Blockchain media company Slate Entertainment Group revealed its 'seven figure deal' on acquiring rights for a documentary about blockchain during the Cannes film festival, company representatives reported to Cointelegraph.
Slate intends to broadcast the documentary Beyond Bitcoin via its blockchain based online streaming platform Binge.
The decentralized Binge platform provides low-cost, high-speed, high-definition media access for consumers worldwide, says the text of the press release.
During the Cannes festival in May 2018, Slate appeared at the center of the buzz surrounding blockchain technology and its potential to alter the entertainment industry.
In Cannes, Slate announced their newly formed partnership with Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival, where Sitges will adopt its digital ticketing platform, Slatix, powered by the cryptocurrency SLATE SLX, for the purchase of tickets and festival passes.
"This will mark the first time in industry history that a film festival will accept cryptocurrency as well as traditional forms of payment", says the Slate press release.
Based in Toronto and Los Angeles, the Slate Entertainment Group has launched several media platforms on its own blockchain, including Binge and Slatix.
The Slate team has overpassed its soft cap goal, having raised over $20 mln.
HitBTC will host SLX with trading pairs against Bitcoin and Tether.
"Slate Entertainment Group is especially pleased to announce the agreement during the presale as it assures buyers that they will be able to trade SLX on the open market. The listing on a major exchange will also expand SLX's exposure to new markets and increase distribution after the initial sale" says the press release.
