Non-Fungible Thursdays: What Happened in NFTs This Week? [Mar. 31, 2022]

Axie Infinity 'Here to Stay' After $614M Stolen from Ronin Network in Biggest Crypto Hack Ever

Axie Infinity’s New DEX May Have Crashed SLP

Selling Individuality and Belonging, NFT Avatars Are Taking Crypto by Storm

## ما هي سموث لوف بوشن (SLP)؟

يمكن كسب رموز Smooth Love Potion (SLP) من خلال لعبة أكسي إنفينيتي. ويعمل هذا الأصل الرقمي كبديلٍ عن نقاط الخبرة.

رموز SLP المميزة متوافقة مع بروتوكول (ERC-20)، ويمكن استخدامها في تربية حيوانات أليفة رقمية، تعرف بالأكسيس (Axies). تبدأ تكلفة التكاثر من 100 رمز SLP مميز، لكنها تزداد تدريجيًا — حيث ترتفع لتصبح 200 رمز SLP في المرة الثانية للتكاثر، و300 في المرة الثالثة، و500 في المرة الرابعة، و800 في الخامسة، و1300 في السادسة. الحد الأقصى لتكاثر الأكسيس (Axies) هو سبع مرات، والجيل السابع يكلف 2100 رمز SLP مميز. ويسهم هذا الشرط في منع التضخم المفرط في السوق.

يمكن أن يستغرق تجميع رموز (SLP) المميزة وقتًا في اللعبة، وقد يحتاج اللاعب إلى الفوز بـ 15 معركة من أجل كسب ما يكفي لعملية التكاثر الأولى. لذا، يكون شراء رموز (SLP) المميزة من السوق المفتوحة هو وسيلة اللاعبين؛ ليتمكنوا من البدء بسرعة أكبر.

### من هم مؤسسو Smooth Love Potion؟

السؤال الأفضل هو: من أسس أكسي إنفينيتي (Axie Infinity)؟ الرئيس التنفيذي للشركة المنتجة للعبة هو ترونغ نغوين، الذي ترك وظيفته كمطور برمجيات في الولايات المتحدة من أجل التركيز على مشروعه.

ووفقًا لما يقول نغوين، فقد كان لديه دافع لاستكشاف إمكانات سلاسل الكتل في الألعاب؛ لأنه كان محبطًا من عدد اللاعبين الذين يحرمون من فرصة امتلاك أصول ذات قيمة في الألعاب التقليدية. [وفي مقابلة مع Blockchain Gamer](https://blockchaingamer.net/exclusive-interview-with-the-axie-infinity-team/)، قال إن منصة إيثريوم أعطته فرصة العمر في طريق إنشاء "لعبة الأحلام ".

يقول نغوين إن عملية التكاثر التي تستخدم في تنفيذها رموز (SLP) المميزة، صُمِّمَت بحيث تكون مألوفة لدى من لعبوا ألعاب المقتنيات المشابهة مثل (CryptoKitties).

### ما الذي يميز Smooth Love Potion (SLP)؟

من غير المعتاد إلى حد ما أن يتم إدراج عملة مستخدمة داخل الألعاب في منصات التداول كما حدث مع (SLP)، فالأمر يشبه بأن تقرر شركة نينتندو ربط القيمة النقدية بالعملات المتطايرة في سوبر ماريو.

يقول نغوين إن الأكسيس (Axies) تختلف عن الرموز المميزة غير القابلة للاستبدال الأخرى؛ بسبب الحاجة إلى تربيتها من أجل الوصول إلى مرحلة البلوغ،

كما أن SLP فريدة من نوعها؛ لأنها أصبحت واحدة من الرموز الفريدة داخل لعبة التي تُدرجُها بينانس في "منطقة الابتكار" لديها. حيث حجزت سوق العملات الرقمية هذه الفئة التجارية للأصول "التي من المحتمل أن تكون كثيرة التقلب، وتشكل مخاطر أعلى من غيرها من العملات".

