We introduced the PUBLISHprotocol, a blockchain platform for the media, and the PUBLISHalliance, a consortium of media, technology companies and academic institutions for development and adoption of PUBLISHprotocol. In addition, we introduced PUBLISHsoft, an internet newspaper solution based on blockchain that can realize tokenization of media.

In the “Introducing PUBLISHsoft, blockchain-based content management system for newspaper businesses” session that followed, a demo was demonstrated along with a detailed description of the PUBLISHsoft introduced in the first session. As we received high interest in the previous session, many media representatives visited the demonstration session and confirmed the PUBLISHsoft.

PUBLISHprotocol and PUBLISHsoft are new solutions that can solve the new business model of the media industry and fake news, and it receives much attention from abroad. We will continue to make efforts to inform PUBLISH. We ask for your continued interest.
