hubii

hubii started life as a successful content aggregator, working with some of the world’s largest telcos and phone manufacturers to distribute local news from hundreds of media outlets. Through our partnerships with Telenor, TCL Alcatel and Panasonic, we saw that the current model of content production, distribution and monetisation is fundamentally broken. In 2017 we moved to incorporate blockchain technology into our existing business, with the intention to build a fairer platform for creators, distributors and consumers. Our plan required a blockchain that could handle thousands of transactions each second, with minimal latency and low fees. When we realised that the proposed scaling solutions for Ethereum were unable to meet our needs, we decided to build our own: nahmii, the first commercially-focused Ethereum scaling solution. nahmii architecture offers unprecedented scalability to any blockchain with sufficiently advanced scripting. Built initially on Ethereum, it has been designed from the ground up for commercial use, with applications far beyond content distribution. nahmii brings blockchain-level security to payments, trading, IoT, gaming and countless other use cases; it leverages our years of experience in consumer technology to bring instant settlement, low latency transactions and competitive and predictable fees to the blockchain ecosystem. These attributes are essential to take blockchain technologies to the next level. This pivot to nahmii complements our original vision for content distribution; using nahmii we are building an ecosystem of products across the whole lifecycle of digital assets: funding, sharing, verification, distribution and monetisation.
