Populariteten för icke-fungibla tokens (NFT) är fortfarande oöverträffad trots den rådande kryptovintern och den snabba nedgången i NFT-handelsvolymer. Det allmänna intresset för blockchain-teknik och digital konst är fortfarande stort bland företag, och det är absolut nödvändigt att notera att många stora namn har bestämt sig för att ge sig ut på sina NFT- och metaverse-satsningar. Intressant nog har en amerikansk sporttidning som först publicerades 1954, Sports Illustrated, tillkännagett debuten av en ny NFT-biljettplattform baserad på Polygon (MATIC) blockchain i ett försök att dra nytta av blockkedjeteknologins popularitet.
The new service from Sports Illustrated has been titled “Box Office,” and it will allow the event organizers to issue commemorative non-fungible token tickets which will also include pre- and post-event audience perks. The platform has been described as a self-service event management and primary ticketing solution with the Polygon blockchain as its foundation.
Moreover, the new ticketing platform has been created by Sports Illustrated in collaboration with Web3 software developer ConsenSys. It will enable “owners, organizers and hosts the ability to create, manage, and promote a fully scalable, paid or free ticketed live sporting event.”
Additionally, Sports Illustrated Tickets and ConsenSys will work together to develop a “Super Ticket,” which will allow the hosts to remain connected to their attendees with the help of highlights, collectibles, exclusive offers, and loyalty benefits via NFT technology. The CEO of SI Tickets, David Lane, believes that “blockchain is the future of ticketing.”
“From the moment we launched our global event marketplace, which now boasts 50 million tickets to over 250,000 sports, concerts, and shows, we have been preparing to enter and disrupt the primary ticket market,” Lane said.
With the help of the “Super Ticket,” the attendees can scan their NFTs and gain expedited entries to the events hosted by the organizers. Furthermore, they can also receive drink coupons and music downloads prior to the event and can receive post-event video content and rewards as well.
“Guests will keep their tickets to your event in their digital wallet forever,” revealed the new hemsida från Sports Illustrated biljettplattform och lägger till:
“Every guest will receive a $10 credit toward tickets to a future purchase of major sports, concerts or theater events on SI Tickets. We pay your fans to attend your event!”
Oavsett den rådande kryptovintern fortsätter många företag att inleda NFT-satsningar med flera partnerskap. WeTransfer, ett internetbaserat företag för filöverföringstjänster för datorer som grundades 2009, nyligen samarbetat med blockchain-plattformen Minima to focus on the deployment of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Minima network and also empower creators all over the globe with “digital rights management for their intellectual property.”
Dessutom introducerade Kina sin första reglerade NFT-handelsmarknaden den 1 januari 2023. Det skapades av den statligt ägda kinesiska teknologibörsen, Art Exhibitions China och det privatägda Huban Digital Copyrights Ltd.
