia content based on each individual's specific selected interests, creating a unique experience of content discovery and consumption through the special design of the Application Environment/UI/UX, consisting of a 3600 scrollable spherical area lined with 2400 rectangular content windows gathering results from 3 to 25 user selected platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Daily Motion, Youtube, TikTok, and Google etc, named the POPsphere. The size of the content roster presented at-a-glance permits cross-checking of contrasting content, encouraging objective assessments, and diminishing efficiency of mis-information campaigns, as well as entirely eliminating the echo-chamber effect.

POPOLOGY user assembles a POPcast which allows our users to now place numerous of their favorite choices in sponsored brand ads (POPmercial) into their curated media stream, which facilitates automated brand retention and relevance statistics as required gamification of this platform, and rewards the viewing audience with POPtoken. A user-oriented income generation mechanism is developed by the introduction within the POPcast as a section of the application where users can watch and place commercials (POPmercial) at will, in the interest of being paid a portion of the cost of advertising in the form of POPtoken. This introduces extensive gamification, customizable data retention and processing that targets commercials based on user-defined interests for brands where interest is already present, in addition to the seamless integration within the consumed curated content collection.

Unique Stake and Mining premise that collects data of true popular metrics and enables proof of work for mining in app tokens to prospect correct audience views in a selected duration of time wagered. We can attribute an energy saving “green” premise with our stake and mining process due to the lack of high-volume energy consumption replaced with the “VIEWS” counter of each platform aggregated that satisfies the needed quantum math required for “Proof of work”. The missing numbers in this blockchain node requirement are the Future views number and duration of time selected to stake (or proof of work) against. We call this “Futures In Popular”, and is truly innovative as a formula for mining our POPtoken. The Stake and “Green Mining” premise introduces additional rewards through collection of data on the subject of “true popular” metrics. This enables a unique implementation of proof-of-work (a form of cryptographic proof in which one party proves to others that a certain amount of a specific computational effort has been expended), and a novel mechanic for mining in app tokens while assuring value creation through user-provided weightings. A wagering mechanism is introduced to expand the active earning potential on the basis of predicting future video views on a user-defined time frame and with a user-selecting staking amount. An essential target achieved by the aforementioned mechanics assures a green implementation, devoid of large computational need or energy consumption. The uniquely accessible value of the VIEWS counter participates in the crypto-graphical block generation through as a unique seed contributing as a nonce to the algorithm for consensus generation.

The embodiment in FIG. 28 presents an exemplary system built in Unity and C++ for the aggregation and integration of social media and search browser memberships to establish a unique meta-search engine to activate the API collection and calls the response from the API to feed keyword search query. 28a is the frontend interface developed in WebGL & UnityGame Engine with the backend code design in AspNetCore and C++. This embodiment (28b) generates a smart contract protocol for assigning 1 POPtoken per media tile (in the POPsphere) placed in the POPcast timeline (28c) issuable into the POPwallet (28d) after publishing. The 3^rdparty blockchain wallet (waves.exchange) is a digital wallet (that allows users to store and manage their custom crypto creation (POPOLOGYcoin, and POPtoken) allotments. Blockchain API tracks and ledgers behaviors of all integrated platforms for the issuance in Smart Contract Protocols to deploy, or mine POPtoken for actions successfully accomplished. Blockchain is a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system. A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and distributed across the entire network of computer systems on the blockchain.

Search API Clusters of 28e make the calls from a keyword search/data type to pull the particular variables (data) during the process when a search request is activated (28e) for a tag keyword/data attribute. (28c) uses the Newtonsoft.Json.Linq for the API will call for namespace that provides classes that are used to implement LINQ to JSON. Classes. Class, Description. Public class, Extensions. i.e (//var client=new RestClient(“https://api.vimeo.com/categories.” which is incorporated herein by this reference) in 28c represents a Keyword/Video or Image search pipeline to pull from specific API servers (28f, 28g, 28,k, 28i, 28n, 28h, 28j, 28l) integrated to provide the data. A Bundled API Algorithm may be established when a user selects (integrates) a specific set of API calls (social platforms) to the POPOLOGY platform and the controllers are activated to generate a unique algorithm request for that data type search and a value data set that can be merchandised commercially.

