AbstractBitgene blockchain (Bitgene Blockchain) is committed to adopting innovative technology on

blockchain system to associate “digital gene” which is imperceptible but recognizable via the computer program with digital content, which will realize identification, transaction and advertisement distribution of digital content online(internet, mobile internet) and offline(multi screen, print) .

Blockchain technology has a transformative application prospect in the fields of digital rights protection and digital asset management, but most of the actual use of digital content is not on the blockchain, the hash value of the identity of the blockchain is often changed when the digital content is used outside the blockchain, thus, it is impossible to associate the same content in the actual application scenario within and outside the blockchain. Bit gene is committed to solving this problem, even if the pirates take offensive actions such as screen capture, cutting, compression, modification to the protected content they can still be traced back, Bitgene technology integrates blockchain with digital content to create a safe and highly effective digital content copyright protection system and together with ecosystem partners to build a decentralized application development platform vertical to the entire lifecycle of digital content. Through technological innovation to make data tamperproof, Bitgene makes copyrighted digital content a digital asset that can be quantified, transferred, traded, and added in value, helping content creators achieve truly effective copyright protection, content tracing, and content monetization. Bitgene's application scenarios also include copyright recognition and advertisement promotion of offline print advertisements, magazines, and other printed images, and authentication of products.

Bitgene blockchain is based on the highly efficient blockchain architecture, applying information hiding, digital fingerprinting, cryptography, AI content recognition, machine learning, data mining and other technologies to achieve copyright content identification, authentication, transaction, tracing, and interactive marketing.

�1. The mechanism of Bitgene

1.1.How Bitgene is embedded in digital contents

Bitgene is based on information hiding technology to implant “digital gene” into digital content, the implanted information is integrated together with digital content and imperceptible ,the original digital content is not changing, there are extremely rich application scenarios.

1.2. How does Bitgene protect digital content copyright using the technology of blockchain.

The features of decentralization, tamperproof and trustworthiness of blockchain provide a new technical framework for solving copyright protection problems of centralized copyright

�5

�certification,incomplete transaction records and the credibility of certification. But the main obstacle of popularization of blockchain copyright protection solutions is that the hash value of digital content often changes when digital content is disseminated and used outside the chain, causing the problem that the ownership of the digital conent can’t be determined.

Bitgene combines the technologies of digital gene and blockchain to associate digital gene based on blockchain technology with digital content, usering in a new era for blockchain based copyright protection creates a more secure, closed - loop copyright protection, transaction, and tracing solution.

1.3.How to identify the digital gene in digital content

Bitgene provides a variety of convenient ways to identify digital gene in digital content, through websites, APPs, desktop clients, browser plug-ins, API/SDKs and other ways.

1.4.Empowerment for digital contentDigital gene technology empowers digital content and has rich application scenarios in digital

content copyright protection, tracing, and interactive marketing. Taking interactive marketing as an example, the digital interactive advertisements based on digital gene technology can be displayed and

�6

�disseminated widely with good user interaction and quick access to target customers to enhance the capabilities to acquire new customers.

2. Blockchain and digital content

2.1.The challenge of blockchain in the field of digital content application

Blockchain technology is a brand new distributed infrastructure and computing paradigm which uses blockchain data structures to verify and store data, distributed node consensus algorithms to generate and update data, cryptographic methods to secure data transmission and access, and smart contract composed of automatic scripting codes to program and manipulate data.

Blockchain technology is characterized by decentralization, trustworthiness, scalability, anonymization, security, and reliability. Blockchain 2.0, represented by technologies such as smart contracts, distributed applications (Dapp), and virtual machines, greatly reduces resource consumption and makes blockchain development easier.

• Blockchain identity of digital contentsThe complete industrial chain of digital asset generation, storage and transaction has been formed

based on the technical characteristics of blockchain, and the application of blockchain is also moving from digital assets to more extensive digital content. Blockchain can record the hash value of the digital content to verify integrity of digital content, but in practical application, the hash value of digital content can easily change, even a slight change will cut off the link between the digital content and trusted blockchain records, causing the blockchain application of digital content to fail to form a closed loop in the actual scenario.

Bitgene blockchain is committed to changing this situation, Bitgene blockchain uses technologies like information hiding etc to associate imperceptible blockchain based digital gene with digital content ,providing an open public chain platform that can support a wide range of application scenarios ,and provides digital content copyright protection and trading services based on Bitgene blockchain as the underlying foundation of digital content blockchain applications to provide technical support for high level blockchain development.

•   The mode of the digital content serviceTraditional business paradigm often can't directly adapt to the topology structure of decentralized

blockchain, which requires new adaptive topological tools in the combination of digital content management methods based on centralized architecture in real world with blockchain.

