Blockchain for Publishing
Khody Khodayari, CEO, Idelji

A few months ago, Silicon Beach based software company, Idelji found a social and business use case to bring blockchain into the word of publishing. It was about creating a global landscape which offers a level playing field to everyone in the publishing trade, with a fair monetization model. A small team of Enthusiasts began working on this project and expect to go live within the next few months. We will explain our project and discuss why we think it’s revolutionary in both the Blockchain and Publishing world.
