Zaiko is pleased to announce its latest project offering NFT-backed solutions to artists and event organizers. This is the latest in a Zaiko’s line of in-house digital tools that allow artists to monetize direct-to-fan, and complements ticketing, live streaming, subscriptions and other digital merchandise enabled by Zaiko.
Zaiko is partnering with Curvegrid (https://www.curvegrid.com/) to launch an NFT product for artists, Digitama™ - with further NFT products being developed inside the partnership for event organizers and creators coming soon.

Zaiko’s NFT product, Digitama™, stands for Digital Tamashii. With Digitama, fans can write themselves forever into an artist’s history through the blockchain ledger. Digitama™ are totally unique and once purchased become a one-of-a-kind digital asset that can become part of a collection, or even resold at a profit. Furthermore, the artist receives a portion of additional revenue when an NFT is resold to a new owner at a higher price.
Zaiko is accepting limited applications for artists interested in joining the first release of Digitama. As only a small number of artists will be accepted, please submit your profile through the application below as soon as possible.

■What are NFTs?
NFTs or “non-fungible tokens,” are assets secured and tracked on the blockchain, similar to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. This means they are a “digital asset,” or a “digital object.” They have become incredibly popular as a collectible, similar to how many people collect art or rare memorabilia. In other words, they can be collected and even resold at great value due to demand, just like real-life items. Owners of NFT hold a unique digital asset owned only by them.