Bitgene blockchain innovates in the blockchain virtual organization and collaboration mechanism to support a wider range of business scenarios, and help more industries to implement a decentralized, secure, and efficient digital content blockchain business system.

�3. Digital content industry background

3.1.Digital content & Digital Economy

The concept of "Digital Content Industry" was first proposed in the Western Conference of the Seven Countries in 1995. In 2005, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) believed that the economy was moving from tangible products manufacturing to high value intangible goods production.

The global digital economy is booming unprecedentedly. According to the “China Digital Economy Development White Paper (2017)”, the US’s digital economy has reached US $10.2 trillion, accounting for 56.9% of GDP, and the UK’s digital economy has reached US $1.4 trillion, accounting for more than 48.4% of GDP, and the digital economy of Japan has reached 2.0 trillion US dollars, accounting for more than 47.5% of GDP. In 2016, China’s total digital economy reached 22.6 trillion yuan, accounting for more than 30% of GDP ,a nominal increase of nearly 19% year-on-year. The digital economy has become the core driving force for economic growth in recent years. It is estimated that by 2020, China's digital economy will exceed 32 trillion yuan.

3.2.The Digital Content industry scale

In recent years, with the application of new technology, digital content related industries have been developing rapidly. According to PWC "global entertainment and media industry outlook 2015-2019"

report, the compound annual growth rate of digital rights will reach 11.87% in 2014-2019, higher than the non-digital publishing market growth rate of 3.86%, in 2019, the penetration rate of digital publishing is expected to reach 32.09%, and the market size will reach 462.1 billion US dollar.

In China, the gross output value of the digital content industry in 2016 (including IP copyright trading and authorized derivatives) was 572.085 billion yuan, which was 29.9% higher than that in 2015 (Tencent Research Institute). The government also proposed in the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Strategic Emerging Industries Development” that by 2020, the digital creative industry

�8

�development pattern featuring cultural leadership, advanced technology and complete industry chain needs to be developed, the output value of related industry will reach 8 trillion yuan.

With the development of digital content industry, users have moved from the passive audience role of PGC Professional Generated Content to the forefront. In the era of "User-generated Content" and "Professional User-generated Content" users’ deep involvement in content creation and even as an occupation("occupationally-generated content" (OGC)) has gradually become the mainstream of the industry. According to statistics from Tencent Research Institute, approximately 140 million users in China became creators of digital content in 2016, 370 million users shared digital content, and 5.1 million users paid for digital content.

3.3.The pain point of copyright protection in the digital content industry

Mobile Internet has driven the rapid development of digital content industry. Digital content has seen new characteristics such as decentralization of distribution channels, personalization of consumption, instant interaction between authors and audiences. The copyright issue of digital content has also received more and more attention. However, the openness and high mobility of the Internet have brought great difficulties to the protection of copyright. The new technologies of Internet piracy emerge endlessly. The application of new technologies such as P2P technology, aggregated reading and network cloud disk makes the difficulty and cost of copyrights protection by the copyright owners continue to increase.

3.3.1.Lack of means of protection, rampant infringement  According to the “2016 China Network Copyright Protection Annual Report” released by the China

Academy of Information and Communication Technology in 2016 online infringement cases mainly were online video infringement, online picture infringement, online music infringement, and online literature infringement.

Because the application scenarios of the dissemination and use of digital content such as picture, audio and video on the Internet are complex it is difficult to use traditional technology to collect evidence

to determine whether or not infringement occurs and pursue accountability. Even if it is authorized to use, violations may also be committed.

3.3.2.Lack of transaction, creator’s rights cannot be guaranteedAccording to people's daily, China's photographic Copyright Association has found 18000

infringement pictures in 300 primary and secondary school textbooks published by a well known publishing house with 3.6 million yuan in royalties. However, the authors of these pictures have never received royalties.

In the era of UGC, massive information is released everyday, because of lack of integrated copyright certification and contact information content users can not determine the source and copyright of digital content, and do not know from whom to purchase the copyright, there lacks an effective communication and transaction channel for buyers to trade easily with the owner of digital content after the copyright of

�9

�the content has been confirmed without having to go through intermediaries which greatly reduces

copyright transaction cost.

3.3.3.Tracing technology outdated, difficult to defend rightsAt present, the main tracing method being used in the digital content industry is to collect evidence,

materials and communicate manually. According to the data, a law firm initiates more than 3000 copyright cases every year, and some companies even need to invest 70% of their personnel for collection of infringement evidence.

In the era of new media, massive amount of digital content is used everyday by various media from multiple channels with fast circulation. After being processed by pirates, digital content can hardly be traced or protected, seriously affecting the rights of creators.

