STARCOIN
Blockchain + Entertainment Business Models
Blockchain Payment Gateway System

STARCOIN is a coin that can be used on-line and off-line, created by combining blockchain-based coins, such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Monero (XMR), Quantum (QAU) and Dash (DASH), which are currently being circulated, with entertainment business models.

STARCOIN can be used in various ways. To be able to use for K-pop stars’ concert tickets, joining fan clubs and fan meetings, and purchasing MD goods, PG is developed and linked so that checking the products and making payments at once are possible.

STARCOIN makes it easy to purchase stars’ concert tickets and merchandise. Also, it is easy for not only domestic but also overseas fans to use, so it will be easier to communicate among stars and fans around the world.

STARCOIN aims to become a global payment system in the entertainment market.

<TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW>

Existing Blockchain Services
- Existing blockchain technology cannot control add-on-related development.
- Considerable burdens in terms of network infrastructure, development, security, and maintenance are involved.

STARCOIN Blockchain Service
Adopting a similar approach to existing blockchain deployment, provide an exclusive, private blockchain according to business requirements
- Maintain safely within the blockchain
- Eliminate unnecessary burdens on business
- Maintain the advantages of blockchain-based solutions
- Powerful API and lightweight web-based client services

* STARCOIN is cloud computing, very suitable for providing blockchain services.

<TECHNOLOGY>

1. Cryptocurrency
- Plan to build a private blockchain by directly handling the blockchain core
- Plan to design so that the rate of currency transfer will be several tens of times faster than before

Private blockchain refers to a blockchain that is used exclusively by one agency
E.g.) IBM Blockchain Platform (STARCOIN is built as a private blockchain)

For those who purchase STARCOIN for the first time, they will receive personal wallets from the STARCOIN headquarters, and if STARCOIN becomes listed on the exchanges afterwards, the relevant exchanges will generate web wallets and send wallets separately, enabling selling and buying of STARCOIN.

2. Payment Gateway (PG)
- In Korea, content exports are not actively promoted due to government regulation, compared to the popularity of Korean Wave and the rich contents of entertainment.
- Overseas, various virtual currency payment methods, such as Alipay and PayPal are available.

- Develop payment gateway (PG), which enables fans to participate in Korean Wave worldwide, through blockchain (Blockchain Payment Gateway System)
- Develop STARCOIN payment gateway (PG) to be used as a global entertainment payment method, not only in Korea but also worldwide

* Expected to develop so that when module is provided, link protocol data will be distributed together, enabling general sites to be easily linked within 1-2 hours
* Services (watching dramas, MP3 downloads, MD merchandise purchases, O2O service, etc.)
* When STARCOIN is sent by pressing the payment button, the payment will be complete immediately (within 10 seconds), the companies will provide the services, and the companies will make progress with the official operator of the STARCOIN Foundation on tasks, such as payment settlement (payment cycle is 1 week).

3. Implementation of ‘Integrated Contents Sales/Payment Settlement System’ Technology through Blockchain

Blockchain Copyright Management and Payment Solution
- It is a system that enables to recognize real-time sales immediately, if a production agency signs up for the blockchain copyright management and payment solution provided by STARCOIN, uploads the copyright, and forwards module or API to the desired affiliates.
- Until now, information about copyright is known based only on the statistics forwarded, and it is actually difficult to directly check the manager page.

* In the beginning, credit cards and STARCOIN can be used together, but if one experiences that the sales confirmation of copyright is securely managed in one place in real time, then it is expected that only STARCOIN developed with blockchain will be used in payments, rather than so many different payment methods by country.

- Automatically issue ‘Contents Code’ to all registered contents
- Develop a system that distinguishes real-time view status, sales status, etc.
