BEAM+ LAB to Become a Web3 Film & Entertainment Universe by Revolutionising Traditional IP Ownership Model 6420

With numerous entertainment IP creators entering the Web3 space, BEAM+ LAB stands out as the first decentralised film & entertainment universe that pioneers with its ground-breaking IP co-ownership and “4C” operation model – “co-create”, “community”, “collaborate” and “commercialise”.

Through their exclusive partnership with Mei Ah Entertainment, a listed entertainment and distribution company (SEHK: 391), BEAM+ LAB democratises and liberates over 600 movie IP archives and empowers Web3 communities to co-curate upcoming movie productions with Japanese animation studios.

Decentralised IP Model: Co-Creation and Co-Ownership

BEAM+ LAB reinvents traditional IP models by decentralising and dispersing IP decision-making to community members (e.g. voting and participating on character design, screenwriting and storytelling). By co-owning, co-creating, and contributing to the NFT’s IP growth, holders are rewarded with benefits online and offline. The innovative decentralised IP model allows holders to partake as co-creators and contributors, which allows them to commercialise their IP ownership (e.g. self-initiated merchandise sales and projects).

IP Revitalisation Project – CRYPTYQUES

CRYPTYQUES is a 7-part NFT collection by BEAM+ LAB in collaboration with Mei Ah Entertainment and Wing Shya, an internationally renowned award-winning photographer and director. With the success of the first drop “DESIRE”, the upcoming drop “FURY” will launch in Q4 2022 with Kung Fu as the underlying creative theme. A global creative call-out campaign will be launched to invite Web2 & Web3 (W2&3) artists to breathe new life to traditional IPs with cutting-edge art.

Animation IP Co-Ownership Initiatives

BEAM+ LAB’s partnership with Mei Ah Entertainment extends to its up-and-coming animation movie IP creation, which will be the world’s first animation movies with their IPs to be co-owned by NFT holders. NFT holders will have the opportunity to co-create movie narratives with Japanese animation studios and further commercialise the Web3 NFT IPs they own. IP co-creators will be credited and rewarded with W2&3 utilities (e.g. special access to movie premiers). The animation NFT project will launch in 2023.

Join and Partner with BEAM+ LAB’s IP Ecosystem

BEAM+ LAB spearheads an unprecedented degree of W2&3 IP co-creation by linking up collaboration and partnership opportunities and sharing its entertainment, artists and Web3 assets with IP creators.

BEAM+ LAB is expanding its IP library and co-creation initiatives from movies to arts, animation and much more to enrich its decentralised film & entertainment universe. Recently, BEAM+ LAB has secured NFT distribution rights of Grammy-nominated American rapper TYGA’s virtual concert, together with metaverse city KOOOLA, and several other animation IP development & distribution rights.

All like-minded IP creators and enthusiasts are invited to unleash each IP’s full artistic and commercial potential together with BEAM+ LAB. Stay tuned to BEAM+ LAB’s social media for announcements and upcoming campaigns.

Waterfall Network Launches New Desktop App for Windows and macOS 4619

Waterfall Network, the decentralized and scalable ledger, today announced the release of a new desktop app for Windows and macOS that now allows almost anyone to easily set up their own node on the blockchain. With one-click setup, users only need to download and open the app, their Metamask (or any EVM) wallet, and they will have a full node running in sync with Waterfall Network.

Once users are connected, they can activate the node to receive stake amounts and rewards, view network status and connected peers, manage block producers on the node by creating or removing them, check balances, use external SSD drives as a data storage device, and customize other node settings.

“Supporting the Waterfall Network is now simpler than ever,” said Sergii Grybniak, Blue Wave CTO and Waterfall Head of Research. “This is not only an easy way for even novices to participate in the benefits of a blockchain, but this will also open up Waterfall node participation to a whole new class of user that will prove vital to building Waterfall before we publicly launch the mainnet.”

The Waterfall Network continues to streamline and expand its scale in anticipation of the launch of its mainnet. The Waterfall Network protocol has been optimized to achieve loads of 10,000+ transactions per second, with other optimizations and improvements, including faster synchronizations in parallel, improved search for new peers, automatically unlocked validators, improved reliability in optimistic consensus, randomness creation, new transaction gas estimates, and storage optimization. Waterfall is also continuing to develop and implement fast synchronization, simpler mnemonic phrase mechanisms, and reduced consumption of disk space.

The Waterfall Network protocol is Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible, serving the huge existing Ethereum developer base without having to learn new programming languages. Its protocol incorporates an innovative “Directed AcyclicGraph (DAG)” technology that allows for virtually unlimited scalability and portability of decentralized applications (dAPPs) with low processing power requirements that allow anyone to run a validator node from even low-cost laptops and mobile phones.
