- DigitalX to advise how Blockchain based systems can enhance ShareRoot’s proprietary ‘User Generated Content platform’.
- Blockchain solutions to add another layer of legal protection for ShareRoot’s customers.
- ShareRoot to potentially incorporate ‘Smart Contracting’ and content trading to further enhancing platform offering.
ASX-listed ShareRoot Limited (SRO) has engaged DigitalX to investigate a suitable, high quality Blockchain solution that can be incorporated into ShareRoot’s proprietary ‘User Generated Content Platform’, which will track and facilitate the ownership and sale of user generated content (UGC).
The introduction of Blockchain technology has the potential to add an additional layer of legal protection to SRO’s UGC platform, further protecting customers using the platform.
ShareRoot Chief Executive Officer, Noah Abelson-Gertler said:
“DigitalX is Australia’s leading provider of Blockchain consulting services and products and we are excited to have engaged them to work on this project.”
“Blockchain technology has the potential to significantly increase the security and safety of our proprietary UGC platform and we look forward to exploring ways to further reduce legal risks for our customers.”
DigitalX CEO and Managing Director, Leigh Travers said:
“DigitalX is pleased to provide Blockchain consulting services and explore potential solutions that will best suit SRO’s business. Blockchain could allow for ShareRoot’s UGC platform to be further enhanced with more secure and effective methods of proving the ownership and legal rights of the content through ‘smart contracts.”
“ShareRoot could also consider the possibility of trading content through a trustless distributed ledger protocol. Blockchain also has the ability to track contents original creation point, greater enhancing the proof of ownership and property rights.”