FIG. 29 is an exemplary system for ingesting and aggregating social platforms allowing for user to create a streaming media curation. In the Overall POPOLOGY USER Flow Description a User may select to sign-up as First Time User or log-in as return member. First Time Users Sign-Up via a series of Splash Screens that collect their “Interests”, Iconic “People”, “Brands” and “Social Media” accounts by popping floating bubbles with the relevant icons inside each. FIG. 6 through 10b (NOTE: Current state user must pop the bubbles of social platforms which triggers the selected API/IP addresses then allows that user activate of those social platforms to allow those platforms to be displayed in configure module (FIG. 14A). In one embodiment User may select 3 or more social search platforms and if only 2 are chosen, a warning of limited return search criteria will prompt user to select one or more APIs or user can't move forward. In another embodiment, User may select 3 or more search engine or social platforms and if the system detects a limited return search criteria a warning of limited search criteria will be displayed allowing User to revise his search platform selection. In yet another embodiment, a tutorial will suggest User to select at least two competing search engines and three social media platforms to form the complete social platform. One embodiment may allow non-subscription users to integrate up to 5 social platforms whereas paid subscription Users may aggregate up to 25 social platforms. FIG. 11 illustrates a User Intake form providing for email, user password, phone number, and chosen Username, User may also select and upload Profile Pic FIG. 12. In an embodiment, a 5 second animation presents User with a tutorial on a Main Dashboard (FIG. 13). Users are required to configure each API integrated to the POPsphere workspace. The User dictates the API tile count within a 2400 total tile count that each API will populate. These API configurations will be denoted by color coded Social Media Continents as tile clusters. If 10 platforms are integrated, Each API may populate 240 tiles, or User may adjust for more content tiles, and less to other APIs. FIG. 14A Current state user must pop the bubbles of social platforms which triggers the selected API/IP addresses and then allows that user to activate those social platforms to allow those platforms to be displayed in configure module FIG. 14C.

User may now visit dashboards, starting with FIG. 15A POPOLOGIST and include personal profile settings, bio, upload content to NFT gallery (FIG. 15B, 15d-15e) and other customizable features.

User may organize settings of APIs (FIG. 18A) and integrate additional APIs or detach APIs (FIG. 18B).

For user to financially benefit and acquire POPtokens and/or POPcoins, the user must turn on the blockchain feature. If the blockchain feature is turned off, the financial benefits are directed to the “house;” the POPOLOGY site owners.

An embodiment may include a User Dashboard for Audience/Friends on platform (FIG. 24A). Users may track Audience size (24a in FIG. 24B), Audience Pay Tally (24c) and standard Invite, Block, and Report user functions (24f).

User may enter the POPsphere workspace to build a POPcast (FIG. 14B) Environment built in Unity Game Engine sourcing MongoDB C # and ASP.net

Inside the POPsphere, User presses control+Space bar for search bar activation, types preferred keyword and press enter (FIG. 2A & FIG. 14B). After keyword population of tiles, user may drag and drop any tile (up to 76) into the POPcast timeline. User may double click on the media brought into the POPcast timeline to view content (in full screen view) to confirm media selection. (3a & 3b in FIG. 3). When User is satisfied with POPcast stream media selections, User may press the SAVE button in the onboard CONSOLE (3e). User may then be prompted to NAME POPcast, SAVE to vault (FIG. 4B) or move on to add POPmercial Sponsors (FIG. 4B).

User may now be able to select POPmercial brand sponsored commercials and insert same into their POPcast from the spots gallery dashboard (FIG. 22A). Each piece of media selected in the POPcast is tabulated by their individual views count from their respective platform, and this value is divided by 20%. This is the “DESIRED POPcast REACH” metric (FIG. 22g) in FIG. 22B. User may select themes from drop down menu of the type of POPmercial they want to include (22b) User can select the DURATION of POPmercial media buy for 4 weeks, 8 weeks, or 12 weeks. (22f) The shorter duration the higher the POPmercial POPtoken payout to the viewing Audience (22e). User may now PUBLISH POPcast when all the Automated POPmercial Count is fulfilled (22j). This capability is driven by the following: “mongoDB.Bson.Serialization.Attributes” calls for the collection of classes of the POPcast® ADbrands which will verify against the Bson type classes under “BsonRepresentation(BsonType.Objectld”.

POPcast AdBrand. User can now earn “PROOF OF WORK” rewards in POPtoken by visiting the “FUTURES IN POPULAR” POPwager dashboard (FIG. 23A). User may select the duration of wager via the drop down calendar module (23f in FIG. 23B) by selecting the start and stop mining dates. User may then input the VALUE of the increase in future views (23g) for the selected content in slider module (23b). User may next press the yellow Smash Button (23j-b) to increase the POPtoken wager value withdrawn from their POPwallet sum (FIG. 23B). When the POPtoken amount is what User wants to wager (23k), User presses confirm. Media Metrics, and Proof of Work is ledgered on the POPblock dashboard as a smart contract (23k in FIG. 23C). User may WAGER only Videos that are in a PUBLISHED POPcast with POPmercial Sponsors attached. “mongoDB.Bson.Serialization.Attributes” calls for the collection of classes of the multi-media sequence which then pulls which will verify against the Bson type classes under “BsonRepresentation(BsonType.Objectld”.

