World’s first King Of Pop NFT launches on Luxury NFT Platform
UK based NFT Platform has partnered with songwriter Gil Cang, co-writer of the song “Whatever Happens”, which was included in album “Invincible” to be able to offer a stake of his 37.5% publishing copyright in the song.
Deliciae will exclusively market the NFT which offers the buyer a 10% of net music publishing income from the song, which equates to 26.6666667% of Gil’s entitlement.
This is a landmark moment for the NFT market and for newly established Deliciae. Founder of the platform, Seyi Awotunde, launched the platform after finding a gap in the market for a high-end marketplace to exhibit luxury artworks, vehicles, and 18ct gold membership cards. “I noticed many platforms that felt reminiscent of Ebay/Amazon – many of whom have done very well. The NFT space lacked a platform dedicated to the opposite end of the spectrum. Amongst collectors and creators there is a strong desire to enhance the buying experience of NFTs. We connect high net worth individuals with digital, physical and experiential based NFTs”
The “Whatever Happens” NFT will give the opportunity to the buyer to receive a long term residual income from their 10% share of the music publishing copyright in the song. Being the first NFT released that is associated with Michael Jackson’s music career is a pivotal moment in the crypto market. As well as a share to the rights of the song the buyer will also receive handwritten, signed lyrics from Gil Cang along with a framed platinum disc, all of which is fully authenticated.
Seyi Awotunde “As a massive Michael Jackson fan, it’s an honour to be working on such an historic NFT that is a slice from MJ’s last living album . The Invincible album sold over 8 million copies world-wide. This NFT being sold on Deliciae fills me with joy that I can’t express in words.”
“NFTs really exploded from obscurity to becoming Collins Dictionary’s word of the year for 2021. I feel the UK is perfectly positioned to be a leader in this exciting space with so much creativity, culture and talent to offer.”
Gil Cang: “The idea for selling a percentage of ‘Whatever Happens’ came about because I was talking about NFTs with a friend Kwame Kwaten. I think the future involves the breakdown of all big corporations controlling art forms and that is of interest to people.”
Exverse, a free-to-play game bringing a fresh take on AAA first-person-shooters to Web3, announces the launch of its native $EXVG token on ByBit, a top-three crypto exchange by volume with over 20 million users. The ByBit launch will be followed by spot listings on the MEXC and Gate exchanges. Ahead of its full alpha launch in mid-May, Exverse hosted a soft-launch tournament for 5,000 early registrees on April 15 with cash rewards for top performers.
During the last bull run, Web3 games rose to prominence under the play-to-earn mechanism that made games like “Axie Infinity” so popular. As this model became widely replicated, many of these blockchain-based games prioritized the crypto elements at the expense of the actual game aspects. This trend could be seen in practice by many titles opting to undergo a token launch before even having a working demo, disincentivizing developers to build a quality game, and leaving users with no ecosystem or functioning game to play and spend or the native currency in.
With Exverse approaching its full launch, players can earn $EXVG by performing well while using the native token to enter matches, purchase premium items, and more. The $EXVG token builds on Exverse’s extensive beta and serves as the ecosystem’s currency while the game’s community witnessed a 20 percent growth in verified signups within a month. Supporting Exverse in their token launch are prominent launchpads and incubators that include Seedify, ChainGPT, and GameFi.
To build momentum for its upcoming alpha launch in mid-May, Exverse showcased its game by holding an exclusive deathmatch-style tournament for 5,000 early wait listers on April 15. The five-day tournament, which took place on the game’s ‘Battle Planet,’ gives players a chance to demonstrate their skills and win rewards via stablecoins and tokens. With $50,000 in total up for grabs, the top 100 performers earned at least $200. Top five finishers earnings were dispersed accordingly:
1st place: $4,000
2nd place: $2,000
3rd place: $1,500
4th and 5th place: $1,000
Built using Epic’s Unreal Engine 5, Exverse utilizes blockchain technology to strike a balance between enjoyable, realistic, and immersive real-time gameplay. The game prioritizes skill over pay-2-win mechanics, enabling players to earn rewards by staking tokens before a season’s kickoff. Top performers receive a share of profits from in-game NFTs such as cosmetics and skins.
To support the ecosystem’s development, expansion, and growth while rewarding the team and its early supporters, 400 million $EXVG will be minted.
“We are extremely excited about our token launch and proud to work with a great partner like ByBit to make it happen,” says Fei Ooi Hoong, CEO of Exverse. “We worked tirelessly to develop a diverse, engaging, and intuitive first-person shooter capable of revolutionizing how the public views blockchain-based gaming. Our talented team tapped into its background in traditional gaming to develop a rich and immersive gaming experience and then strategically implemented the NFT elements and in-game economics to enhance the user experience.”
