What is KodakOne?

Earlier this week, the 137-year old Eastman Kodak Company (aka Kodak) became the first major NYSE-listed corporation to announce the development and launch of a cryptocurrency with a corresponding blockchain network when it announced the KodakOne platform.

KodakOne is intended to be a platform that photographers can use to register and license their work, offering a new potential revenue stream as well as a means of legally protecting ownership rights. The platform will also reportedly use 'web-crawling' technology to detect unlicensed use of images in the KodakOne blockchain and ensure that photographers are appropriately compensated.

Since the unveiling of KodakOne, Eastman Kodak Company's stock prices have more than tripled.

Jan Denecke, CEO of WENN Digital and co-founder of Kodak One, is pleased that the project has gained the attention of such a prominent investment company in the blockchain space, calling the corporation “a cryptocurrency pioneer and a visionary in the ICO revolution.”

He said that the company consists of “an experienced group of investors who have a deep understanding of the crypto markets.”

KodakOne’s public ICO will commence on January 31, 2018, and is open to “accredited investors” from the UK, the US, and Canada.
