They’re sleek, they’re shiny, they’re rare. Introducing the SoundMint Vinyls, a direct one-way-pass of exposure to SoundMint, rewarding early supporters & community by allowing individuals that hold WE ARE KLOUD NFTs to become future stakeholders of SoundMint while having access to secondary perks & benefits that scale over time.

What are SoundMint Vinyls?

SoundMint Vinyls are digital access passes, in the form of an NFT, that will provide long-term value to early supporters, essentially opening the door to become direct stakeholders in SoundMint.

The SoundMint Vinyl collection exists for several reasons, the primary one being the ability to reward true, genuine, and authentic early supporters & community members who helped launch the start of SoundMint through purchasing our genesis NFT collection.

SoundMint Vinyls | Snapshot Details

  • SNAPSHOT DATE + TIME: March 13th | 12:00 PM EST

NOTE: To be eligible for the snapshot you must be holding WE ARE KLOUD NFTs on the specified date above.

Benefits & Utility | How It Impacts Holders

In order to build universal value for the vinyls we integrated benefits that allowed vinyl holders to not just access financial rewards, but also physical & brand orientated ones. To achieve this the vinyls will provide holders access to an ever-expanding ecosystem that increases the benefits of the vinyls over time, in tandem also increasing the value attached to them.

Holders of vinyls will be able to use their vinyls as ‘all-access’ passes within the SoundMint Ecosystem. As we grow, so will the benefits of holding a SoundMint Vinyl. Some of these benefits currently include:

  • Exposure to Platform Earnings
  • Governance
  • Access to Exclusive Partnerships & Merchandise
  • Priority Access to SoundMint Shows & Partner Events
  • & Much More

We chose this approach as it mutually aligns with collectors who value financial benefits as well as music fans who value physical benefits; although both essentially want the same thing.

Color Variants | Why Different Colors?

If you have not noticed already, there are three variants within the SoundMint Vinyl Collection.

  • Mint (Common)
  • Gold (Rare)
  • Onyx (Ultra Rare)

Each variant correlates to a specific weighted value. The above bullet points showcase the values from low to high. Mint being standard, Gold being high, and Onyx being ultra-rare.

Eligibility to claim a specific variant will depend on the holdings of NFTs from the WE ARE KLOUD collection accounted for on the day & time of the snapshot. The following represents the holdings required to acquire each tier.

The Importance of Involving the SoundMint Community within the SoundMint Ecosystem

As SoundMint continues to grow it is important that we build with the right ethos in mind. Traditionally, including community or creators in decisions that inherently convert them into stakeholders would be frowned upon as it requires transparency on behalf of the company, as well as impacts the bottom line decisions.

We want to showcase that not only are we committed to including the community as a priority in the decisions that we make as a company but also are committed to including the creators, musicians, and artists who ultimately are contributing core value to the success of SoundMint.

As a Web3 music platform we have the ability and opportunity to redefine what the future looks like for music platform users, and creators; and we are going to ensure that there is not one missed chance to do so.