User can also access the POPOLOGY Megaverse 3d Metaverse portal from here as well and tour the landscapes with their 3d Avatar (FIG. 15A).

POPwallet is the digital wallet control for POPtoken and Premium POPOLOGYcoin. (FIG. 20A) Users receive 1000 POPtoken at the beginning of each market day, (20a-1) and is only replenished what they use from the 1000 POPtoken issued on a 24 hour timed clock (20b) One POPOLOGYcoin equals 1000 POPtoken. Additional amounts can be added to each crypto token hold. It relies on Blockchain technology (waves.exchange API) for its rights-managed payouts on Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).

Users have access to HELP SCREEN instructions (FIG. 25A) via navigation in all dashboards, on all screens (FIG. 14k, 15j, 16j, 18c, 19j, 20e, 21h, 22l, 23m, 24h, 26g).

Inner Workings Formula of FIG. 30; Overall description is found in paragraphs [0157-0167, supra.], which is incorporated herein by this reference. The POPOLOGY Networks platform is a Unity Game engine project formatted in WebGL which (28a, 28b, & FIG. 30) delivers an immersive and 3D user interface/workspace providing functions of content population in web-linked digital rights assets from a pluralization of aggregated sources, up to 25 APIs and as little as 3 APIs are required to join the POPOLOGY Networks platform (30k).

This content ingestion process is masked inside of a framework of fetch components designed in ASP.net on AWS servers, that additionally generate URL calls to these aggregated sources and related servers via keyword searches, enabled by IIS Manager (30g).

This system architecture then parses the ingested content into visible media thumbnails to be imported (or populated) onto the POPsphere tiles, and if content is selected by user, the related meta-data is parsed to the appropriate dashboards after being assembled by MONGOdb (30j) and filtered from our meta-Data repository.

When the content is selected to the POPcast timeline from the POPsphere wall, the content is required to render onto our server (28c & 30g) additionally ledgering its platform origin, content title, duration of time of the content, license owner and other relevant data to the meta-data repository (30i).

Each and every behavior is also recorded and tracked onto the blockchain (28d & 30h) for rewards and smart contract assignments visible in the POPblock dashboard.

IIS can serve both standard HTML webpages and dynamic webpages, such as ASP.NET applications and PUP pages.

Descriptor for POPmercial Advertising, The POPOLOGY Networks novel approach to advertisers and our users simultaneously is the gamified and intentional approach to “AD RETENTION”. Most all other social or search engine platforms traditionally clutter pages or insert commercial media in skippable segments or banners for the user to potentially interact. The reality here is brand retention is minimal and has a reputation of being invasive and annoying. POPOLOGY has taken this into consideration and applied a unique gaming premise that reinvents a role in which the user selects the brands they desire to identify supporting in their already curated POPcast media stream. First the user watches numerous spots from selected brands (in our POPmercial Gallery) and fulfill placement of the required number of POPmercial Adverts for the desired POPcast audience reach. The number of spots to select is automated and calculated by the length of the users total curated POPcast stream. Each spot is placed in 15 min intervals. If a POPcast is less than 15 min then a POPmercial spot is calculated to be placed between each tile in the POPcast posted. Minimum 3 tiles make up a POPcast.

These adverts where placed into the POPmercial Gallery by the brand client for user placement at an average rate of $5 per 1,000 eyes. These spots are meta-tagged by our team incorporating various relevant themes, celebrity spokesperson and search criteria by keywords. They also each carry a POPtoken crypto payout reward for each viewing audience member of the total published POPcast which users are presented with. This POPcast is published as a sharable and promoted link in its own media player, with a non-scrubbable and removed fast forward controls, only pause or rewind, due to a custom watch code at the end of each POPcast for viewing audience members to redeem. This placement premise by the user initiates a care for the brands selected, and the viewers are aware of this “RELEVANT TO THE CREATOR” brand loyalty/brand endorsements that additionally reward the viewing audience to watch.

Monetization & Tokenomics Formula: Brand or Corp Direct client submit the spots intended to be accepted as a POPmercial collection, they also select the audience size and the window of time suggested for advertisement to run, (4 weeks, 8 weeks or 12 weeks.
