KodakCoin (stylized KODAKCoin) was a photographer-oriented blockchain cryptocurrency[1] that was planned for payments for licensing photographs; however, the project has failed and been shut down. The cryptocurrency was being developed under a brand licensee agreement between Kodak and RYDE Holding Inc. (formerly WENN digital), with the relationship and project canceled.
The initial coin offering (ICO) was initially scheduled for January 31, 2018, but was indefinitely delayed due to questions about its vetting process.[2] A simple agreement for future tokens (SAFT) was then scheduled for May 2018, which limited purchases to accredited investors.[3]
The website and project has been shut down, with all mention of the KodakCoin and KodakOne removed from Kodak's website.[4]
