Recently, Stellar announced with a tweet that it has partnered with Kodak to power their flagship product, KODAKONE. It uses crawlers on the internet to create a network where Stellar can use its blockchain technology to identify intellectual properties.
The network will also identify the original owners of the products and the tags put forth by KODAKONE. The Stellar powered blockchain will also give photographers and artists the opportunity to be reimbursed for their work. The American photography company has also created a token called KODAKCoin that is designed exclusively to work with KODAKONE.
Stellar has also gained a mass appeal within the cryptocurrency world with the news that XLM may be listed on Coinbase exchange. The news gave a boost to XLM in the market with the coin showing a marked pump of 69%, which was staggering compared to the other cryptocurrencies. XLM also has the distinction of being the first cryptocurrency to receive the Sharia Certification for transactions and the tokenization of assets.
At the timing of writing, XLM is trading at $0.299 with a market cap of $5.605 billion. The coin is holding the sixth position in terms of market capitalization and has seen a growth of 0.43% over the past twenty-four hours.
