WHAT IS UMBALA NETWORK? 

Umbala Network (or Umbala Chain) is a performance-focus & highly                   

scalable Blockchain to connect billions of camera devices all over the                     

world and accelerate decentralized eye-vision-computing applications, a             

new term referring to all types of business models optimizing                   

camera-based applications. 

We believe in the connection of camera data, so we create a Blockchain to help                             

build a decentralized network of camera data from billions of cameras all over the                           

world. The main mission of the network is to take advantage of the camera-tech                           

service and camera-data utilization by using a cryptocurrency-based payment &                   

token-incentivized system.  

Umbala Network will provide specific tools and platform features leveraging the                     

power of the community, thus, reducing costs and allowing the community to focus                         

more on the core business of their applications built on the eye-vision-computing                       

economy.  

The core technology powering all the Umbala Network ecosystem is Umbala                     

Chain with the newly-invented consensus algorithm named 108 Delegated Proof-of                   

Reputation developed by Umbala Foundation. With this design, Umbala Chain                   

allows for zero transaction fee and high TPS and empowers Dapps to be the Block                             

Producers of the decentralized network. 

Last but not least, we also try to solve the painful problem that many are                             

running into. It is ‘how a Blockchain network could get mass adoption ’. To solve                             

that problem, we propose sophisticated go-to-market plans for our Blockchain                   

products based on our over-fifteen-year experience of developing online mobile                   

social platforms. Umbala.Tv - the first member of Umbala Chain targeting at                       

KOL-livestreaming-based e-commerce market, will be released by the time the                   

mainnet is launched.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY (MASS 

ADOPTION OPPORTUNITY) 

We find the solution to getting mass adoption for Blockchain by choosing the                         

suitable market of applications where Umbala Chain will enter. We decided to join                         

the global market of camera-based applications since it has a long developing                       

history and continues to prove its huge potential in the near future.  

The world has witnessed 4 generations of business models based on cameras. The                         

first generation was when the concept of digital cameras, in which photos could be                           

captured and stored in digital memory, was born. The second generation was when                         

the revolution of social platforms occurred and photos were shared on social media                         

apps and started to show their communication capabilities. The third generation                     

was when the evolution in telecommunication infrastructure facilitated high-quality                 

wireless internet and videos became the tools for showing more ranges of human                         

emotion and creating more ways of human interaction. Moreover, not only did                       

live-streaming invent a new way of interaction between people, but it also opened a                           

new era of camera applications.  

 

 

Figure 1: The market of camera devices 

 

The fourth generation is happening now, with the massive coverage of cameras                       

all over the world and the development of groundbreaking technologies, for                     

UMBALA NETWORK - LIGHTPAPER 1.0 4

Page 6: T A B L E OF C ONT E NT - Umbala Network · Umbala Network Blockchain has proposed a new consensus algorithm named Delegated Proof-of-Reputation (DPoR) to solve the technical problem

example, AI, VR, AR and Blockchain are predicted to change the word completely.                         

Here are some statistics showing how massive the fourth generation of the                       

eye-vision-computing economy is: 

 

● According to LDV Capital, the total number of cameras in the world will                         

proliferate by at least 216%, reaching about 45 billion by 2022. It can be                           

imagined that in the 5 years to come, each person in the world is covered by 5                                 

cameras on average. 

 

● According to Cisco, the online video content traffic will account for more than                         

82% of all types of content by 2021. 

 

● According to New York Magazine, 80% of consumers will be more likely to                         

watch a video than spend time reading an article by 2020 and 73% of B2B                             

companies that use online videos as the means to accelerate their business                       

will have a brighter profit picture than those do not. 

 

Another example proves the huge potential of camera-based applications. In                   

China, the surveillance technology powered by AI-cameras have been applied in                     

many cities, which helps detect crimes, score citizens' reputation and track                     

customer behaviors. Moreover, cameras are now also used in commerce for                     

developing facial recognition payment at brick-and-mortar stores across the                 

country. With this nation-wide camera system, China is building the high-tech                     

authoritarian future. ‘Already, China has an estimated 200 million surveillance                   

cameras — four times as many as the United States’ (The New York Times, 2018).  

 

Umbala Network is a representative of the fourth generation. We strongly                     

believe in the camera vision where billions of cameras all over the world are                           

connected and the new way of totally real-time interaction between people is                       

created. With the economy we are creating, all individuals and enterprises can                       

easily build their own decentralized, interactive, easy-to-scale and real                 

money-making camera applications operating in a wide range of areas such as real                         

estate, e-commerce, financial, security, media, etc.

PROBLEMS OF THE 

EYE-VISION-COMPUTING ECONOMY 

● No camera protocol for the world’s cameras to connect and work together. 

