Overstock.com’s blockchain subsidiary, t0.com, Inc. (tZERO) announced today its intent to provide advisory services to WENN Digital in connection with its recently announced KODAKCoin Security Token Offering. In addition, tZERO will advise on secondary trading of the KODAKCoin.
The parties intend that the KODAKCoin will launch in Q1 2018. KODAKCoin will be the first third-party security token to launch on the security token platform that tZERO is developing. KODAKCoin will serve as the currency to power the recently announced KODAKOne digital imagery platform. The parties intend to follow the tZERO roadmap by offering a security token in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws requirements with subsequent trading to occur on the tZERO trading platform.
tZERO will provide end to end advisory services, technology implementation and trading services for KODAKCoin. The suite of services offered by tZERO will include, encryption of accounts, price quoting, clearing and reconciliation services, and anti-money laundering and know-your-customer verification.
“tZERO’s vision in being able to develop and provide a securities token platform that complies with U.S. federal securities laws is key to the success of the KODAKCoin. The KODAKCoin offering is centered around providing photographers security and peace of mind, and the tZERO platform allows us to provide that same security to our token holders as well.”
Last week, Kodak and WENN Digital announced their brand licensing partnership for the KODAKOne platform and KODAKCoin cryptocurrency.
Utilizing blockchain technology, the KODAKOne platform is an encrypted, digital ledger of rights ownership for photographers to register both new and archived work that they can then license within the platform. With KODAKCoin, participating photographers are invited to take part in a new economy for photography, receive payment for licensing their work immediately upon sale, receive a share of overall platform revenue, and for both professional and amateur photographers, sell their work confidently on a secure blockchain platform.
The KODAKCoin security token offering will open on January 31, 2018, and will be open to accredited investors from the U.S., U.K., and Canada.
