"By creating our own token and opening the platform to anyone interested in creating or contributing to videos, we will be leveraging the unique opportunities only available in the era of cryptocurrency, such as automatic micropayments with no transaction fees, complete traceability of assets, and fair revenue distribution".
The company has partnered with renowned artist and musician Kutiman, known for his ThruYOU project based on YouTube videos published by different people around the world, which he amazingly mashed into one masterpiece. "Showbox's vision for a collaborative yet completely decentralized platform is an outstanding and important tool for today's generation of creators. I hope it will empower individuals around the world to create more videos and earn more for their work in a transparent way without compromising on recognition," said Kutiman.
Kutiman joins an elite cadre of leading advisors working with Showbox on it's decentralized community, such as Giora Kaplan, co-founder and chief technology officer of Wix; Karl Peterson, TPG Capital senior partner, Prof. Meir Feder, Professor at the School of Electrical Engineering, Tel-Aviv University, Michael Hyman, Senior Vice President of video at Verizon Oath and others.
