NFT Music and Spoken Poetry

For musicians who want to launch their own album, blockchain technology offers platforms like Binance NFT and Audius Music where musicians can mint their music. An example of an NFT music artist is independent blockchain music producer, Alibatta, that launched their music album featuring Ali Young on Binance NFT last year.

While another group, Titik Poetry, a group of Filipino artists who specialize on spoken poetry, launched their first album on the Tezos blockchain. Owners of their NFT will have lifetime access to online and real life events hosted by the group and will enjoy discounts on their merchandise which is another NFT utility.

Exclusive Membership

Through exclusive membership, NFT holders can receive privileges on services and merchandise. For example, when La Union Surf Club launched their collection, TIKBOY Digital Surfboard NFT, their NFT holders were not only given beautiful artworks of surfboards, but also a lifetime membership to their establishment.

Another project that offers privileges and discounts to their NFT holders is Bored Punks of Society (BPOS);  their vision is to give value to the community through utilities of their NFT collection. Here are some of what BPOS offers:

Literary Work

The Last Book by Yvette Tan was immortalized by Jowee Alviar of Team Mania Lifestyle. This move is to promote literature in the NFT space and support The Book Nook Project in reaching out to the indigenous group and remote communities by building reading centers.

In real life application, a young Filipino named Rien Lewis Pecson developed an NFT-based voting platform to help voters to monitor the vote counts for the coming National elections (iVote.ph). This initiative ensures that all votes are true and immovable once casted on the blockchain platform in real time.

There are more use cases available out there. NFTs are used for holding galleries both in the online world and real life. There are also attempts to place personal information like medical records and real estate titles into the blockchain technology, securing important information at the convenience of their owners through phone apps. Even virtual lands are also used to either shop and try out wearable NFTs. Basically, blockchain technology has the potential to improve one’s lifestyle.
