Paperchain has been selected as a finalist for the 2019 Midemlab competition!

Marking its 12th edition, Midemlab seeks out the most promising international startups developing new technologies aiming to reshape the music industry.

Paperchain will feature at this year’s Midem, taking place in Cannes, from 4-7 June.

If you’re going to Midem this year — please connect with Dan (dan@paperchain.io) and Dave (dave@paperchain.io) to organize a time to meet.

On May 1st 2019, we wrapped up the Techstars Alchemist Blockchain Accelerator program, pitching to 200+ investors at the Metrograph Theater in New York City’s Lower East Side.

Countless hours went into preparing for this event and it was the culmination of a lot of hard work from all of us.

I’ve been thinking about something Tony Sheng wrote recently on smart contract protocols and red ocean theory.

With the drive in speculative markets around cryptocurrencies, we saw an ever growing list of projects become funded, make promises, and for the large part continue to remain in incubation.

This was originally shared on the Paperchain Telegram group chat and we wanted to re-share for wider audiences.

The Protocol Canvas is a means of mapping primitives between actors within a decentralized protocol. Derived from the Business Model Canvas, the Protocol Canvas is designed for decentralized systems and is a fully open-sourced effort.

The purpose of creating the Protocol Canvas is to help individuals and organizations capture their protocol design in a standardized way and to contribute towards the newly-realized discipline of Token Engineering.

This meetup has been in the pipeline for a while and I’m glad to finally announce the kick-off for the NYC edition of the Token Engineering community meetup. We at Paperchain are very interested in exploring token models that can shift paradigms of data, commerce and services.

We’ve been quiet for some time and we wanted to give everyone a quick update on what we’ve been working on, particularly those who took part in in our black box royalties research.

There’s a lot of discussion in the music industry right now around transparency and rights management. This is in tandem with a discussion on how this would be implemented, and at the moment that discussion is being led by blockchain.

As it is a relatively new technology, there’s not many who understand the technology and why it would be suggested as a solution for many of the music industry’s rights data challenges.
