Key Initiatives 2019

Public Site Redesign - SLATE.IO
Transition from the introductory website to a consumer portal featuring all things Slate.

Demonstrate the advantages of leveraging SlateChain and its multilayered ecosystem
Introduce SEG’s proprietary platforms that will benefit both consumers and enterprise

SLATIX
A feature-rich electronic ticketing application designed to facilitate the mass adoption and consumer usability of SLX through offering unique rewards, incentives, and providing mobile devices unparalleled access to all things entertainment. Among the proposed benefits of using SLX are near-zero fees, borderless transactions and meaningful discounts. SLATIX leverages SlateChain to verify ticket ownership and legitimacy providing consumers and venues around the world a fraud resistant ticketing solution.

Core Features Currently in Development:
Slate (SLX) hot wallet integration
Allow consumers to use their SLX to purchase tickets and other entertainment related activities
Prioritizing scalability and security
SLX Rewards Structure:
Earn SLX with every purchase
Earn even more SLX when you use Slate Currency
Receive special offers and preferred pricing when using Slate Currency
Partnership Integrations:
Strategic partner payment and promotional integration.
Exchange Integration.
Tokenized Ticketing and Analytics (Soft Fork):
Extending SlateChain Protocol to include digital asset tokenization (colored coins).
Issue individual tickets with unique values
Establish ownership of an asset & allow transferability
Store enriched analytics of the tokenized event

BINGE
Aims to be the first decentralized streaming platform to utilize the power of distributed ledger technology through the introduction of Blockchain Video on Demand (BVODTM). For the Binge streaming media platform, blockchain technology will facilitate the transparent sharing of behavioural analytics designed to understand what consumers like and why. The Binge model of complete transparency aims to be an entertainment industry-first. The platform’s objective is to ensure equitable sharing of not only the economic waterfall between content provider and creator, but of valuable data that will help creators produce better content.

Example: Netflix’s lack of transparency created backlash from releasing unverifiable viewer analytics regarding the film Bird Box.

Development of Key Binge Technical Initiatives:
Content delivery network (Private P2P)
Modeling and verifying different approaches to a distributed peer-to-peer content delivery network
On demand scalability to meet peak viewership times
Content Creator Analytical Dashboard (Soft Fork)
Extending SlateChain protocol to include tokenized analytics
Extending SlateChain protocol to include revenue distribution (colored coins)
Re-inventing the 10ft user interface
Self service ingestion portal

SLATE WALLET 2.0.0
Slate Core Wallet 1.0.3 has served its purpose as a full node for early Slate adopters and facilitated initial SLX distribution.
Slate Core Wallet 2.0.0 focuses on simplicity and commercial appeal to the masses. We are working hard to update and aesthetically redesign the user interface by simplifying menu options and features. The new SLX wallet will include increased security and performance enhancements while creating cross platform compatibility between all SEG Platforms.

Third Party Wallet Support & Partner Integrations
We believe in providing our SLX holders with multiple secure and easy to operate alternatives to use and store your SLX. We are currently in the integration process with several well-established universal wallets as well as a leading hardware wallet.

Slate will announce the onboarding of SLX to these new wallet platforms once integration and testing has been completed.

EXCHANGE STRATEGY
Being listed on exchanges isn’t enough to add value to a project nor should it be. Slate Entertainment Group (SEG) is focused on building revenue generating platforms that will assist SLX in realizing its true value. These platforms will leverage the SlateChain protocol which will create global awareness and the utilization of SLX. SEG has developed relationships with multiple top 10 exchanges. SLX will be listed with major exchanges strategically in sync with the company’s initiatives, platform releases and partnership announcements.

Consistent with this strategy, SLX is scheduled to be listed on CoinAll in the first half of 2019. CoinAll is a new platform by OKEx to feature top projects before transitioning onto the OKEx global exchange. As part of our CoinAll listing, SLX will be available as a fiat trading pair on OKEx`s “OkCoin” exchange platforms in Korea, Vietnam and the U.S.

After Market Support
To advise and assist in the execution of the above-noted exchange strategy, SEG has engaged the services of a leading aftermarket support firm. This support program is designed to create awareness, stability, and liquidity for our SLX community and Slate’s core business initiatives.

MARKETING & GLOBAL AWARENESS INITIATIVES
As a multi-layered ecosystem, SEG will initiate separate promotional campaigns for each of its platforms aimed at highlighting their benefits and encouraging the use of SLX as the exclusive entertainment currency. Additionally, SEG will create brand awareness by sponsoring major events in the entertainment sector, such as professional sporting, international eSport tournaments, concerts and film festivals. SEG will also have their presence felt as a title sponsor at select blockchain events and conferences around the world emphasizing the importance of blockchain in the entertainment industry and how Slate can be the catalyst for achieving mass adoption.

Marketing will include:
Social media campaigns
Targeted online advertising
Commercials
Radio/Podcasts
Product placements
Sponsorships
News articles
Press releases

Thank you for your continued support!

SLATE Mission Statement

Slate Entertainment Group’s (SEG) mission is to disrupt the entertainment industry using a blend of technology and integrity. SEG seeks to demonstrate how a business operating with corporate conscience can achieve significant rewards for every person connected to the Slate Ecosystem. SEG expects that the result will be an enriched entertainment experience for consumers and creators. To accomplish this, SEG plans to introduce BINGE, a blockchain video on demand streaming platform; SLATIX, an electronic ticketing application; and SLATE (SLX), a digital currency. To facilitate the functionality of the token and platforms, SEG has developed SlateChain - a blockchain media delivery and storage protocol that can be shared by small and medium enterprise for years to come.
How does SLATE plan to create mass adoption and to help the digital currency ecosystem?

The majority of the public is still trying to understand digital currencies. They would like to engage but struggle to see the benefits. By providing real-world applications, the general public will gravitate towards a currency that enriches their entertainment experience. By its very nature, entertainment is the perfect high-profile medium to create mass adoption.

For example, everyone wants to see a good movie, concert or sporting event. The Slate Ecosystem is designed to facilitate that need. Consumers will be able to access quality entertainment at reasonable prices while being rewarded for their loyalty. Producers and Artists will be fairly compensated through the Binge and Slatix platforms. Another ideal example of practical use for digital currency is the Slatix “Fairplay” Concert Tour. In 2019, SLATE plans to launch a worldwide concert tour to promote fair play in ticketing by bringing fairness to artists and consumers by using blockchain technology. Tickets can be purchased through the Slatix app using Slate currency which eliminates excessive fees, fraud and price gouging associated with the secondary ticket market.

Additionally, SLATE intends to simplify the process. There are very few people who understand how the internet works, yet over 3 billion people around the world use it almost every day. Likewise, the world of digital currencies must be simplified to truly achieve mass adoption. SLATE’s formula is simple:

Practical Use + Simplicty = Mass Adoption
