Roadstead Starts Selling Owner Licenses for Award-winning Director Kiyoshi Kurosawa's New Film"Chime," Limited to 999 Pieces Worldwide

Roadstead -- a Web3 platform managed by Nekojarashi Inc. based in Tokyo -- has launched the simultaneous worldwide sale of owner licenses for "Chime," a horror movie directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa and invited by the 74th Berlin International Film Festival.

What is "Roadstead"?

It connects creators and fans through collaborative movie content trading on a groundbreaking Web3 platform powered by blockchain. The concept is defined as "DVT" (Digital Video Trading). DVT is similar to NFT, but more so, as it allows for rental and stanning in addition to resale.