### كم حجم عملات Smooth Love Potion (SLP) المتاحة للتداول؟

إذا أردنا الإجابة وفق اقتصاد الرموز المميزة، فحجم SLP المتداول لا يمكن معرفته بدقة، ويعود ذلك للطريقة التي يتم من خلالها حرق هذه الرموز المميزة كلما وُلِدَت حيوانات أكسي جديدة. في جميع الأحول، ووقت كتابة هذا التقرير، كان المعروض المتداول من SLP يقدرُ بعشرات الملايين — وهذا الرمز المميزة المتوافق مع بروتوكول (ERC-20) ليس له تقدير مؤكد للحد الأقصى.

ففي حال زيادة عدد لاعبي أكسي إنفينيتي بقدرٍ كبير، قد يؤدي ذلك إلى معدلات أعلى من عدد رموز (SLP) التي تدخل إلى النظام البيئي، كلما فاز اللاعبون بمزيد من المسابقات وخسروها.

يستند سعر Smooth Love Potion (SLP) إلى [أعلى مستوياتها](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/all-time-high) (ATH) والذي بلغ 0.3642 دولار في 1 مايو 2021، قبل أن تعود وتنخفض بنسبة 75% تقريبًا من هذه القيمة. ثم ما لبثت أن عادت الأسعار إلى الوصول إلى ذلك المستوى مرة أخرى في منتصف يوليو؛ لتصل إلى 0.3462 دولار، وما زالت منذ ذلك الحين في اتجاه الهبوط.

### كيف يتم تأمين شبكة Smooth Love Potion (SLP)؟

لا تمتلك (SLP) سلسلة كتل خاصة بها، فهي رمز مميز متوافق مع بروتوكول [(ERC-20)](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) — وبالتالي تعمل على سلسلة كتل شبكة إيثيريوم.

### أين يمكنك شراء Smooth Love Potion (SLP)؟

عندما تم إطلاق (SLP) لأول مرة، لم يكن لها في الواقع قيمة متقلبة كعملة مشفرة، لكن تغيّر الحال مع تأسيس مجمع سيولة للرمز المميز (SLP) على Uniswap. ثم كما ذكرنا، أظهرت منصة بينانس دعمها لهذه اللعبة المستوحاة من البوكيمون، عبر إدراجها ضمن منطقة الابتكار (Innovation Zone) لديها.

أفضل أسواق تداول العملات المشفرة التي يمكنك شراء وبيع وتداول SLP فيها حالياً هي: [Binance](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar-it/exchanges/binance/)، [KuCoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar-it/exchanges/kucoin/)، [Gate.io](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar-it/exchanges/gate-io/)، [FTX](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar-it/exchanges/ftx/)، [Gemini](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar-it/exchanges/gemini/)، [OKEx](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar-it/exchanges/okex/)، [Uniswap (V3)](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar-it/exchanges/uniswap-v3/)، [SushiSwap](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar-it/exchanges/sushiswap/) وغيرها الكثير من الأسواق.

ويمكن تداولها مقابل العديد من أزواج التداول، بما في ذلك: SLP/ETH، SLP/USDT، وSLP/BUSD. ومع ذلك، يبرز اهتمام كبير في الفلبين بسعر [SLP مقابل PHP](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar-it/currencies/smooth-love-potion/slp/php/) وكذلك في أستراليا بسعر [SLP مقابل AUD](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar-it/currencies/smooth-love-potion/slp/aud/) وأوروبا بأسعار [SLP مقابل EUR](https://coinmarketcap.com/ar-it/currencies/smooth-love-potion/slp/eur/).

كل هذا يعني أنك قد تواجه بعض الصعوبات في شراء SLP مقابل عملة ورقية مباشرة، ونتيجة لذلك، قد تحتاج إلى تحويل الدولارات أو الجنيه الإسترليني أو اليورو إلى عملة مشفرة رئيسية مثل إيثريوم أولاً.

Axie Infinity is a blockchain-based trading and battling game that is partially owned and operated by its players.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Axie Infinity.

Inspired by popular games like Pokémon and Tamagotchi, Axie Infinity allows players to collect, breed, raise, battle and trade token-based creatures known as Axies.

These Axies can take various forms, and there are more than 500 different body parts available, including aquatic, beast, bird, bug, plant and reptile parts. Parts from each type class come in four different rarity scales: common, rare, ultra rare and legendary — and Axies can have any combination of body parts, making them highly variable and often rare and unique.

