Blockparty : a new NFT marketplace

Introduction

The cryptoart scene is gaining more and more industry sectors in the world and this has not escaped the notice of various avant-garde NFT artists, even as early as 2020. Whether musical, fine art, applied art or even video art, the use of a digital certificate issued on the blockchain is increasingly appealing to both artists and users!

The arguments in favor of the use of Non-Fungible Tokens are convincing: A new form of exposure and remuneration for artists and irrefutable proof of ownership and authenticity for buyers who purchase an asset. This makes it possible on one hand to explore new economic models for distributing digital art in the world and on the other hand to be able to specify their usage such as with online ticket sales or crowdfunding for a new album.

And if there is a project that has been around since 2017 that already knows the music industry well, it’s Blockparty! The reason they did not get much publicity during this time was because they were busy organizing music events directly with artists for music festivals. This notably allowed them to secure a partnership with Sacramento Kings to be able to distribute tokenized rewards.

In August 2020, Blockparty launched its NFT creation and sale platform for legacy artists, professional athletes, and major brands! Today it has undergone a major update and offers new features to make NFTs as accessible as possible to a wide audience.

What does version 2.0 offer and what are Blockparty’s next steps going to be?

Presentation

Blockparty has already done a lot of work approaching and raising awareness of artists who are known worldwide since 2017 and this has allowed it in August 2020 to enjoy a contact book sufficiently provided to offer an innovative service to artists so that they can continue to flourish in creating their work despite the cancellations of music events.

Thanks to the success (all artworks are sold out!), Blockparty continued to improve its service to offer even more accessible services not only to the public but also to artists!

Let’s start with the benefits for users: One of the first particularly encouraging aspects is the option to use both cryptos and a bank card to make purchases. 

Nowadays, leaving that choice has become a crucial aspect of onboarding newcomers while preserving the already existing crypto user community.

For the exchange and possession of NFTs, Blockparty also offers the choice: to link your Metamask wallet to your account or take advantage of a wallet already present in your profile. If you prefer to use the wallet provided by Blockparty, it stands to reason that you should save this private key in a safe place and never share it with anyone!

The Blockparty team will never ask you for your private keys and more broadly, anyone asking for them is extremely suspicious.

For artists, a particularly interesting option caught our attention: the linking a physical asset with a virtual asset! This feature is in great demand…
