Who Are The Founders of The Permission Token? 

The Permission Token was founded by Charles Silver, a veteran entrepreneur with a proven track record of growing successful businesses. A visionary in the dot-com era, Charles founded RealAge, a pioneer in using big data to connect advertisers and consumers on a permission basis. He grew RealAge to tens of millions of users and led the company to its acquisition by media giant Hearst. In addition to founding Permission.io, Charles co-founded Reality Shares, a SEC-registered investment adviser with 5 publicly traded ETFs, including the first publicly traded blockchain ETF, and Blockforce Capital, a multi-strategy digital assets hedge fund.   

The Permission team consists of more than 30 employees, board members, and strategic advisors.  

What Makes Permission Unique? 

Although many crypto projects tout data empowerment, most limit users’ ability to benefit from their data to a specific browser or application. Permission’s platform is constructed to help users securely grant permission and earn from their data across multiple channels and contexts. The token  is simple-to-use with use cases that are straightforward and transparent and that will evolve as the project’s network and permission-based economy matures.  

Currently, users earn ASK by securely sharing their data and opting in to receive relevant ads and content. The experience is delivered primarily viathrough “Permission Ads,” the project’s patent-pending, crypto-enabled advertising platform, which enables Advertisers to “ASK Permission” and reward users for consenting to share data. The vision for ASK is that users will put their data to work for their own benefit in a way that will easily blend into their daily lives. 

Fundamental to this vision is Permission’s patented technology, which allows data stored in silos and applications to be integrated so that individuals can link and monetize their social, search, shopping data, any data that is stored in any database, to be queried as a single logical data store.  

This is a huge differentiator because it enables users to truly take back ownership of their data so they can earn from it, putting individuals at the center of the data economy.   

Permission launched the Permission Platform in August, 2020, and has achieved significant early growth, with ASK now held by over 700,000 unique wallets.
