The multi-billion-dollar NFT market has created somewhat of a pleasant frenzy in the metaverse. It first transformed the world of digital art with an array of unique, non-mutable collections that, to this day, fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars from anyone who has money to spend, including fiat-based corporations such as VISA and Mastercard. They have also attracted a wave of newcomers to the space which apart from everyday collectors, also include a multitude of celebrities like Jay Z, Eminem, and others.

This meteoric rise in popularity has also come with a dramatic increase in use-cases, as NFTs have integrated themselves into numerous industries, thereby shining a bright light on the utility they provide. If you’re a crypto veteran, the term “token utility” is likely familiar to you. For those new to the space, token utility describes the benefits a specific crypto token provides for its holders. This includes but is not limited to passive income rewards through farming and staking, and governance rights such as voting on projects within the community.

NFT utility works along the same principles. While it’s great to be able to buy and sell NFT art, the need to understand their utility in other industries, such as gaming and music, is a hot topic of conversation. All of this points to a more sustainable ecosystem for this highly popular digital asset, as NFTs with real-world use-cases typically provide decentralized solutions in centralized markets in which the balance of power, and overall benefits, very rarely favor the consumer.

If the NFT market is to continue on this path of fruition, it will need to provide evidence of adding value to our daily lives. Some examples of this include financial benefits, real-world solutions, or a community-building effect that brings an otherwise marginalized group of people out of a precarious situation. And case in point, The HUSL stunningly accomplishes all of this.

Our NFT music platform addresses the ongoing pain points that have plagued the music industry for decades. It first began with record labels picking and choosing the artists they felt were the most marketable. With mass distribution and advertising executives on board, it all but eliminated the chance for a musician on the indie scene to get their big break.

The advent of the internet breathed new hope and in many ways did provide a platform for artists that previously had none. But it wasn’t long before corporations seized this opportunity as well, controlling the access fans had to artists through streaming services.

In almost all cases, fans who paid for the music they loved contributed more to a faceless music executive than the artist themself. This is why we believe it’s high time for a complete overhaul of this broken system.

The HUSL creates an NFT marketplace that directly connects artists with fans and other creators. Now, music lovers can purchase NFTs from emerging artists that have true grassroots followings, without the influence of marketing executives or streaming services getting in the way. Artists will also have full control over the music they produce, merchandise, and

Musicians and beat creators can also collaborate with vocalists, and vice versa, all of which remove third-party intermediaries and empowers those who contribute the most to the music industry.
