#### BYTZ, digital currency for media content
BYTZ is an open-source decentralized peer-to-peer currency featuring a Delegated Proof of Stake algorithm
designed to empower content creators through transparent media analytics and blockchain tokenization.
* The BYTZ network features three layers.
+ The first is the core code that makes BYTZ a decentralized currency. It is composed of all users and powered by the permissionless staking network.
+ The second is the Guardian Validator Node network which consists of enterprise companies partnering with BYTZ to operate validator nodes to help secure,
guide, and grow the network.
+ The third is the Token layer, designed for creators and users alike to help deliver a powerful and new way of sharing and collecting content.
* BYTZ will allow creators to tokenize their media, regulate access to it, and track every view. User engagement data is the basis for effective advertising.
+ Transparent Media Analytics means that advertisers can track their ad spend and returns with precision and allocate their advertising budget
to the greatest advantage.
+ It also means that creators who attract attention can get paid proportionally for the value they contribute.
+ TMAP transforms the model from content ownership and consumption to one of true incentivized partnership
in which content creation, distribution, and engagement all earn proportionate rewards.

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install BYTZ
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.
### Enable snapd
