Global Blockchain Announces the KODAKCoin to be the Cryptocurrency to Six Major NBA and NHL Arenas

Global Blockchain Technologies ( CSE:BLOC) has announced that the blockchain-based KODAKOne image Rights Management Platform and the KODAKCoin cryptocurrency have entered into a partnership with Oak View Group to make the coin the official partners of six OVG Arena Alliance venues, which includes four NBA teams and two NHL teams.

As quoted in the press release:

Participating arenas and teams include: AT&T Center (home of the San Antonio Spurs), Bankers Life Fieldhouse (home of the Indiana Pacers), Golden 1 Center (home of the Sacramento Kings), Xcel Energy Center (home of the Minnesota Wild), Prudential Center (home of the New Jersey Devils) and Talking Stick Resort Arena (home of the Phoenix Suns).

Through the partnership, more than 10 million fans each year will have access to the to-be launched KODAKOne platform, enabling them to upload, register and protect their in-venue photos and videos via KODAKOne’s blockchain technology.

“We want to introduce the KODAKOne Platform to a creative audience that we believe will both benefit from its functionality and serve as early adopters,” said Jan Denecke, CEO of WENN Digital. “The KODAKOne Platform is being designed specifically to enable users to upload, register and share their work, as well as be compensated for it in certain instances. Given the millions of fantastic live event photographs generated each year at OVG’s Arena Alliance venues, this was a natural place for us to start.”

“Mobile devices have transformed fans of professional sports and live events into some of our most talented content creators, and have enabled an unprecedented level of engagement for arena operators,” added Dan Griffis, President of OVG Global Partnerships.

As part of the partnership, WENN Digital and the six Arena Alliance members will collaborate to build a platform that allows fans to use KODAKCoin Token for an array of in-venue transactions and promotions. To promote the use of both KODAKOne Platform and KODAKCoin Token, each venue will develop a number of arena and product promotions for attendees who use the platform. The arenas will also collaborate with WENN Digital to register their own video and photo content to be protected on KODAKOne Platform.
