Universal Reward Protocol
Ratings
Rated on Aug 7, 2018
"Based of a research program from Ecole Polytechnique (French Leading Engineering School) and UC Berkeley, Universal Reward Protocol leverages blockchain, IoT and AI technologies to transform the way customer loyalty programs and reward ecosystem work."
Where is this research published? In which journal paper?

Very intriguing project indeed. Simple yet effective presentation video, clear Whitepaper and Vision.
Firstly, the team is mature, experienced and confident that they will successfully complete this concept and turn it into a reliable product.
Secondly, sharing data around this blockchain ecosystem can prove to be very useful especially in the very near future and this is something that will attract a very large number of people, and I’m not talking just about crypto members but people from all around the globe from different backgrounds. I believe that the reward system via the smart contract will be the main element that will pull most of this projects enthusiasts.
The problem comes done on adoption issues, since a vision alone is not enough.

I like this project. The roots in Transatlantic academia interesting (Spinning off a research project out of UC Berkeley and Ecole Polytechnique in 2015), as well as the current client base for the forerunner called Occi which has been picked up by some major retailers. Whitepaper is strong and well written. Video is good. Getting paid for sharing data with retailers is smart.

Avantages :
- Bonne équipe qui a de l'expérience dans son domaine.
- Etre rémunéré pour effectuer des actions.
- URP permet aux shoppers de décider avec quels détaillants ils veulent partager leurs données.
- Combine la blockchain et la technologie IoT.
- Ils ont des partenaires fiables.
- Peut attirer un grand nombre de personnes grâce à son système de récompense même pour les "crypto-sceptiques".
- Il y aura un système de réputation qui permettra de reconnaître les bons et les mauvais acteurs.
- Le bounty n'est pas qu'un simple "like fb" et "mettre des bons commentaires, ils demandent de vrais actions comme répondre à un quizz, ou rédiger un article ou une review. Cela évite d'avoir un projet faussement coté.
- Projet français (pas vraiment un point positif mais c’est toujours bon de le citer).
- Il sera possible pour shopper de recevoir un virement en euros plutôt que de rester en URP.
Inconvénients :
- Pas encore de MVP (mais devrait arrivé bientôt et a déjà un produit fonctionnel).
- Devra avoir une stratégie forte pour créer une communauté de shoppers et de retailer.

Good concept and great team, but the execution and mass adoption will take too long.
The positive side is that partnerships seems to be already signs with 2 of the biggest retail / grocery shops in France.
