Launch of the MEMETOON project - an online comic service built on blockchain technology

DNHN - This project aims to apply blockchain technology in practice to protect authors' copyrights and the future of graphic design and character creation.

On the evening of September 5, 2024, in Ho Chi Minh City, the MEMETOON project was officially launched, developed in collaboration by Clip K Studios Co., Ltd., GOSU Corporation (South Korea), and Ton Duc Thang University (Vietnam) to create this graphic design platform in Vietnam.

MEMETOON is a new type of online comic service, combining webtoon and the memetoon platform, built on blockchain technology. This ensures that creators are no longer laborers working tirelessly for comic production companies. Instead, they are free to express their artistic vision and protect the ownership of their works. This innovation contributes to a new model shift in the webcomic market.

This project aims to apply blockchain technology in practice to protect authors' copyrights and the future of graphic design and character creation.

The core values of the project include launching the global memetoon and webtoon platform; joining the system as a step towards success; creating webtoon content that attracts global market attention; and marking the new beginning for memetoon and webtoon as a global content platform connecting people worldwide.
