Jul 15, 2022

SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President & Chief Executive Officer; Eiichi Yonekura) will acquire capital in FRAME00, Inc. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Chief Executive Officer; Mayumi Hara) concentrating the technologies and assets owned by both parties, and conclude a contract about business alliance to begin collaboration with the aim of creating Web 3-related businesses in the media and entertainment industry.

The use of blockchain-related technology—a core element of Web 3—has the potential to update the activities and experiences of both content creators and fans, and both SKY Perfect JSAT and FRAME00 will promote business development with a grasp of new markets and needs, such as the expanding creator economy.

Examples of business development:
Offering new experiences to communities in various genres, including anime and idols
● Distribution of limited badges (NFTs) only given out to passionate fans
● Royalties passed on to creators when derivative works are created and distributed
● Broadcasting of content where the story is decided by fan voting

In addition, regarding the issue of unauthorized use of copyright, which is often seen as a problem in the media and entertainment industry, SKY Perfect JSAT and FRAME00 will also consider the development of unprecedented and innovative solutions which utilize blockchain technology for issues such as copyright protection.

For over 20 years, SKY Perfect JSAT has operated SKY PerfecTV!, the largest multi-channel pay-TV broadcasting service in Japan, as well as on-demand video streaming service SPOOX, to deliver a variety of video content to many customers.

FRAME00, which has stated its vision of "creating a society where all innovators are valued and can take on challenges in a sustainable manner,” develops and offers various products and services to support business development in the Web 3 field, including the DEV protocol, open-source distributed middleware that can be used on blockchain infrastructure, as well as Clubs, a support kit for DAO development.

The two companies will move forward with cooperative efforts, uniting SKY Perfect JSAT’s wide range of assets in the media and entertainment business with FRAME00’s Web 3-related products and technical capabilities through this business partnership, with the aim of developing Web 3-related businesses and making them successful.
