NEWS: Introducing Glorious, a premium NFT marketplace & creative studio
Unveiling our secret Q3 project…
Today we’re excited to announce the launch of an exclusive NFT platform that changes the game for creators.
For those of you who pay attention to our roadmap, you may have seen this coming — we initially referred to this release as a ‘secret project’ as we weren’t quite sure how to encapsulate the awesome scope of this project without giving it away!
Glorious is a world-first creative NFT studio and marketplace offering a curated showcase of premium authentic digital masterpieces from world-class creators across art, sport and music.
A project we’ve been steadily chipping away at over the last two quarters, we’re pleased to see the launch of Glorious arrive right on schedule and look forward to the release of the full app and platform later this quarter.
This rare new approach to NFTs will launch with a repertoire of exceptional creators that include sports franchise Sail GP and All Blacks legend Dan Carter, musicians Neil Finn, Crowded House, and Six60, and artists Lisa Reihana, Karl Maughan, the Rita Angus estate, and Dick Frizzell.
An end-to-end creative studio as well as a marketplace, Glorious curates, creates and presents rare and exceptional artworks and experiences as NFTs.
Designed to bring artists and fans closer together, the Glorious approach to NFTs centres around the creation of enduring works that uplift all parties involved.
For artists, that means percentage royalties in perpetuity, every time that asset changes hands.
For fans, it means access to incredibly exclusive and valuable artworks and experiences, with 100% confidence that the digital asset they own is truly authentic, truly scarce and cannot be forged.
Alongside Sylo, the founders of Glorious include All Blacks superstar Dan Carter, leading business and innovation consultant Scott McLiver, former Solicitor General Mike Heron QC, and creative duo Murray Thom and Tim Harper.
As the technology partner for this project, we’ve provided the strategy and development required to get this platform off the ground. By utilising the Sylo Network, the Glorious app can enable fans to connect directly with artists.
To keep sustainability at the core of Glorious, we chose to build the platform on CENNZnet, a Proof-Of-Stake blockchain. The gold standard for modern smart contract networks, Proof-Of-Stake blockchains like CENNZnet are 99% more energy efficient than Bitcoin.
With high artistic value as a key tenet of Glorious, the digital collections created and released through the platform are designed to be displayed. Whether fans prefer that to be on their smartphone, home television screens, or in a digital frame on the wall, is up to them.
As part of the Glorious project, exists Glorious Legacy, a stand-alone premium collection reserved for iconic artists and institutions — collaborators who have all earned worldwide recognition through decades of leadership and excellence in their chosen field. These masterpieces created and released through Glorious Legacy aim to celebrate, preserve and enhance their heritage and legacy.
Not confined to just digital works, Glorious will also present experience-based NFTs built around rights and privileges, and access to creators. Experiences could be a white-knuckle ride onboard a SailGP F50, guaranteed front row seats at a Six60 concert, or a one-on-one kicking session with an All Blacks giant.
The Sylo Network offers NFT projects something as rare and valuable as the assets themselves — a plug and play solution to provide permanent, private communication in the metaverse between NFTs.
We look forward to sharing more developments in this emerging area with you soon…
