About 21e8 Limited

21e8 is pioneering an ecosystem of computational data markets - competitive systems that combine real-time content creation with distributed data exchange. We designed the first universal price system for digital information - a design pattern that encodes context and value into canonical identifiers of data - to replace ad-based ranking and recommender systems like those run by Google and Facebook. By combining information content and attention with proof-of-work, 21e8 opens the potential for true information supply chains for software, media and more.