3.3.4.High cost of rights protection, difficulty in submitting evidence Chen Guomeng, President of the Higher People’s Court of Zhejiang Province, China, stated that

“high cost of rights protection, long cycle, difficulty in submitting evidence, and low compensation have always been the bottleneck restricting the judicial protection of intellectual property rights”. Behind the prosperity of the digital content industry is a large number of infringement and piracy activities. There lacks effective copyright protection for original content, the content value cannot be realized, piracy is difficult to prove, and the rights of copyright owners cannot be guaranteed. This limits the originality and innovation of the content and seriously restricts the healthy development of the digital content industry. The digital content industry requires copyright protection and monetization solutions that adapt to industry development.

4. The drawbacks of existing digital content copyright protection solutions

4.1.Disadvantages of traditional solutions

There are two main applications of traditional digital rights protection solutions.Digital rights management (Digital Rights Management, DRM) is a proprietary system with

encryption and access control that technically prevent illegal copying of digital media, or make copying difficult to certain extent, end users must get authorization before using the digital media. DRM restricts the way content is used, so there is a problem of over protection, which not only restricts the user's usage scenarios, but also is not conducive to the dissemination and benefit of the content.

The Electronic Signature Certificate Solution is an authoritative authentication center in the physical world. Through the identification of digital content and rights holders, combined with technologies such as time stamps and electronic signatures, the digital content is issued with a copyright electronic signature certificate as the copyright proof of the content and the basis of handling the infringement.

Although the electronic signature certificate is a valid legal evidence, it relies on the authoritative third party , and the separation of certificate from digital content cannot provide technical protection for the actual use of copyright, restricting the actual implementation effect of copyright protection.

�10

�4.2.Blockchain based digital copyright protection application

In the field of digital copyright, blockchain projects for the protection of the copyright of pictures, music, and videos are also emerging.For example the United States MineLabs company provides collaborative joint media metadata protocol using blockchain technology to protect copyright of digital pictures and provide encrypted signatures for copyright holders, Metadata protection records have been created for 2 millions of original digital images, and digital libraries in Europe and the United States have become their user base. British musician Imogen Heap used block-chain technology in his single release in 2015, which covered the remuneration, charging, and distribution of songs, saying that the blockchain is like a beacon that records all the information in my songs. Inkchain, Ipchain ,Vechain and other blockchain projects uses blockchain technology to realize management and traceability of copyright and property within the blockchain.

However, most of the actual usage scenarios of digital content are not within the blockchain. When the digital content is used outside the blockchain, the hash value of its blockchain identity will often change, thus it is impossible to associate the same content in the actual application scenario within and outside the blockchain to solve the main issue of protection, dissemination, transaction, tracing of the copyright of digital content whose creators are most concerned about.

5. Associate digital genes with digital content -- Bitgene solution

5.1.Bitgene blockchain

Bitgene blockchain uses digital gene technology to create a real peer to peer digital copyright system so that digital content can be used in practical applications, copyright information in digital content can be identified, and consumers can directly pay and reward the true owners of copyrighted content without going through intermediaries.

Bitgene blockchain built under the guidance of this core concept is a blockchain-based global digital content copyright protection, transaction, and smart advertising distribution platform. The digital content transaction platform has digital media asset registration, authentication, and distribution services. The digital content transaction platform uses information hiding technology to make the blockchain featuring open, transparent, trustworthy, decentralized, traceable, tamperproof characteristics combined seamlessly with digital content. The platform will use a set of automatic trusted system to process, store, and exchange information and assets. The platform will provide a copyright tracing system designed to address the copyright infringement of digital content (pictures, audio, video) in the traditional media, self-media, and online media in the Internet era in order to promote better development of the digital content industry..

Therefore, on the basis of the blockchain and smart contract, we redesigned the digital content copyright protection and transaction system based on it, allowing the costs of the distribution and copyright protection of digital content dropped to a theoretic minimum value. The unique DVOs virtual organization has the characteristics of self-governance, which can achieve the equilibrium of the entire

�11

�ecosystem based on the Nash equilibrium. In this open, fair, democratic, decentralized ecosystem where everyone can participate, we can maximize the income of each digital content producer. Through a good governance mechanism, the whole ecosystem can be adjusted to its full potential.

Through a decentralized transaction model, the system allows digital content producers to define their own payment standards for pictures, audio and video. Each content producer has complete pricing power for his own work, the system has flexible trading methods to reduce the cost of centralized pricing model, and this reduced price allows more people to purchase genuine digital media resources making digital copyright content a digital asset that can be quantified, transferred, traded to help content creators achieve truly effective copyright protection, tracing, and content monetization.

5.2.The solution of Bitgene

5.2.1.Decentralized digital gene copyright certification  Bitgene blockchain uses information hiding technology to associate "digital gene" with digital

content, effectively solving the problem of separation of copyright certification and digital content, and build the decentralized full life cycle copyright management platform for digital content (picture, audio and video etc.)

