Primary sales of tokens are the most disruptive use case of blockchains. These sales as fundraising are also the most critical driving force of a new market. For examples, network tokens for funding protocols in 2017 and 2018, governance tokens for decentralized finance in 2020, non-fungible tokens for community engagements in 2021, and land tokens for Metaverse games in early 2022. We claim that NFT mints for artists, musicians, writers, athletes and performers will soon dominate the Web3 market as the creator economy. These mints are mostly intended for true fans to be funding creators with social collectibles rather than for secondary sales or speculative investments.

PledgeMusic considered itself a direct-to-fan platform as opposed to a crowdfunding website:
- Sole focus on raising funds for musicians
- Not retaining any ownership or rights to any music created through the platform
- Absorbs all transaction processing costs involved in pledging on a project
- No processing of any fund transactions until the fund target reached
- Encourages artists to include contributions to charity
- Encourages artists to offer a wide range of incentives and exclusive content to fans
- International, accepting artists, projects and pledges from all over the world

⏳ Music NFT
The Top Music NFT Moments of All Time
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic effectively cut musicians off from all of their primary sources of income. Live shows ended, merchandise sales slowed to a crawl, and the money stopped coming in. The months dragged on, and things didn't get better.

Musicians Are Making Big Money From NFTs. Can They Challenge the Music Industry?
Independent musicians like Daniel Allan are using NFTs to make a living outside of the record label system.

Allan also sells songs individually on the NFT music platform Catalog—which doesn’t require him to surrender the rights to his work. Combined, he says he now makes 85% of his living off NFTs. Hundreds of musicians are following Allan into this world. On Catalog, 140 artists have sold over 350 records for more than $1 million combined.

Virgil Abloh, a longtime collaborator with West, planning an NFT-centric DAO… Audius, ModaDAO, and Metaplex are attempting to bring crypto incentives to music streaming, licensing, and merchandising… Friends With Benefits (FWB) has proven to be a powerful artist community. The popular DAO started a fellowship and benefactor program to support creatives, and grants are run by Pat Lok, an electronic musician whose work has sold on Catalog and Sound.

Using a three part approach, our goal is to evolve this operation into a self sustained Web3 "record label" that will be completely decentralized.

Social Moment NFT & Autographs
Who’s combining social-location-mobile with NFT-DAO? Web3 versions of Foursquare-Instagram-Twitter? As proofs of presence-clout-human. Join #ONEmomentDAO to capture the happiness and meanings of your moments on forever.one – like Pokémon but with on-chain autographs.
For example, user A takes photo of B. forever.one makes #1moment nft qrcode with its photo, a venue to check in, a message to remember. B scans QRcode & approves "together for the moment" as autograph – without installing any app or wallet. A & B share the NFT's multisig & sale.
Instead of checking in landmarks w/ Foursquare or catching monsters with Pokemon Go, celebrities with we.new. Create value out of your social encounters, or be the mayor of your favorite places. Merge physical geo world with shared ephemeral experience.
Instead of the ad-laden and the like-driven web2 of Instagram or Twitter, experiment with the self-assessed tax and quadratic power of radical markets. How would you monetize the love and memories of people you meet in life? Can geospatial NFT serve as the basic income to its community?
Also a great primitive for tying fans, tastemakers, patrons... together for events & classes in DAO. Web3 service marketplaces will build on scalable protocols, mechanism designs, cryptographic privacy, but also as a beautiful product with intimate touch.
Join the product discussion & NFT launch for our #ONEmomentDAO? We allocate $50K initial budget for governors, builders, curators – disrupting #SoLoMo. More, integrate with our 1wallet and daVinci gallery! Burner Wallet with BuffiDAOs at ETHDenver 2020 had great success in executing such a minimal viral product.