Each Axie is a non-fungible token (NFT) with different attributes and strengths and can be entered into 3v3 battles, with the winning team earning more experience (exp) points that are used to level up an Axie's stats or evolve their body parts. These Axies can be bred together to produce new and unique offspring, which can be used or sold on the Axie marketplace.

The Axie Infinity ecosystem also has its own unique governance token, known as Axie Infinity Shards (AXS). These are used to participate in key governance votes and will give holders a say in how funds in the Axie Community Treasury are spent.

Axie Infinity

Alien Worlds (TLM) is a decentralized, non-fungible token (NFT) metaverse, where players compete for scarce resources, Trilium (TLM), in a stimulated economy centered around planetary worlds. Due to this, Alien Worlds also has a decentralized finance (DeFi) element to the game, as players advance by staking TLM and using TLM to vote in Planet Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).

Play-to-earn (P2E) NFT games have seen an exponential rise in popularity and value this year. Alien Worlds allow the players, called “explorers” to earn monetary rewards through gameplay or participation in Planet DAOs. By mining in Alien Worlds, a user is rewarded with the native, in-game currency — Trilium (TLM) or NFT packs. Players can stake TLM to boost their rewards or battle with other users for NFTs.

To date, Alien Worlds has established a fair amount of its roadmap, having TLM on Binance launchpad and farming period of TLM on Binance Launchpool. A large portion of game developments have been forged as well. Moving forward, Alien Worlds aims to automate the claiming process of daily allocation to landowners in the game. Artifacts NFTs are soon to be released, and future plans include NFT interoperability.

Alien Worlds

Launched in 2011 by Pixowl, The Sandbox is a blockchain-based virtual world allowing users to create, build, buy and sell digital assets in the form of a game. By combining the powers of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the Sandbox creates a decentralized platform for a thriving gaming community.

According to the official whitepaper, the Sandbox platform’s main mission is to introduce blockchain technology in mainstream gaming successfully. The platform focuses on facilitating a creative “play-to-earn” model, which allows users to be both creators and gamers simultaneously. The Sandbox employs the powers of blockchain technology by introducing the SAND utility token, which facilitates transactions on the platform.

The Sandbox

Decentraland (MANA) defines itself as a virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain that allows users to create, experience, and monetize content and applications.

In this virtual world, users purchase plots of land that they can later navigate, build upon and monetize.

Decentraland was launched following a $24 million initial coin offering (ICO) that was conducted in 2017. The virtual world launched its closed beta in 2019 and opened to the public in February 2020. Since then, users have created a wide range of experiences on their parcels of LAND, including interactive games, sprawling 3D scenes and a variety of other interactive experiences.

Decentraland uses two tokens: MANA and LAND. MANA is an ERC-20 token that must be burned to acquire non-fungible ERC-721 LAND tokens. MANA tokens can also be used to pay for a range of avatars, wearables, names, and more on the Decentraland marketplace.

Decentraland (MANA) is a decentralized virtual world platform with software based on the Ethereum blockchain, where users create, test and monetize content. In short: users buy virtual plots of land as NFTs with MANA tokens on the Decentraland platform. Progress in the game depends only on players themselves, their efforts and their imagination.

The digital platform is completely owned by its users. Within the Decentraland metaverse, participants can explore the virtual world, purchase plots of land that can be monetized, create works of art, own non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and take part in a decentralized autonomous organization of the platform Decentraland DAO. Due to the DAO, the community influences the development vector of the project.

In addition, users have access to interactive applications, in-world payments and peer-to-peer communication. The 3D world resonates with many participants as Decentraland has many applications, both entertainment for gamers and business for investors.

Two types of tokens called MANA and LAND govern operations in Decentraland. They also allow users to interact with the platform.

MANA is the official currency of Decentraland. It’s an ERC-20 standard token that powers the Decentraland platform. With MANA, users can purchase plots of LAND, as well as pay for in-game items and services.

MANA gives its holders the right to vote in Decentraland DAO. MANA can be purchased on a cryptocurrency exchange or by selling collectibles on Decentraland Marketplace. The owner of tokens converts them to wrapped MANA, or wMANA, and then commits them to the DAO. One wMANA equals one vote. MANA can be exchanged for fiat currency and other digital assets.

