The SingularX Story: How SingularDTV is Pioneering a New Era of Value for Artists
From conception, SingularDTV has always been a big vision, driven by decentralization, tokenized economies, the freedom for creators around the world to fund, make, and distribute their work without intermediaries clogging up the relationship between creator and supporter. All of these goals require thousands of hours of input from business, tech, development, legal, and creative perspectives before any sort of tangible product or platform even begins to form, and that’s before the real work even begins.
As one of the earlier successful token launches in the Ethereum ecosystem — SNGLS went live in October of 2016 — long before the ICO gold rush, SingularDTV would have been considered a pioneer even if it were to launch one decentralized app alone. But as the concept for the many-moduled entertainment ecosystem began to realize, it became clear that SingularDTV would have to launch many decentralized apps, over a roadmap of five years, to create a truly self-sustainable economic model.
Building one decentralized app is intrepid enough of a feat, but building an interconnected suite of platforms with brand new technology and ever-evolving parts shows a whole different level of ambition. That’s what faced Kim Jackson, Zach LeBeau, Arie Levy-Cohen, and their team at SingularDTV at the onset of 2017 when it came time to actually bring the vision of a decentralized entertainment ecosystem to life.
To Jackson, LeBeau, Levy-Cohen, et al, the path was clear. The big bang of the SingularDTV ecosystem would be the simultaneous launch of Tokit — the token creation and management platform — as the tokenization foundry, and SingularX — the decentralized, peer-to-peer exchange upon which to trade tokens — as the engine of the economy.
