Twitter twitter.com/DPRating The project has received investments from many institutions. The founder of Telegram t.me/DPRating Fenbushi Capital, Shen Bo, is a participant in the project as a strategic advisor and Seed round investor. Wechat In the content industry, creators often don t have control over their own content. Contentbox has a solution for this. They attempt to coordinate the interests of many parties with a token incentive ecosystem by which any creator can gain value from their creation if users are encouraged to share high quality content and lower the barrier of intellectual right protection. ContentBox s management team is comprised of people from many famous enterprises like Google and Facebook. Prior to ContentBox, the team developed an already very popular audio content sharing platform called Castbox. Castbox is now the no. 3 application on Google Play with 17.2 million users and over 50 million 2018 . 10 . 11 shared audio files. This is the unique advantage of ContentBox. Contentbox can take advantage of Castbox s successful experience and existing user base. It will have a higher chance of success if deeply integrated with Castbox. The token price depends on how BOX is integrated into Castbox, how the market responds to the new product, and how well they can realize the product. If ContentBox proves to be an App that combines a blockchain incentive system, it s both a booster for true implementation and a downside for long-term development. Another product from the team, Castbox must also confront the risk of their user number dropping. For now, we have seen no other substantial advantages other than the existing user base of Castbox. Its long-term development space is small.

Github code is not open sourced. Their official channel has said that the code will likely be open at the end of 2018 or early 2019.

A. Project Fundamental
Overview
ContentBox positions itself in the content distribution industry, mostly audio/video content. It consists of a safe multiparty payment system BOX Payout (a public chain), a gross platform identity system BOX Passport, and BOX Unpack, which is a suite of management tools for independent publishers and an integrated blockchain user interface for developers. Feature: BOX Payout + Smart contract + Box Passpot BOX Payout is not a blockchain that supports a general purpose Turing-complete virtual machine. The main purpose of the BOX Payout blockchain is to support fast and secure conditional transactions. In a PoNE (Proof of Network Effect ) + PoS Proof of Stake consensus, the probability of being selected as a validator will depend on the amount of the validator s deposit, as well as the content creation and consumption of that particular node. Significant advantages of this consensus mechanism include security, reduced risk of centralization, and energy efficiency. Transaction throughput will also be improved. Crypto Contracts are a kind of smart contract that can be translated into a series of crypto primitives. Developers can also consider them as off-chain smart contracts. It enables interaction with the blockchain without using EVM, a concept first introduced by Blockstream scientist Andrew Poelstra. By using Schnorr signature as a witness, the bulk of transactions can be moved off-chain and leave the blockchain to do what it is really good at: check a multi-signature.
1 DPRating.com BOX Passport is a decentralized interoperable identity service for users. BOX Passport establishes this identity by extending the wallet concept to store personal information, such as reputation, alongside a token account. This identify service is not stored in any application s centralized databases and is inherently decentralized, thus less vulnerable to hacks. It allows users to make frictionless transactions on different applications or websites using one single digital identity.
Summary
ContentBox aims to provide users with a whole set of blockchain supported shared content pools, shared user pools, and a unified payout system. The team has also announced that CastBox and its 17.2 million users are integrated into the ContentBox wallet, becoming the first major partner in the digital audio domain. ContentBox has also made initial cooperation contact with several video platforms, photo sharing communities, and smart hardware companies.
Conclusion
The conflict between independent publishers and content creators is the ownership copyright of creation. On current mainstream platforms, the content producers have made great contributions but the economic reward is rather little. Meanwhile different platforms also struggle in the fierce copyright competition. ContentBox s solution aligns interests of different parties with a token. The success and users of CastBox set a good foundation for the integration of CastBox and ContentBox. This is a unique advantage over other similar projects.

A. Community and Popularity
Overview
According to Google Trends, ContentBox's search index reached above 100 on June 24 and June 30, 2018. Its highest search popularity was in the United States and Spain. ContentBox cannot be found on the WeChat Index.
ContentBox has 9,739 followers on Twitter and 82,561 members in its Telegram group, but the interactivity is low. In the last report, we mentioned that PR activities are regularly held. However in the last month, ContentBox did not hold any PR events.

Conclusion
The initial listing on Huobi was indeed eye-catching, but the price and popularity were partly dragged down by the overall market sentiment. PR events also decreased compared to the pre-listing phase.