As for LAND, it’s a non-fungible token (NFT) based on Ethereum (ETH). It is used to track ownership of land parcels aka digital real estate. Like MANA, LAND is part of the protocol and confers voting rights, but LAND does not need to be fixed in the DAO. One LAND is equal to two thousand votes.

Players choose what to do with their land. Owners store tokens in crypto wallets and buy necessities with MANA tokens on the Decentraland Marketplace. Moreover, on the marketplace, participants can manage or exchange LAND tokens (priced in MANA). Holders use the marketplace to transact or transfer in-game items. All transactions are conducted, regulated and registered via the Ethereum blockchain.

Decentraland combines an online gaming space and blockchain technology. All control over the rules is given to the players, and token holders vote on in-game and organizational policies. The original goal was to form a decentralized virtual reality, but in practice, Decentraland has turned into a massive NFT market.

A special role in Decentraland is assigned to NFTs, such as collectibles, virtual equipment and real estate (LAND). However, for new players who want to join the universe and seize NFTs, the entry barrier will be high.

The Decentraland protocol is built on three levels using Ethereum smart contracts. On the consensus layer, the ownership of LAND is tracked and managed. The land content layer displays the content of the Decentraland virtual world. Finally, on the real-time layer, participants interact with each other.

The platform was co-founded by two blockchain experts, Ari Meilich and Esteban Ordano, in 2015. Officially it was launched a year later and became available only in February 2020, gradually turning from a 2D experiment into a full-fledged 3D world.

To sum up, Decentraland is a decentralized game and a 3D virtual reality platform where players own lands and create limitlessly. Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) software is at the core, and governance is in the hands of the community. Through the native token MANA, players participate in any proposals for managing and improving the ecosystem, the auction system, and the in-game policy.

My Neighbor Alice is a farming-themed play-to-earn builder game built on Chromia. The game bills itself as a place where “players can buy and own virtual islands, collect and build exciting items while also making new friends.” Each player has their own avatar representing them in the game, which they can modify as they please. Players can buy virtual real estate from Alice, the game’s eponymous central figure, or the internal marketplace. All purchased land is represented as an NFT.

My Neighbor Alice aims to introduce blockchain to millions of players and targets a diverse gaming community within the traditional gaming market. Although the game is blockchain-based and integrates DeFi features, it does not require prior knowledge of cryptocurrency and blockchain. My Neighbor Alice takes inspiration from several popular sources. For instance, daily in-game tasks and social aspects are inspired by Animal Crossing, whereas Minecraft serves as a role model for building mechanics. The artwork was inspired by the Swedish children’s book Pettson and Findus.

Chiliz is the leading digital currency for sports and entertainment by the eponymous Malta-based FinTech provider. It operates the blockchain-based sports entertainment platform Socios, which enables users to participate in the governance of their favorite sports brands. Multiple fan tokens by Socios.com are an example of that. For sports clubs and associations, fan tokens offer a way of connecting with their fans and unlocking new revenue streams.

For instance, fans can participate and influence club-related decisions through surveys and polls, such as messages the captain should wear on his armband. The company aims to bridge the gap between being an active and a passive fan. Chiliz has developed partnerships with some of the biggest sporting institutions in the world: FC Barcelona, Manchester City, Juventus Turin, and Paris Saint-Germain. It also boasts partnerships with the UFC and gaming organizations. By purchasing CHZ, fans get access to various fan tokens and literally have a stake in their club.

Chiliz

Terra is a blockchain protocol that uses fiat-pegged stablecoins to power price-stable global payments systems. According to its white paper, Terra combines the price stability and wide adoption of fiat currencies with the censorship-resistance of Bitcoin (BTC) and offers fast and affordable settlements.

Development on Terra began in January 2018, and its mainnet officially launched in April 2019. As of September 2021, it offers stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar, South Korean won, Mongolian tugrik and the International Monetary Fund's Special Drawing Rights basket of currencies — and it intends to roll out additional options.

