Decent is developing a decentralized content distribution platform with a native blockchain. It will allow anyone to buy, sell, or share content without intermediaries. Decent runs on a Proof of Custody blockchain, that is powered by its native coin, Decent (DCT). DCT is used to view and publish content. Content creators can upload media and choose a price that users can pay to download. The file is then uploaded and encrypted to the network. Publishers (miners) host the content, and users can download it. Decent also has a reputation system that is designed to facilitate the distribution of relevant content to users.

LBRY is developing a blockchain based content distribution network that will serve as a decentralized marketplace connecting content creators and viewers. LBRY's Proof of Work network is powered by the LBRY Credits coin.
