Alphabiz

Decentralization is a big theme these days, and whether it is cryptocurrency, NFTs, the blockchain, or anything of the sort, efforts are being made to ostensibly create a world free from surveillance, eliminating the fear of users being "watched" on the web.

Of course, opinions vary wildly on what this decentralization process truly entails, with many people finding the initiative admirable, but the implementation less so. Alphabiz is among the programs designed with decentralization in mind: users can freely download and upload their own torrents in this decentralized sharing platform, which also provides a built-in media player.

As an app in early development, Alphabiz shows a lot of promising signs. It is easy to utilize, the interface is intuitive enough for anyone to navigate through, and the built-in media player is a nice addition for those who frequently torrent films and TV shows.

The initiative is also one in line with decentralization principles: the app features a marketplace, built on a credit system of sorts, where users can "exchange" their files via peer-to-peer transfers. Streaming media is done the usual way, with peer-to-peer transfers again taking center stage. Users can utilize the app as their primary torrenting client without a worry, and view their content through the built-in media player, which supports mainstream formats and subtitles.

The app features an interesting Credits system, whereby users can generate income on their uploads, as well as spend their credit on the files they want to download. This is where the 'marketplace' part stems from: this particular implementation is still in early development, but it could make for an intriguing way to exchange stuff on the web.

You can transfer, as well as receive credits. This is done via receipt codes, so the process is quick and worry-free.

Alphabiz is a promising entry for a decentralized platform: peer-to-peer transfers are the name of the game here, and the marketplace and built-in media player make for some interesting additions. Only time will tell how all of this will evolve.