The world’s cameras are estimated to proliferate to 45 billion by 2022, which                         

means the value of data resource drawn from those devices is potentially                       

huge. Meanwhile, there is no data-sharing protocol for cameras to access a                       

common pool of data, which leads to a waste of resources. Thus, there should                           

be a standard protocol to connect and unify cameras worldwide together.  

 

● The future of real-time-interaction business models via screen has not been                     

uncovered yet. 

Reflecting on the history of the camera-based economy, it can be seen that the                           

functions of camera in humans’ life have been changing and advancing                     

continuously. In the current era, with the support from AI, VR and AR, the                           

camera technology continues to shape a potential future for new interactions                     

between people by creating new applications and facilitating daily                 

communication-required activities.  

 

● The revenue earned in many industries related to cameras is                   

platform-dependent and shared non-transparently.  

Running businesses or working on giant platforms, content creators and                   

influencers have to comply to strict regulations on copyrights and particular                     

policies of each platform. To be specific, firstly, they are not allowed to own                           

the database of new users that they have generated. Secondly, the revenue                       

sharing between content creators and advertisers has to go through a third                       

party which is the platform itself. In most cases, platforms make this revenue                         

sharing process less transparent.  

 

● Internet users and businesses depend on giant monopolies like Facebook,                   

Google, etc.

Page 8: T A B L E OF C ONT E NT - Umbala Network · Umbala Network Blockchain has proposed a new consensus algorithm named Delegated Proof-of-Reputation (DPoR) to solve the technical problem

For a long time, the Internet population has been manipulated by giants like                         

Facebook and Youtube. Business owners have no rights to access and utilize                       

the database of users on such platforms. Therefore, there should be a platform                         

where participants have full freedom to optimize their profit.   

 

TECHNICAL DISCUSSION 

To serve the economy of camera-related applications well, there is a need to have                           

a Blockchain that solves scalability problems, allowing for low transaction fee and                       

high throughput. A serious problem faced by Blockchains yet barely mentioned is                       

that current Blockchains are controlled by ‘Sharks & Whales’. Meanwhile, the basic                       

philosophy of Blockchain is a decentralized system of applications serving daily life.                       

With that concept, a decentralized network should obviously be managed by                     

applications, not the wealthy.  

In the Blockchain world, EOS, with the Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS)                   

consensus algorithm allowing for 21 Block Producers to produce blocks, is known as                         

one of the pioneering blockchain solutions for the problem of scalability. However,                       

the blockchain is dealing with some problems threatening the possibility of getting                       

mass adoption. 

Not many Standby Block Producers are always ready for playing the roles of                         

official Block Producers when needed. When a block is added to the Blockchain, a                           

block reward will be given to Block Producers involved in the process of transaction                           

confirming. Now, the problem of DPoS consensus algorithm is exposed: Standby                     

Block Producers do not receive or receive very few from Block Reward while they                           

still have to pay full infrastructure costs to satisfy the Block Producer Candidate                         

criteria. 

For the network, the problem arisen is often called ‘the partial centralization                       

problem’. With a Blockchain allowing for only a handle of token holders to produce                           

blocks, power in the network is totally concentrated in the hands of a few richest                             

ones which is unofficially called ‘sharks and whales’. They are accounts staking the                         

largest number of tokens, but not contributing the most to the performance of the                           

business ecosystem. As a result, current blockchains with DPoS consensus

algorithm have not built on themselves a true ecosystem of real applications                       

creating real value, but a group of monopolies controlling the network and making                         

money from block rewards.  

 

THE 108 DELEGATED PROOF OF 

REPUTATION 

Umbala Network Blockchain has proposed a new consensus algorithm named                   

Delegated Proof-of-Reputation (DPoR) to solve the technical problem of blockchain                   

technology at the moment. With DPoR, Umbala Network can reach the level of                         

1,000,000 transactions per second and zero transaction fee. For now, Umbala                     

Chain delivers approximately 8,000 transactions per second (TPS), with                 

the Block time is 0.5 seconds and the Block size is approximately 4,000                         

transactions. The testnet of Umbala Chain is now open at                   

http://tracker.umba.la 

The DPoR consists of 5 components: 

 

● Reputation Scoring Engine (RSE): Evaluate accounts in the network through                   

their Reputation Scores. Reputation Score of an account is based on How                       

long its tokens remain staked, the Quality of its Transactions and its                       

Usage of Allocated Resources. 

 

● Reputation Voting: Vote strength is determined by how large reputation score                     

is, not how large the number of staked tokens. 

 

● The Number of Active Block Producers: 45 changeable ones, encourage dapps                     

to become Active Block Producers.  

 

● Voting mechanism: Give away chances to become Active Block Producers for                     

Standby Block Producers.

