How to Create an NFT-Focused Social Media Platform For Creators, Collectors, And Curators?

In recent times, the phenomenon of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) has hit the world economy in a big way. There are a whopping 646,002 unique crypto collectibles with a huge monthly trading volume of $71.73 million according to data from Coinranking.com. Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have witnessed a rapid surge in traffic and usage. 

So, why not integrate the popularity of NFTs and the promising social media industry in the form of an NFT-based social network for content creators? Let us analyze this now. 

The world of social media is a hub of different content (emojis, GIFs, memes, photos, posts, videos) generated by millions of users. However, the members of the social media platforms do not get paid for their own content and the big tech companies pocket millions through strategic advertising and monetization of user data. 

NFTs can solve this issue by completely changing the equation. Users can sell their creative content in the form of digital collectibles and sell it to the highest bidders through well-organized auctions conducted on NFT marketplaces. 

The content creators will retain the right of ownership of the content as the crypto collectibles are a mere version of their content and not the original itself. The content developers can also receive royalties if their content gets resold in other NFT marketplaces. In addition, their content is safeguarded from copyright infringement and duplication. Multiple measures are taken on the robust blockchain networks for the highest level of authenticity and transparency. 

What is the current scenario in the market regarding the powerful combo of NFTs and social media?

• • Financial independence is ensured by Crypto collectibles – as they have made artists, designers, photographers, and video producers sell their work directly to the target audience. Middlemen like content distribution platforms, galleries, and streaming sites have been removed from the system. 
  • The content creators can get a huge price for their work – if there is a high demand from investors on NFT marketplaces like GhostMarket, NBA Top Shot, OpenSea, Rarible, and SuperRare. This will lead to greater profits for them as the revenue made will overcome the costs incurred for developing the one-of-the-kind content. 
  • Jukin Media, a popular entertainment company – has partnered with Night Media, a talent management agency for establishing a social media platform where content creators can sell their viral videos as NFTs.
  • Electronic artists like composers, DJs, and singers – are releasing their rare albums and tracks on NFT selling platforms like Nifty Gateway and fetching millions of dollars in sales. It acts as a good source of revenue for them in the absence of live performances and music tours.

• Nifty’s Inc, a tech company – located in Miami, has shared details of an NFT-focussed social media platform to bring famous brands and publishers together. The users of Nifty’s yet-to-be-launched NFT-based social media network can purchase digital artwork sold by different artists. It will utilize the decentralized MEME Protocol where the buyers can stake crypto tokens and get their desired digital collectibles. 
• ACE (Artist Crowdfund Exchange) – is utilizing NFTs for offering more revenue for sports professionals and workers in the entertainment industry. The content creators can utilize the limited supply of Access crypto tokens for publishing their work. The ACCESS tokens can be also sold for a profit depending on the demand in the market from fans and followers. The content developers also get a 5% royalty for every resale of the crypto token.
• UHive is a unique decentralized social media network – where users can mint their pages and profiles into NFTs. UHive utilized advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, and Virtual Reality (VR). The members of the platform can purchase the UHive crypto token (HVE2) which is fully compatible with the ERC-20 token standard. The HVE2 crypto token can be purchased by using Bitcoin (BTC) on the PROBIT digital currency exchange or from the LATOKEN cryptocurrency exchange via Ethereum (ETH) or Tether (USDT) trading pairs.
