Unearthing the Power of Music NFTs for Creators

This week, independent artists are stepping into the spotlight, exploring the world of music-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as a way to engage fans and earn some dough. Cointelegraph’s The Agenda recently hosted Adam Levy and rapper Jay Kila to chat about the magic of music NFTs. Levy broke it down, discussing how ownership-based and patronage-based NFTs can offer artists unique opportunities.

Jay Kila didn’t hold back, proclaiming that NFTs might just be the “last hope” for independent artists. He emphasized this tech’s power to disrupt the traditional music economy and create real income streams. Imagine charging for exclusive tracks or behind-the-scenes content – sounds like a win-win!

Navigating the NFT Gaming Landscape in 2023

In another exciting segment, industry experts shared their predictions for the NFT gaming sector. Executives from all corners, including Aleksander Larsen of Sky Mavis and Zoe Wei from BNB Chain, foresee a rush of traditional gaming studios diving into the NFT pool.

However, they noted that existing models, like play-to-earn (P2E), might need a makeover. Larsen candidly mentioned that P2E, in its current form, is like trying to use a floppy disk in the age of cloud computing – not quite cutting it. Wei added that without further experimentation, we might miss out on discovering the next big trend.

Paul has pledged a whopping 1,000 Ether (roughly $1.5 million) to initiate a program allowing unsatisfied investors to “burn” their NFTs for a refund. It’s like a refund policy, but for those who took a leap of faith with CryptoZoo – only time will tell if it’ll hatch something good.