Page 10: T A B L E OF C ONT E NT - Umbala Network · Umbala Network Blockchain has proposed a new consensus algorithm named Delegated Proof-of-Reputation (DPoR) to solve the technical problem

● Incentive mechanism: Incentivize fairly to all parties joining in block                   

producing process (Active Block Producers, Standby Block Producers,               

accounts voting for Block Producers). 

 

Figure 2: Voting procedure in 108 DPoR 

 

Block Reward for each confirmed transaction is the inflation of the initial total                         

amount of UMB token. This allows transactions in the Umbala Network’s                     

Blockchain to reach the point of zero transaction fee. The overall system inflation                         

rate will be 2.5% per year at the maximum. To solve the problem of incentive for                               

Standby Block Producers, the incentive mechanism is designed so that even Block                       

Produces who have less chance to be Active Block Producers can earn benefit from                           

Block Reward.

Figure 3: Incentive mechanism in 108 DPoR 

 

Compared with current mainstream public Blockchains such as Ethereum, NEM, 

EOS and Lisk, Umbala Network solves the problem of partially centralization. 

Currently, at the testnet version, Umbala Chain reaches: Blocktime 0.5 seconds, 

8000 transactions per second (TPS) and Confirmation time per transaction 

0.5 seconds.

BUILT-IN PROTOCOLS 

We also create important features for Umbala Network, or built-in protocols, to                       

make it easier to integrate into the eye-vision-computing economy: 

● User ID Network & Connection Protocol: Share users database and                   

authentication system, thus, bring profits to users, reduce the user acquisition                     

cost and guarantee the large user based for decentralized applications.  

 

● Revenue Sharing Smart Contract: Computer-executed, digital contracts which               

users can deploy without writing code to ensure transparency in profit                     

sharing. It enables anyone to apply revenue distributing in many types like                       

virtual gifting, affiliate e-commerce or multi-partners revenue sharing. 

 

● Open Camera Protocols: Connect the world’s cameras and create camera data                     

streaming network. 

 

● Interactive Camera Protocols: Enable lots of ways for users to interact with                       

camera data. 

 

● Open Innovation Marketplace: A place where developers join to develop new                     

camera technologies and earn incentives. Umbala Network Foundation will                 

also play the role of an accelerator for new camera technologies here.

TOKEN MODEL 

Umbala network offers a 2-tier token model with the 2 tokens used are UMB and                             

UMX.  

UMB is the native currency playing the role of reward in incentive scheme in                           

Umbala Network.

Page 14: T A B L E OF C ONT E NT - Umbala Network · Umbala Network Blockchain has proposed a new consensus algorithm named Delegated Proof-of-Reputation (DPoR) to solve the technical problem

UMX is a security-like token playing the role just as equity of Umbala Network                           

Foundation. Those who invest in Umbala Network in the first place are rewarded                         

with UMX. Also, the contribution of every person, by money or efforts, to Umbala                           

Network Open Innovation Marketplace is also tracked on-chain and they are                     

rewarded with UMX. When the innovation is used, revenue is shared and                       

attributed back to the contributors. All token holders possessing UMX will get the                         

money shared from the profit of Umbala Network Foundation with the payout ratio                         

proportional to the ratio of their amounts of UMX to the total token supply of UMX.  

 

DAPPS & PROTOCOLS 

To prove the ability to get mass adoption of Umbala Chain, we will build DApps 

and protocols upon Umbala Chain as the first members, which include:  

● Umbala.Tv: Idol live video shopping decentralized application. Umbala.Tv               

used to be a famous Vietnam-based live streaming application, which directly                     

competed with TikTok and obtained many achievements such as reaching                   

200.000 active users in only 1 month, raising successfully $260.000 fund in                       

Shark Tank Vietnam season 1 and getting large user-based with 200 KOL live                         

streamers; 400,000+ videos; 5.000 live-streaming hours ; 500,000 gifts sent to                     

streamers by viewers.  

With the 2019 version, Umbalta.Tv will be upgraded to a trending lifestyle                       

live video shopping app, which can be seen as the Vietnamese Pinduoduo. The                         

alpha version of Umbala.Tv will be launched in April 2019. The final version                         

is expected to be launched in June 2019.

TECHNOLOGY IDEA 

With the vision of solving problems faced by current Blockchains, Umbala                     

Network aims at developing a consensus algorithm that empowers decentralized                   

applications to equally manage the system as Block Producers. Our solution to                       

these problems has been published on many prestigious crypto media outlets as                       

below.

ECOSYSTEM-CREATING IDEA 

Further than building a performance-focus and highly-scalable blockchain,               

Umbala Network is enthusiastic in creating a business ecosystem where                   

decentralized applications could serve different business models and complement                 

each other to optimize resources and profit. This worthwhile idea has been                       

mentioned in many articles about the orientation of Umbala Network.