On May 28, 2022, the genesis block of the new chain was launched to conduct future transactions under the name Terra (LUNA), and the original Terra Chain was rebranded as Terra Classic. The original native token — LUNA has also been renamed as LUNA Classic (LUNC). Moreover, all network stablecoins (UST, KRT, EUT) have been renamed to Terra Classic stablecoins (USTC, KRTC, EUTC). There will be no Terra stablecoins on the new chain.

There is a theory that the additional term “classic” is a reference to the Ethereum / Ethereum Classic split in 2017. According to CEO, Do Kwon, the collapse of UST in the spring of 2022 is the equivalent moment of the Ethereum’s DAO hack that took place in 2017.

Terra Classic

Pancakeswap was originally built on the BNB Chain and allows users to trade tokens without using a centralized exchange. It provides an array of products, such as:

An exchange to swap tokens

A yield farm to earn rewards

Syrup pools to stake CAKE tokens

Ethereum liquid staking (wBETH) and simple staking

Pancake Protectors game

v3 position manager (new feature)

A prediction market

Initial Farm Offering (IFO) token launches

A bridge to bridge CAKE to Ethereum and Aptos

A lottery

An NFT marketplace

Pancakeswap innovates quickly and ships new products regularly. In April 2023, PancakeSwap voted to transition to a deflationary token model called "Ultrasound CAKE." The protocol passed a proposal called CAKE Tokenomics v2.5 to create a structure combining real yield (no supply impact) and reduced token emissions. Over 102% of minted CAKE is burned weekly. This is intended to provide a multi-year runway for emissions and incentivize locking up CAKE, making the token more valuable long-term.

PancakeSwap has an anonymous team of “Chefs,” working in the PancakeSwap “Kitchen.” The platform is open-source and has been audited by multiple reputable blockchain security firms like Peckshield and Slowmist.

Although the bear market has impacted TVL and trading volume for the protocol, PancakeSwap still boasts an annualized revenue of $27 million, with 42% of CAKE is staked:

Enjin Coin is a project of Enjin, a company that provides an ecosystem of interconnected, blockchain-based gaming products. Enjin's flagship offering is the Enjin Network, a social gaming platform through which users can create websites and clans, chat, and host virtual item stores.

Enjin allows game developers to tokenize in-game items on the Ethereum blockchain. It uses Enjin Coin, an ERC-20 token, to back the digital assets issued using its platform, meaning that items can be bought, sold and traded with real-world value.

Enjin Coin was first announced in July 2017, and it launched on the Ethereum mainnet in June 2018.

Enjin Coin (ENJ) is a digital store of value used to back the value of blockchain assets like non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Every asset minted with the Enjin Platform contains ENJ, a minting resource which is locked inside NFTs and removed from circulation. Minting blockchain assets with ENJ provides a variety of benefits to creators and users:

Infuses them with a reserve value

Ensures their transparency and scarcity

Gives them instant liquidity

Provides utility in games and apps

Anti-inflationary

Enjin's "melting" functionality allows users to destroy their blockchain assets at any time to retrieve the ENJ value from within.

The Enjin blockchain ecosystem aims to offer software products that make it easy for everyone to develop, trade, monetize, and market with blockchain.

Founded in 2009, Enjin has roots in the gaming industry, with the company’s first product, a gaming community platform called the Enjin Network, growing to 20 million users over the course of a decade.

In 2017 following an ICO, Enjin established itself as a leading blockchain ecosystem developer, building a suite of software products that enable anyone to easily mint, manage, trade, distribute, and integrate blockchain assets.

Enjin’s co-founder Witek Radomski wrote the code for one of the first ever non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and is also the co-author of the ERC-1155 Ethereum token standard.

Built on top of an on-chain infrastructure, the Enjin ecosystem enables game developers and businesses of all sizes to use tokenized digital assets as part of their acquisition, retention, engagement, and monetization strategies. The Enjin ecosystem is fueled by Enjin Coin (ENJ), a cryptocurrency used to back the value of blockchain assets.

Fantom is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) smart contract platform providing decentralized finance (DeFi) services to developers using its own bespoke consensus algorithm.

Together with its in-house token FTM, Fantom aims to solve problems associated with smart-contract platforms, specifically transaction speed, which developers say they have reduced to under two seconds.

