Teklium, a semiconductor, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (AI) leader, has long been at the forefront of technological innovation. The California-based company is known for its groundbreaking data security and communication solutions. Now, Teklium is venturing into the world of content creation with its latest platform, EQC One. The difference? EQC One offers creators a space where their work is protected and financially rewarding—a radical departure from the exploitative norms of many existing platforms.

A Vision to Empower Creators

Jason Ho, Teklium’s founder and CEO, has always believed in the power of technology to serve the greater good. With EQC One, he aims to dismantle the barriers often preventing creators from fully benefiting from their work. “The internet should be a place where talent thrives without exploitation,” Ho explains. “Only groundbreaking thinking leads to a new practice. This is how we developed EQC One. The platform certifies that creators—not platforms—reap the rewards of their creativity.”

At its core, EQC One is built on constructive AI that prioritizes public benefit over corporate interests. The platform seeks to redefine how content creation is shared and monetized by introducing a paradigm shift in online interactions.

What Creators Can Expect from EQC One?

Security Redefined: Protecting Creativity

One of EQC One’s noteworthy features is its ability to safeguard creative works through a combination of advanced technologies. The system uses Proof of Works (PoWs), a read-once function, and EQCertificates to protect digital content integrity and ownership.

According to Ho, the concept of PoWs makes certain that service providers earn their new digital currency only through verified contributions, such as distributing content or managing network resources. Meanwhile, the read-once function limits data access to a single instance; any subsequent attempts to access it render the data invalid after the initial read. This feature effectively prevents unauthorized duplication and reinforces content ownership while enabling creators to keep full control over who they authorize to access their work.

Additionally, all users must verify their identities before engaging with the platform—whether purchasing digital money, rating content, or leaving comments—establishing accountability while eliminating the need for censorship. 

EQCertificates also play a pivotal role in securing transactions within the platform. They verify the identities of senders and receivers, certifying data integrity while protecting against cyberattacks like eavesdropping or interception. Whether it is music, videos, artwork, or written content, creators maintain control over their work and can rest assured that it remains safe from unauthorized use.

“People should consume content respectfully and legally,” Ho emphasizes. “With EQC One, we’re giving it a space where content creation is both respected and protected.”

A Fairer Model for Compensation

Traditional platforms often leave creators vulnerable to unauthorized use of their work while taking significant cuts from their earnings. EQC One flips this model by prioritizing creators’ rights and financial well-being.

Traditional platforms often charge higher fees, leaving creators with a smaller portion of their earnings. In comparison, EQC One charges a 0.5% transaction fee, allowing content providers to keep a larger share of their revenue.

Ho emphasizes that the platform also prohibits service providers from collecting money directly from content providers, further safeguarding creators’ earnings. Instead, service providers are compensated through digital money based on their contributions as measured by EQCertificates. This transparent system aims to ensure that all parties are fairly compensated for their roles within the ecosystem.

Ho mentions, “We wanted to create an ecosystem where creators can focus on what they do best—creating—without worrying about financial exploitation or logistical hurdles. It’s time for content creators to showcase their talent while truly enjoying the benefits that come from it.” 

A Platform that Serves the Creators

Beyond security and compensation, EQC One offers various features tailored specifically for content creation. It offers a range of cloud services, including servers, storage, content delivery networks (CDNs), bandwidth, internet services, and platform functions, with no cost to content providers and users. This may help reduce the operational costs that often affect creators on other platforms.

EQC One also welcomes service providers offering various functions such as content distribution, advertising, marketing, currency exchange, etc. According to Ho, these service providers are compensated using secured digital money for their contributions, creating a robust ecosystem supporting creators and service providers alike.

EQC One’s commitment to transparency extends to how content is promoted and shared on the platform. EQC One strictly prohibits algorithms from filtering or promoting content; instead, metrics like downloads and ratings or recommendations from trusted critics determine visibility. 

Ho mentions, “The internet has always been a space for creativity. But we are leveling it up through these new features offered by EQC One – securely, fairly, and without compromise.”

A New Era in Content Creation

Ho understands that uncertainty often accompanies change—especially in content creation, where reputations and livelihoods are at stake. Adopting a new system can feel daunting for creators accustomed to traditional platforms. 

The founder acknowledges this apprehension but firmly believes that EQC One offers a transformative opportunity. The platform provides creators with improved security and a new approach to addressing issues like unfair revenue sharing and content misuse.

Once integrated into their workflows, creators can access a platform that aims to provide fairer treatment and more control over their content, offering a space where their work is respected and properly valued.
