Together
with USD3 million raised and over 1,000 community innovators, LikeCoin unlocks
open collaborative opportunities for content creators
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 16 April, 2018 - LikeCoin (http://like.co/), a blockchain protocol for
independent content creators, which provides a mechanism for creators worldwide
to be rewarded for their original or derivative works,
spread the word about their mission to empower creative collaborations
at the Creative Commons Global Summit 2018, an event where an international
community of leading technologists, legal experts, academics, activists, and
community members gathered together who work to promote the power of open
worldwide.

Kin Ko, co-founder of LikeCoin, shared his vision of the future with some of the brightest minds in the world's creative scene at Creative Commons Summit 2018.
In today's digital-first age, individuals who work in the creative profession
would have been approached at one point or another to work on creative content
for free, or to have their content published on social media and merely
"rewarded" by Likes. LikeCoin's vision is to maximise creativity by coupling
practical recognition and Creative Commons.
"Creators
will be recognised with LikeCoin when their work is 'liked', 'super-liked' or
re-created by the community," said Kin Ko, co-founder of LikeCoin, who
descended on Toronto, sharing his vision of the future with some of the
brightest minds in the world's creative scene at Creative Commons Summit 2018.
"These creators also stand to gain exposure through LikeCoin events across
markets in Asia, alongside established artists such as Kit Man, yanSquare and
mankenlive."
LikeCoin creates unique fingerprints for all
creative contents and traces footprints of all derivative works along with
creators and distributors of the content. Powered by a global, decentralised
and resilient IPFS-based technology, LikeCoin's reinvented Like Button and
LikeRank algorithm will enable attribution and collaboration of content across
multiple platforms and applications, allowing content creators and adopters to
curate contents and record the data on blockchain for other distributors to
use.
"I believe in LikeCoin for what it's about to
bring to creators and creative organisations is nothing less than the
Renaissance to people in and out of the circle." said one of LikeCoin's early
supporters To Cheung, Founder and CEO of UDOMAIN.
The LikeCoin ecosystem will support creative
content in many formats including photos, illustrations, videos and articles.
Original content may be distributed by content distributors directly or
modified, forming derivative work which can be adopted for use by content
adopters. At the same time, LikeCoin's unique Proof of Creativity mechanism and
blockchain Smart Contract are proven to incentivise creators and will help
drive broad adoption by distribution platforms and service providers in the
ecosystem.
Early
adopters of LikeCoin include the prominent digital media outlets Famitsu,
covering latest news and information in anime, comic and games. As well as
Stand News, which is known for their editorial independence, integrity and high
journalistic standards.
"LikeCoin is a unique project that truly allows
artists to come together to distribute, remix, tweak, and derive many more
original creative content that a society needs, especially in order to create
wider awareness and conversations of a particular issue or topic." said Kit
Man, an established multimedia designer from Hong Kong.
To date, LikeCoin has successfully raised over
USD3 million dollars in private sale.
In the 12 months since the project's inception, over 1,000 creators have
already signed up with LikeCoin's creative network in markets across Hong Kong,
Taiwan, Japan and others.
