The team includes: Daesik Kim, Co-Founder of Bithumb, one of the largest global cryptocurrency exchanges; and former executives and developers from Kakao, the homegrown Korean internet giant.

The Bezant platform has been 10 months in the making. With a focus on mobile apps, games, and e-commerce primarily in emerging markets, Bezant’s goals are three-fold:

#8226; Empower creators and foster creativity through the blockchain and increasing revenue from digital content with an efficient and scalable billing platform
#8226; Enable more consumers, including those without bank accounts, to access and pay for a wider range of digital content – removing the barriers that prevent people from getting the content they want
#8226; Drive positive social and economic change by increasing the production and consumption of digital content outside the walled gardens of global tech giants

Daesik Kim, Chief Cryptocurrency Officer, said: “We couldn’t be more pleased with the results – reaching nine figures with practically zero marketing spend – and would like to thank the community for its confidence and support.”

“I’m proud to lead Bezant’s token sale effort and this is just the first of many milestones on our roadmap that we are working tirelessly to achieve. Bezant is a game changer in the content and influencer industry as our team, with the support of seasoned industry heavyweights, builds a vibrant and thriving ecosystem for creators and consumers alike.”

The opportunity is huge. By 2018, consumer expenditure on mobile app stores is projected to exceed $110 billion , and by 2021, e-commerce sales are expected to grow by 246.2%, to $4.5 trillion . As consumer spending on digital content increases, Bezant will facilitate access and change the economics of content distribution to capture opportunities in a market dominated by industry giants.
