We want to extend a huge thank you to
John Borthwick and the team at Betaworks for hosting Blockchain x Mainstream at the gorgeous new Betaworks Studios space in New York last week.
OST’s Chief Blockchain Strategist Ben Bollen presented the opportunities and challenges for mainstream adoption of Blockchain through a case study on OST partner,
Unsplash, the world’s largest utility for high-quality photography with 6 billion monthly photo views, 700 million monthly API calls, and 450 million monthly photo downloads.
Unsplash is working with OST to tokenize their business and create a decentralized demand-driven economy for photography.
Preeti Varathan from Quartz News moderated a spirited panel with
Mark Bonchek, Chief Epiphany Officer of Shift Thinking and advisor to numerous CMO’s major brands, on the benefits of tokenization for mainstream businesses.