The Fantom Foundation, which oversees the Fantom product offering, was originally created in 2018, with the launch of OPERA, Fantom’s mainnet, coming in December 2019.

Fantom is an open-source decentralized smart contract platform for DApps and digital assets that was created as an alternative to Ethereum. Fantom has the goal of overcoming the limitations of previous generation blockchains and balancing three components: scalability, security and decentralization. The project offers a set of tools to simplify the process of integrating existing DApps, as well as a detailed staking reward system and built-in DeFi instruments.

Fantom is a Layer-1 blockchain that uses a scratch-built consensus mechanism and independent consensus layer, Lachesis, to facilitate DeFi and related services on the basis of smart contracts. Lachesis provides security for other layers as well, including Opera, Fantom's EVM-compatible smart contract chain. The long-playing mission of the project is to “grant compatibility between all transaction bodies around the world.”

One of Fantom's key strengths is its performance and efficient transaction processing, namely thousands of transactions per second, where transactions are settled in 1-2 seconds, and the cost is fractions of a cent per transaction. As a result, Fantom provides higher scalability but at a lower cost.

The ecosystem is based on two main technologies: Lachesis protocol and Opera.

The Lachesis protocol is the core consensus layer that secures the Fantom network by providing both transaction speed and security.

Lachesis is an aBFT consensus engine that uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) algorithm. How it works: network data can be processed at different times, and the network filters the participants, allowing only one third, which are allocated due to erroneous or malicious behavior, without compromising network processes.

Fantom's Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism maintains the efficiency of the entire network, its design provides security at maximum speed. Fantom developers emphasize that the PoS mechanism is a leaderless phenomenon — there are no leaders of blocks and participants, and anyone can join (or leave) the network of nodes at a convenient moment.

The key qualities of Lachesis are: asynchronous, leaderless, Byzantine fault-tolerant, and near-instant finality.

As for Opera, it's an application development layer or Fantom's mainnet deployment platform, permissionless and open-source hosting DApps. Thanks to EVM integration and support for the Solidity programming language, Fantom has a full set of smart contract capabilities, which allows users to seamlessly interact with Ethereum platforms while maintaining the advantage of Fantom's transaction efficiency.

The Fantom Foundation concluded that removing block leaders improves network security, so Opera uses a PoS model and leaderless validators (validators do not determine which blocks are valid).

In addition to being a fast, secure and cheap payment platform that enables to make fast and secure payments at minimal cost, Fantom also features on-chain governance where users vote with FTM tokens (one token equals one vote). Of the features: users have the right to express the degree of agreement / disagreement on a scale from 0 to 4.

FTM is the native utility in-house PoS token of Fantom that powers the ecosystem and is applied for payments, network fees, staking, and governance. FTM forms the backbone of transactions, and allows fee collection and staking activities, along with the user rewards the latter represents.

Holo is a peer-to-peer distributed platform for hosting decentralized applications built using Holochain, a framework for developing DApps that does not require the use of blockchain technology. The goal of Holo is to serve as a bridge between the broader internet and apps built using Holochain, offering an ecosystem and marketplace in which DApps are easily accessible, as they are hosted on the internet by Holo network participants.

The Holo network will be facilitated using a token called HoloFuel, which is actively being tested and will act as an accounting system to pay hosts for their services. In 2018, the project minted an ERC-20 token, HOT — also known as HoloToken — as an "IOU" that will be redeemable for HoloFuel upon launch.

Holo is still in development and is expected to launch for open alpha and beta testing by 2021.

Audius is a decentralized music streaming protocol initially built on POA network, but now living on Solana. Audius was launched to remedy the inefficiencies of the music industry, which is plagued by intransparent music rights ownership and intermediaries standing between artists and their audience.

Audius aims to align the interests of artists, fans, and node operators through its platform powered by its native AUDIO token. Artists can upload music, stored and distributed by content and discovery nodes, that fans can listen to for free. Currently, Audius rewards content creators through rewards like featuring in the weekly trending lists. In the future, it plans to integrate stablecoins for artists to offer paid content, as well as artist tokens that give fans the ability to access exclusive content, potentially cooperating with platforms like Rally.