In the first stage, Bitgene blockchain uses encrypted information hiding technology to embed copyright information invisible to naked eyes into digital pictures. The registration and embedding of the copyright information is completed using the decentralized blockchain network.

Information hiding technology of the Bitgene blockchain can resist cutting, rotation, zooming, compression and other attacks, realizing high mobility and cross-media copyright certification of the digital content to solve the industry pain point of separation of copyright information and digital content.

Bitgene blockchain provides multiple options for digital content copyright certification including dual certification mechanism which are anonymous public consensus nodes and alliance nodes represented by the certification centers in the blockchain system which users can make their selection according to

their business requirements.

5.2.2.Decentralized digital content transaction, tracing, advertisement distributionRegistered copyright pictures can be traded, traced, value-added via advertisements on the

Bitgene blockchain. Bitgene uses smart contracts to quickly match copyright transactions , realize value-added advertising transactions and take penalties for the default and pirated users.

Bitgene blockchain provides many services such as identity authentication and copyright transfer report, copyright dispute arbitration, advertisement distribution system in the application layer, to realize goods / service certification in real business scenarios, demand release, trading, tracing which better meets users’ requirements.

Bitgene blockchain provides identity authentication and arbitration mechanisms in the application layer to support the dispute resolution mechanism for real business entities.

�12

�Bitgene blockchain constructs smart contract mechanisms which is more adaptable to business

scenarios. It is more convenient to build business scenarios for commercial business applications via smart contract templates which conform to real business rules, which greatly simplifies the development investment.

5.2.3.Decentralized platform serviceBitgene is an open platform that supports developers and partners to develop apps and provide

services for the full life cycle of digital content.Bitgene provides a technical framework, APIs, and client-side tools to support developers to develop

components, Dapp, chains,.Bitgene blockchain provides a variety of support systems such as information hiding, digital

fingerprinting, cryptography, content recognition, AI machine learning and data mining etc.

5.2.4.Decentralized user participationBitgene is a fair decentralized platform. All services provided on Bitgene are paid services so that

all the participants can get incentivized.Users can get incentives while protecting, trading, reporting infringement, browsing content

advertisement. Bookkeeper, computing power provider, platform application service provider on Bitgene can all get rewards.

Everyone is a creator, everyone is a consumer, and everyone is a copyright owner on Bitgene.

5.2.5.Application extensionDigital content based on digital gene has a wide range of derivative application scenarios, or

example rich media information hiding in digital content has good application scenarios for entertainment, education, art, e-commerce. Copyright transactions can be extended to a number of financial services, such as insurance, mortgage, and factoring. The decentralized content platform based on bit gene has a variety of vertical industry applications.

5.3.Bitgene's solution advantage

5.3.1.Solving the problem of the copyright ownership of digital content in the actual circulation environment

The existing solutions cannot embed copyright information into digital content. In the actual application scenario because the transmission compression, the adaption compression of different applications and devices, and the offensive modification of the pirates will cause changes in the HASH abstract information of the digital content, leading to unstable foundation for the copyright protection and circulation of the digital content.

As can be seen from the figure, the change of HASH abstract information in actual applications will lead to the failure of the ideal model. Bitgene can resist the impact of these changes and the attacks on digital content extraction, normally extract the copyright information in digital content, and achieve the

�13

�consistency of the information traced within and outside the blockchain, solve the problem of copyright ownership of digital content in the circulation environment.

5.3.2.Solving the problem of digital content unable to be traced backThe existing solutions rely on the HASH information to confirm the identity of the digital content. with

the diversification of transmission channels, digital content may be used at high frequency with many infringements, but copyright owners cannot know the dissemination and usage status of their works. Bitgene can trace the dissemination and usage status of digital content via digital gene, detect infringements in a timely manner, and complete the closed loop of copyright protection processes.

5.3.3.A more secure solution for digital content copyright protectionBitgene is built on the trusted blockchain architecture which is decentralized, tamperproof and

network-wide witness, and information hiding technology used by Bitgene ensures the second layer security of the solution because it hides both the communication parties and the communication process, and further encrypts hidden information, rendering useless the attack on the digital content.

�14

�5.3.4.A lower cost digital content copyright protection solution

The solution based on centralization can reduce the cost of copyright protection and certification c, intermediate cost of copyright trading partners, and the huge network construction cost of Dapp developers. Bitgene can determine the copyright ownership in the context of digital content transfer, making it easy to carry out business in various application scenarios, flatten business processes and reduce the cost consumed at all intermediate steps.

5.3.5.Comparison between Bitgene and other solutions

5.4.Technical solution

Blockchain technology comes from the community and belongs to the community, we adhere to the open source community tradition, keep platforms, Toolset,  IDE,  component  suites open and maintain maximum transparency for users, and welcome every interested friend to join to grow the community, improve the product, make the ecosystem more healthy and powerful.

