Recently, according to people familiar with the matter, Masayoshi Son has invested in the blockchain animation project Myou. Myou is a non-profit organization established in Singapore. It is based on blockchain technology to create a new form of collaborative creation ecological network for the global animation field.

Let animation creators around the world connect quickly and effectively to form a new production and creation method.

As we all know, Masayoshi Son is very strict about the screening of projects. He has always only invested in projects that can implement blockchain technology. In the field of investment, he focuses more on supporting game-type projects. He believes that this scenario has a wide range of applications.

He said that there are two main reasons for investing in Myou this time: on the one hand, the animation industry has a huge market and there are business opportunities; on the other hand, due to the strength of the Myou project team, it can fully realize the application of blockchain technology in the animation industry.

Land.

Optimistic about the animation industry, a 100-billion-dollar market to be tapped. According to a recent report released by investment bank Digi-Capital, the market size of the animation industry is increasing at an annual growth rate of 50%, and global animation software and hardware revenue will exceed 2,000 in 2019.

billion and will exceed 250 billion yuan in 2020.

However, in a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars, there are fewer and fewer classic animation IPs.

In the current centralized animation industry, profits are almost monopolized by giants, and animation is highly homogenized. Due to lack of funding, the living space for outstanding artists and teams is very limited, and good animation IP ideas are often stillborn.

As the industry gradually reaches a stalemate, the quality of animation will decline inevitably.

Now, Myou is aiming at the huge development potential of the animation industry, investing a lot of manpower and material resources, adhering to the concept of a highly liberalized animation ecological environment, and is committed to creating a decentralized animation ecology and promoting the animation industry to embark on a path of healthy development.

What potential does Myou have to attract Masayoshi Son? There is no doubt that the centralized traditional animation industry is in urgent need of change. Myou’s founding team strives to create competitive projects from all dimensions and strives for excellence in technology, team, etc., for the sake of future updates.

We will develop the market well and strive to reach cooperation with Japan’s SoftBank, Sony, Shueisha and other institutions.

Technical advantages.

The ecosystem Myou wants to create is an ecological platform that is fair and transparent to creators, businesses and consumers. Unlike other platforms, Myou provides a groundbreaking incentive and multi-level recommendation system that allows users to participate in animation and social activities.

Earn revenue from other users' payments and earn commissions from other users' payments.

Through Myou developers will reduce their marketing expenses and earn additional revenue from other anime on the platform.

In the process of users and developers contributing to the platform, the platform will reward them in the form of reward tokens.

Myou's core logic and animation operation logic are implemented based on smart contracts, and key data such as all animation digital assets, core operations in the animation process, and random number generation results are recorded on the chain, making all behaviors open and transparent.

Myou mainly adopts the form of main chain + multiple side chains to achieve ecological layout.

Taking into account the high-intensity interaction and high real-time requirements of animation scenes, the Myou protocol adopts a higher throughput PoW+PoS key chain and cooperates with multiple animation/functional side chains with their own key mechanisms.

Achieve both safety and efficiency.

Among them, the main chain adopts a hybrid consensus mechanism of PoW (Proof of Work) + PoS (Proof of Stake).

Financial advantage.

In addition to Masayoshi Son's investment this time, the Myou project has already attracted the attention of venture capital, and has reached cooperation agreements with Japan's SoftBank, BA Capital, Coin Capital, FUNK Capital, Genesis Capital, Wanlian Capital and other institutions.

In the future, with the support of capital, projects will be accelerated.

In addition, Sony, Shueisha and other companies have also reached strategic cooperation with Myou.

With the efforts of many parties, more brand customers are encouraged to put animation IP copyrights on the chain, which will help Myou quickly enter the animation market.

Team Advantage.
