Hello everybody .. in my post this time I want to introduce about WEMARK project, let's just start our discussion:
What is Wemark?
Wemark is a developing blockchain-based marketplace that provides direct sales of digital information such as photos, videos, graphics, music, games, etc.
Owners are able to profit from the blockchain, selling their information directly to a customer, saving up to 75% in fees comparing to existing stock photography agencies.
Wemark provides full transparency to both owners and customers without transactors being a no middle man platform.
The platform is decentralized by design and utilizes ERC-20 type Ethereum tokens in its licensing protocol. WMK tokens are used for operations with any kind of digital content.
Forget what you know about stock photography, Wemark is different.
Here's How:
a. Wemark is not a stock photo agency
Photographers licence their photo directly to customers with no middleman involved, hence customers get better prices.
b. New level of transparency, powered by the blockchain
The Wemark Protocol, powered by the Ethereum blockchain, ensures a higher standard of transparency. All transactions and licenses are registered on a public ledger and turn immutable.
c. Photographers earn more for their work
Wemark sets a new standard for stock photography royalties - photographers keep 85% of the photo sale price.
d. Digital currency instead of credits
As a next generation platform, Wemark supports its own digital currency. Wemark Tokens allow for both customers and photographers to become a part of the platform's economy and value.
Wemark for photographers:
- Keep 85% of your revenue
- Know exactly who licensed your photos
- Keep full rights on your photos
- Join a supportive community of independent creators
Wemark Token
Introducing a dedicated token to empower direct economy of digital content distribution - Wemark Token (WMK)
Token Allocation
A permanent supply of 135M Wemark Tokens will be generated during the TGE.
38% of the total supply will be sold during the TGE, 37.5% will be reserved for the
future development of Wemark (See section on funding strategy below) and community
rewards and the rest will be allocated to the founding team, advisors and
early partnerships.