We believe blockchain is a cornerstone of the information systems, and is the best technology choice in the absence of trust. The blockchain is not omnipotent; on the contrary, although it applies to a wide range of scenarios, it doesn’t replace the business system nor does it have any intelligence. BAAS is an accurate term that describes the blockchain as a service that can be invoked. With this service, it adds wings of trust to the enterprise application system, coupled with other business systems, and can take business and personal affairs automation to a new height.

6. Innovation of Bitgene blockchain

6.1.Integration of Copyright and Content

In the existing copyright applications, copyright information is often separated from digital content. When the digital content is being used, the copyright information cannot be identified because of the operations such as circulation and being attacked. This greatly reduces the effectiveness of the existing copyright protection system.

Bitgene blockchain uses holographic information encryption and hiding technology to embed digital gene into the blockchain, namely embedding copyright information into digital content (picture, audio and video) without affecting the sensory experience and the usage value of the original content. The digital content processed by the Bitgene blockchain does not change the original usage, and does not increase any cost.

6.2.Decentralization Of Digital Content Copyright Full Life Cycle Management

The traditional digital content copyright management is a centralized structure. It is difficult to apply for copyright certification for digital content creators, it’s hard to trade digital content and trace its usage information, and it is complicated to resolve copyright disputes. Based on the highly efficiently decentralized Bitgene copyright network, digital content creators can quickly apply for copyright certification with network-wide consensus, quickly match copyright trading via smart contracts, achieve entire internet tracing via the hidden copyright information; realize the copyright value increase through

�16

�advertisement distribution system, resolve disputes through the arbitration mechanism, and realize the copyrighted digital content entire life cycle management.

6.3.Business oriented architecture system

The top-level design of the existing blockchain system is based on the decentralized topology structure, which results in the blockchain technology architecture not sufficiently supporting the actual business services. This greatly affects the development of blockchain and limits the blockchain application areas. Bitgene builds a business oriented blockchain architecture based on the decentralized core of the blockchain and provides support tools for actual business scenarios.

6.4.Component Suite

Bitgene proposes the concept of component sets based on the underlying structure of the blockchain, provides more optional open source components through the P2P component center, and better meets the development requirements of Dapp's various business scenarios.

6.5.Distributed Virtual Organization

In order to solve  the problem of mapping the real entities business structure to the decentralized blockchain nodes, Bitgene proposed the concept of distributed virtual organization (DVO), which is different from the " distributed autonomous company" (DACs) and "distributed autonomous organization" (DAOs). DVO forms a definable node alliance with differentiated characteristics via smart contracts, which greatly improves the adaptability of blockchain topology onto real business entities. DVO provides a theoretical basis for P2P community modeling which can be self-organized by individuals, corresponding to various forms of organization in the real world.

6.6.Self-organizing Blockchain System

Bitgene provides highly customized blockchain services based on DVOs. Unlike the other public chains, DVO on Bitgene can choose a modular consensus mechanism based on application scenarios and build a new blockchain business on self organized DVOs. The self-organized blockchain system is an open system that supports self-innovation and self-development.

6.7.Inter Node File System

In order to solve the file storage problem in the decentralization system, Bitgene introduces the node file system INFS. INFS is based on P2P technology and with blockchain technology to provide more extensive file storage options and sufficient storage space for Bitgene users. INFS can solve the

storage problem of different scenarios in the business system file storage.。

�17

�6.8.Decentralized content aggregation

Bitgene provides decentralized content aggregation technology to solve the business presentation problem in the decentralized architecture. This technology allows users to distribute digital content according to users interests on Bitgene components, INFS files, and Dapps, helping users quickly obtain necessary business support.

7. The technical architecture of Bitgene

7.1.The technical architecture of Bitgene

The blockchain system is usually composed of data layer, network layer, consensus layer, incentive layer, contract layer and application layer.

The data layer encapsulates the underlying data blocks and related technologies such as data encryption and timestamp; the network layer includes the distributed networking mechanism, data transmission mechanism and data validation mechanism; the consensus layer encapsulates various consensus algorithms for the network nodes; the incentive layer integrates the economic incentive factors into blockchain technology system, including the issuing mechanism and distribution mechanism; the contract layer mainly encapsulates various types of scripts, algorithms and smart contracts, which is the basis of blockchain programmable features; the application layer encapsulates a variety of application scenarios. In this model, the chained block structure based on timestamp, the consensus mechanism of distributed nodes, the economic incentive based on consensus computing power and flexible programmable smart contracts are the most representative innovation of blockchain technology.

Bitgene architecture consists of six layers: network layer, data layer, core layer, component layer, aggregation layer, presentation layer.

�18

�

7.1.1. Presentation layerThe design principle is to simplify user experience as much as possible, and all the users' work is

done in the same user interface, Similar to the browsers, the B/S user experience is simulated in P2P ,allowing users seamless to transition to the P2P world. The fat client design is being used.

