Cirus Foundation Launches Web Extension Empowering Users to Earn Crypto from Their Data

During these unprecedented times, data privacy rights and the
monetary value of user data are highlighted in the mainstream
popular culture over and over again as data oligopoly giants like
Meta (formerly Facebook) race to become the first to provide the
world with access to the metaverse. All while using all of the
valuable information they have about you as leverage to move you
deeper and deeper down their rabbit hole. There is an alternative
to that. No longer do Meta, Amazon, Google, and their counterparts
have full control over your data and how it’s monetized. Thanks to
the Cirus Foundation and the launch of its Google Chrome extension,
people all over the world can control and monetize their data for
themselves. All while getting paid in crypto through the $CIRUS
token. The First Version of The Extension Is Only the Beginning The
first version of the Crius browser extension is available in the
Chrome Web Store right now. It allows for basic data sharing and
monetization capabilities. All users have to do is go into the
settings of the extension and turn on the surf n’ earn feature
while giving the extension access to location data. That’s pretty
much it. Why is launching the extension a smart idea and why is the
big deal? Cirus does plan to empower users with their data through
the Cirus Device in the future, a router that allows you just to
collect and monetize data from all internet-enabled devices in the
household, including IoT devices. But given many supply chains are
experiencing all kinds of shortages in these pandemic times,
launching the browser extension gives the whole world access to
Cirus without users having to worry about factors outside of
everyone’s control. It gets users into the ecosystem now, allowing
them to own and earn from their data sooner rather than later. The
next version of the web extension will activate something called
the Data Vault, a feature that allows for more granular control of
sharing data. It will also likely be available for Firefox and
Microsoft Edge users, which expands the reach of the Cirus platform
and pushes forward its overall mission to empower the individual
user with data ownership. Cirus Ignites the Ownership Economy and
Allows Users to Earn Crypto Concentrating too much wealth in the
hands of the very few isn’t good for most people. As the saying
goes, ‘he who has the gold makes the rules.’ Though the world may
not have realized it when the Internet first hit the mainstream in
the 1990s, data is the new gold, and that gold belongs in the hands
of individual users. Cirus is going to give it to them through the
project’s own cryptocurrency. The $CIRUS token. Cirus Foundation
Managing Director Michael Luckhoo says the Ownership Economy has
arrived and it’s here to stay. “People didn’t have a clear idea of
what they were giving up when they first started surfing the web in
the 90s, or when they started browsing social media sites and apps
in the 2000s. Things are different now. Cirus is about to make
users the owners of their data the way Bitcoin allowed them to be
their own bank. User data no longer belongs to four or five tech
giants. Instead, it now belongs to every individual surfing the
web.” Cirus Lowers the Data Ownership Barrier to Entry in More Ways
Than One Collecting and monetizing data with Cirus is as easy as it
gets. Downloading the web extension takes one click. Once it’s
enabled, it simply sits in the background and tabulates the user’s
Cirus tokens. That’s it! Whereas other platforms hope that you
decide against blocking advertisements on your screen in favor of
payment, Cirus empowers you with the opportunity to capture more of
your monetary value for doing what you already do. No need to have
websites telling you that you can’t view content until you disable
blocking or anything like that. There is also no need to install
hardware. Users can be a part of the Ownership Economy instantly,
and as future versions of the extension evolve, so will the
functionality and thus, the empowerment users experience when they
interact with everything Cirus. It truly is a one-step onramp to
Crypto and Web3. The best part is, the $CIRUS token already lives
on Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and the Ethereum blockchain, which
means it’s accessible to a big chunk of the crypto market that
conducts most of its transactions within those ecosystems. Given
the size and scope of Cirus’ mission, other blockchains are most
certainly going to host the token too. Armed with 58,000 followers
on Twitter, a clear vision, an experienced team, and an incredibly
easy-to-use web extension, Cirus is serious about empowering
Internet users everywhere in ways the data giants of our time will
never entertain. It’s time for the billions of web surfers around
the world to reclaim what was technology’s first-ever digital
asset; data.
