Blockchain data platform Streamr is partnering with Finnish telecom giant Nokia and California software company OSIsoft to allow mobile customers to monetize their user data and make purchases.

He said in a statement that "Today marks a hugely significant day in Streamr's history, not only showcasing our platform to the world on-stage at Consensus but announcing two stellar partnerships."

The partnership with Nokia will see Nokia's Kuha base stations integrate with Streamr's data marketplace, allowing Nokia customers to both monetize their user data and purchase streams from Internet of Things devices.

"We recognize a growing movement of empowered mobile customers who want to control and monetize their own data," Nokia's radio system evolution lead Martti Ylikoski, said in a statement, adding, "Our partnership with Streamr reflects our firm belief in the platform."

Participants buy and sell real-time data streams through ethereum smart contracts.

Buyers and sellers use an ERC-20 token called DATAcoin.

The partnership with OSIsoft will see the firm's enterprise customers gain the ability to earn money for their operations data.

Ealier in May, Streamr announced another partnership, with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, to use the Streamr Engine - a data aggregator and analytics tool - to collect data feeds from an Audi Q2. Data image via Shutterstock.