7.1.2.Aggregation layerThe aggregation layer is an organic combination of various business logic modules on the

component layer. The P2P intelligent crawler technology is used to display the resource aggregation of different media types and labels. The virtual machine mechanism is used to achieve a compile to run implementation. The DHT (distributed hash table) is used to search and fetch resources scattered in the p2p network nodes , and with copyright protection system, Bitgene builds a safe, efficient and extremely rich resource virtual organization.

7.1.3.Component layerThe component layer is the business logic layer, is also a tool layer, including a variety of complex

business modules, supporting a variety of business scenarios, is also the middle layer of the business system, supporting the presentation layer upwards and connecting to the data layer downwards, it consists of two parts: H5 and Bytecode, H5 is executed by the browser engine of the presentation layer, while bytecode is executed by the virtual machines of the core layer and they interact with each other using IPC, RPC, WS, etc.

7.1.4.Core layerBecause the node architectures in P2P networks differ, if the code cannot be transplanted

seamlessly, it will greatly affect the user experience and bring extra complexity to the application sharing. The best choice is to use the virtual machine as the execution engine of the upper applications.

�19

�7.1.5.Data layer

There are three kinds of resource attributes in the P2P network, public owned, group owned, private owned , corresponding to blockchain storage, database storage and file storage respectively, the data layer is the engine of the entire nodes, is responsible for the CRUD operations for various resources, DHT is the core resource sharing data tables in the P2P network, performs data indexing on distributed resources to provide information search or data query service.

7.1.6.Network layerKad is a P2P overlapping network transmission protocol, and is a kind of P2P information system

based on XOR  operation. It formulates the structure of the network and standardizes the way of communication and exchange of information between nodes. It is the key technology to the decentralized networks.

7.2.Consensus mechanism

Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) is a blockchain consensus algorithm used by BitShares. The consensus algorithm is used to ensure the safety and reliability of the whole blockchain network. The well-known consensus algorithm includes proof of work (PoW) used by Bitcoin, and proof of stake(PoS) used by Peercoin and NXT. These consensus algorithms do not solve the transaction performance problem, especially the POW algorithm consumes a huge amount of power to do the calculation, and the DPoS solves the problem of performance and energy consumption well.

The DPoS algorithm uses the witness mechanism to solve the centralization problem. A total of N witnesses signs the blocks, elected by stakeholders’ voting of the blockchain network. Because of the use of a decentralized voting mechanism, DPoS is more democratic than other systems. DPoS does not completely remove the requirement for trust. The elected delegates representing the whole network sign the blocks, ensuring that the behavior is correct without prejudice. In addition, each signed block is linked to the previous block signed by a trusted node. DPoS eliminates the time consumption that a transaction needs to wait for a certain number of blocks to be validated by non trusted nodes.

By reducing the requirements for validation, the DPoS algorithm greatly improves the speed of the transaction. By trusting a small number of trustworthy nodes, The DPOS algorithm removes the unnecessary steps in the block signing process. The DPoS block can accommodate more transaction volume than PoW or PoS, and the transaction speed is close to the centralized clearing systems such as Visa and MasterCard.

The DPoS is still centralizes to some extent, but this centralization is controlled because each client has the ability to determine which nodes can be trusted. DPoS enables such blockchain network to retain key advantages of the centralization systems while ensuring a certain degree of decentralization. Through fair elections, the system makes it possible for everyone to be a delegate representing the vast majority of users.

Bitgene provides the basic public chain for digital content business and copyright protection Dapp and copyright trading Dapp represented by holographic information hiding technology, and provide the

framework for copyright tracing and digital content advertising distribution for developers to support ecosystem participants on the Bitgene platform to prosper.

8.1.Holographic information hiding

Bitgene's holographic information hiding technology embeds identification information into digital content carriers (picture, audio, video and so on), and does not affect the sensory experience and the use value of the original carrier. The hidden information is retrieved through specific tools. Holographic information hiding technology has high robustness. Even if the digital content carrier is subjected to multiple attacks or fragmentation, the copyright information hidden in the carrier can still be identified to ensure the consistency of the copyright information within and outside the blockchain.

8.1.1.RobustnessAfter a variety of unintentional or intentional signal processing processes, the hidden information

maintian partial integrity and can be accurately identified. The possible signal processing includes channel noise, filtering, digit/analog and analog/digit conversion, resampling, cutting, displacement, scaling and loss compression coding.

�21

�8.1.2.Safety

The holographic information hiding technology is difficult to tamper or falsify, using asymmetric cryptography to encrypt, in order to prevent attackers from recovering or removing hidden information through statistical guessing, and it solves the deadlock problem of ownership at the same time, when the hidden information is used as proof of ownership it can provide evidence of uniqueness.

