SLATE is a blockchain-based entertainment utility protocol powered by a cryptographically secure multilayered network. The decentralized system will deliver low-cost, high-speed, high-definition video globally and facilitate live event ticketing on the blockchain.
Consumers will be able to spend SLATE cryptocurrency (SLX) on some of the best entertainment the world has to offer. The use of SLATE enables fair and transparent compensation between creators, producers, and distributors. Creators are compensated fairly and consumers get higher quality entertainment. Tickets purchased with SLATE will be forgery resistant, virtually eliminating fraud. Service providers holding SLX can earn even more by storing and delivering content.
Mission
The Decentralized system will deliver low-cost, hi speed, high-definition video globally and facilitate live event ticketing on the blockchain.
Problems
The SVOD platforms like Netflix are dominating the entertainment industry today which leaves little negotiation power with the content creators. The content creators do not get their deserved profit and are forced to accept the payment agreement which is given by these SVOD platforms.
Today purchasing tickets have shifted to digital platforms. These digital platform which eases the process of ticket purchase charges 20% service fees. Fraudulency has also been increased due to online purchases as it is difficult to figure out the authenticity of the tickets.
Solution
BINGE which is the blockchain video on demand will provide a platform for the content creators where they will be compensated equally for their work. It will also offer consumers lowers subscription fees as compared to centralized SVOD.
SLATIX is a decentralized ticketing solution which will eliminate the frauds taking place during online ticket purchases. Blockchain stores and shares the data once stored and does not allow any user to manipulate it. This will provide counterfeit-proof tickets to the users. Enterprises will also get benefits from SLATIX as they can sell and verify blockchain based tickets and target the right audience based on analytics provided by this platform. The service fees will be far lesser than the fees charged by centralized digital platform.
Masternode Network
The SLATE network consists of a primary network, the distributed ledger for the SLX cryptocurrency, and a secondary layer of “masternodes.” These service nodes store videos and deliver them to Binge customers. Masternodes also quickly secure the generation and redemption of forgery-resistant tokenized tickets for SLATIX. The genius of the network is in the aligned incentives: the SLX cryptocurrency motivates service providers to maintain an always-on global network.
The Slate Ecosystem:
SLATE, the utility token of this ecosystem will be used by consumers to get access to premium entertainment. SLATE token will be used to pay BINGE subscriptions, to carry out transactions and to buy the tickets which will be offered by SLATIX.
