Hi guys, we have breaking news for all fans of the King of Pop!
UNICO, a maker of Decentralized Digital Collectibles certified by the Ethereum blockchain, is about to become the first blockchain startup in the world to offer an exclusive digital collectible from the life of one of the world’s most prolific pop stars.
We are finalizing an agreement with a US art collector who own a set of limited-edition serigraphs from "The Book", a 127 x 102 cm painting painted in 1990 by an Australian artist Brett-Livingstone Strong, which is the only portrait that Michael Jackson ever sat for.
The original portrait was reportedly sold for $2,100,000 in 1990 (more details can be found in this 2009 New York Times article.
We are acquiring exclusive reproduction rights on the serigraph bearing serial number 341, which is double-signed by Jackson and Strong. Next, we will turn a high-resolution photograph of this serigraph into a limited-edition digital collectible, by issuing a fixed number of access licenses on the Ethereum blockchain.
Sales of the licenses will be managed directly via UNICO's proprietary smart contract, which will also power a decentralized "secondary market", where collectors will be able to trade licenses between them.
UNICO is launching today a “live” seed crowdsale....contribute now!