8.1.3.IntangibilityHolographic encrypted information hiding technology can make the information embedded in the

digital content imperceptible. Taking picture as an example, the intensity of the hidden information signal superimposed in the background of the picture is lower than the contrast threshold of human visual system(HVS), it adjusts the carrier picture to meet the HVS identification restrictions on space, time and frequency so that hidden information does not cause human perception.

The objective measurement adopts the mean square error (MSE), the signal to noise ratio (SNR)

and the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), and the calculation method is as follows

�

�

�

Among them, � ， � ， � are data values after hidden

information added.

8.2.Copyright protection

Bitgene encourages users to protect digital content through Bitgene as soon as the original work is created.

The user uploads digital content on the Bitgene client and Bitgene compares it with the block to check its hash value and if it contains a digital gene. The new work will be assigned a new "digital gene" , the digital gene and copyrighted content hash value will be recorded on the block. At the same time, the Bitgene information hiding component embeds the digital gene into digital content. After the process is completed, the user obtains the protected digital content and the copyright certificate at the

Bitgene client.

Illustrative sample

Bitgene provides targeted transactions and market transactions, and provides various trading models such as inquiry, auction, collective bidding for one to one, one to many, many to many trading scenarios.

8.3.3.Transaction matchingBitgene buyers and sellers can set purchase requirements and trading conditions, Bitgene

automatically complete transactions via smart contracts when the requirements and conditions are met. Bitgene supports users with a large number of purchase needs to create DVOs for content owners and buyers to form transaction groups. Through the DVOs mechanism, Bitgene can more efficiently recommend and match transactions.

8.3.4.Default margin and dispute arbitrationWith the identity authentication component of Bitgene, the copyright owner can request the

purchaser to provide proof of identity.Bitgene allows the content owners to set up default deposits for copyright content transactions. If

the buyer breaches the contract, the deposit will be automatically deducted via smart contracts.Bitgene provides a component - based third party arbitration mechanism to provide transaction

dispute resolution outside the chain without affecting the execution of smart contracts.

�25

�8.3.5.Optional transaction type

Bitgene allows users to set the transaction type based on digital content. In the case of pictures, the following types can be set:

• RM(Royalty-Managed): The authorization of the copyright is restricted by total number of usage, time, area, and purpose. The purchaser may buy out the right to use.• RF (Royalty-Free): The buyer is not restricted by the total number of usage, time, area and

purpose, but the buyer can't trade it again.• PE(Price-Easy): Based on the RM mode, the copyright owner pre sets the total number of usage, time, area and purpose. 

8.4.Copyright tracing and safeguarding rights

Bitgene can better solve the problem of copyright tracing in circulation based on information encryption and hiding technology.

Bitgene not only provides digital content copyright information change reports, but also provides usage reports and tracing reports via DAPP and components based on information hiding technology, enabling multiple dimensions of copyright traceability. Users can obtain information about the usage, circulation and distribution of digital content, and resolve disputes for breach of contract and piracy

�26

�automatically via smart contracts within the chain or through the arbitration center component outside the chain.

Bitgene integrates digital content, advertising demand and platform users into an ecosystem. It provides intelligent advertising distribution platform services, quickly matches digital content and advertising requirements, and settling corresponding Token according to the effectiveness of advertising. Bitgene uses information hiding technology to realize the advertising content distribution within and outside the chain, providing broader room for digital content monetization.

�27

�

8.5.1.Intelligent advertising distributionBecause of the wide circulation of digital content, the advertisement for digital content has a broad

traffic base. Bitgene's advertising distribution Dapp analyzes the requirements of content providers and advertisers, enabling content and advertisement to be optimally matched, and achieve accurate advertising push based on the user profile of the target audience within and outside the chain. The integration between advertisement and digital content, combined with interactive display, allows target advertisement users to get better advertising experiences, so as to help advertisers obtain better results and content providers better benefits.

The advertising within the chain is displayed on the digital content within the chain and use the anonymous user portrait technology to recommend to users by the decentralized content aggregation tools. The advertising outside the chain uses the third-party application to obtain the user's accurate portrait and is displayed on the digital content that circulates. The digital content copyright owner will automatically obtain the advertising revenue, and the browsing user will also obtain the advertisement browsing incentive.

�28

�8.5.2.Integration of advertising contents

Bitgene matches digital content and advertising based on tags and descriptions and displays appropriate advertisements on digital content whose copyright owner is willing to put advertisements, which contributes to better ad presentation and effectiveness.

Bitgene's copyright content integration technology allows digital content to display advertising content across screens, across scenarios, and across media for pictures.

The digital content with advertising attributes will increase the visibility of digital works and help improve the trading probability and transaction price of digital content copyrights.

