Blockchain-based content streaming service provider PeerStream announced on Thursday that it had signed document storage and streaming platform ProximaX, as its number one client for its market-ready business service. ProximaX is led by Lon Wong, President of the NEM.io Foundation.

ProximaX founder Lon Wong said, in a statement: “ProximaX sets itself apart by elevating blockchain technology to a higher playing field. With the inclusion of PeerStream Protocol, we are now able to include capabilities beyond document proofing and storage solutions, such as messaging and streaming content delivery. The end result is an enriched and highly extensible platform for building decentralized applications.”

In return for PeerStream’s technology license and services, ProximaX will pay a mix of cash and /ProximaX tokens, undertaking to attain agreed funding targets in its future planned initial coin offering (ICO). PeerStream, in turn, has agreed to deliver specific service milestones.

PeerStream said it anticipates channelling much of the upfront portion of the service fees into accelerating PSP development and enhancing its business solutions service capabilities.