8.5.3.Accurate advertisement based on user portraitBitgene is an anonymous network system. Bitgene allows users to choose their own status, and

collect users’ preferences if the users allow doing so to provide better content.Bitgene supports the development of third party's DAPPs, with the intelligent advertising distribution

module, enabling the users outside the chain to access the advertising information of digital content through websites, APP, social platforms, and self-media. The advertising outside the chain provides open interface to third party user portrait data to achieve accurate matching of the advertising.

8.5.4.More value-added servicesBitgene will incorporate more third-party developers based on DVOs and component mechanism in

the future to provide more value-added services in copyright content production, trading derivatives etc.

8.6.Examples of application scenarios (non real cases)

8.6.1.Example of copyright protection sceneA is a game company and has always insisted on originality, but A found that there is a lot of

plagiarism in the industry, because the original owner did not copyright the pictures, audio, animation videos , it’s hard to file the complaint, Many companies have to bear it. A's game scenes are complex, it is very time consuming and costly to apply for copyright certification through traditional channels. A decides to use Bitgene to fully protect the digital content. A quickly obtains copyright certification for various game elements with network wide witnessing through various tools provided by Bitgene. A finds out that Bitgene not only has the network wide proof, but also DVOs composed of authoritative certification centers. Applying for copyright certification from authoritative centers is also very simple. After adopting the copyright protection measures on Bitgene, the original value begins to appear. A

gradually gains its market share.

8.6.2.Example of copyright trading sceneB set up a homemade video MCN (Multi-Channel Network), and shot a number of video series. B,

on one hand, is worried about the homemade video being pirated, on the other hand, is afraid of finding no buyers, so B reluctantly releases video for free to attract traffic. Through Bitgene, B protects all video content, labels them, and sets up smart contracts for automated trading. Shortly B receives the buyer's

�29

�request pushed from the Bitgene aggregation browser. Soon B find transactions done automatically via smart contracts he set up, the buyer is a DVO composed of a group of self media, now B can focus on video creation.

8.6.3.Example of copyright tracing sceneC is a picture agency who marks massive amount of self-owned copyright pictures manually, and

compares the pictures against those on the picture books, magazines and posters with naked eyes. The results are limited, and the working efficiency is not guaranteed. C uses the API and tools provided by Bitgene to quickly search and match the pictures in print using mobile phone and greatly improve the work efficiency. C also uses Bitgene's network tracing tool to get a comprehensive report on the distribution and circulation of their own copyright pictures which guarantees their copyright revenues. C agency reduces the labor cost and broadens the source of income.

8.6.4.Example of copyright value-add sceneD is a magazine publisher, and every month there are many pictures in the magazines and

electronic content. Previously D's income mainly comes from the page advertising. As D use the value-added services on the Bitgene that allows advertisers to put interactive ads on their content. D’s copyrighted pictures with advertising contents are sent to users within the chain through aggregated browsers, and users can get the coupons in their region by browsing the gourmet pictures of D. D also finds that the advertisers still have the advertising requirements outside the chain, so D launches the advertisements outside the chain for magazine printed pictures and electronic contents, implants Bitgene’s Dapp identification tool into their own APP, and installs page codes on their own pages. D’s users can scan the life related pictures to participate in cool games and there are gifts and red envelopes there, the users’ enthusiasm is high. D's self-driving tour pictures on social platforms and websites helps a car company to significantly increase sales, and the advertiser has a high price per customer. D's advertising revenue has surged, users become more active, and D harvests a lot of fans on the social platform.

9. The circulation model of Bitgene blockchain

9.1.Token of Bitgene

The symbol of Bitgene Token is BGT.The Bitgene Foundation provides a limited number of Token.Token needs to be paid to the platform and service providers (bookkeeping node, computing node,

distributed storage node, Dapp).The copyright owner pays token to copyright protection service provider to complete copyright

protection.The copyright content buyer pays Token to copyright owners to be authorized for copyright content

usage or content ownership.

�30

�Advertisers pay Token to copyright content owners according to the effectiveness of content-based

marketing. Advertisers may choose to pay small amount of Token to content readers and the content based marketing campaign participants as the marketing incentive.

Enterprise users can purchase service packages from Bitgene's designated service agencies.Bitgene charges a certain percentage of Tax Tokens for each service provided for Token recycling

and to provide appropriate incentives for Bitgene ecosystem.

9.2.The Token scale of Bitgene

Bitgene issues 10 billion BGT tokens at one time and will never issue additional tokens.The Token of Bitgene is used to measure the value of all services on Bitgene.The smallest unit of Token for Bitgene is BGTP, 1BGToken=109 BGTP

9.3.Bitgene's Token circulation policy

The total amount of Bitgene Token is fixed. As Bitgene collects Taxes from service acquirers through services, Bitgene's Token circulation tends to be deflated, and Bitgene re-distributes the recovered Tax Tokens according to the situation to balance Token's circulation.
