Ayoken, founded by Joshua King and launched on the 9th of December, 2021, aims to be the world’s leading platform for buying digital collectibles and social tokens from major musicians and creatives. It was established to serve as a platform where users get global access to exclusive digital collectibles from global creatives. Ayoken is a UK-registered business whose team members are located in the UK, South Africa, Nigeria, and France.
With a plan to onboard millions of users globally, its mission is to support creatives to launch everything from album art to digital collectibles and utility-driven social tokens. Ayoken’s vision is to see that there is a real-world adoption of digital collectibles powered by blockchain technology. However, the platform also has a 3-year goal of partnering with the world’s most innovative people to bring digital collectibles to the masses.
features of Ayoken
As mentioned earlier, Ayoken is the platform where users get global access to exclusive digital collectibles from creatives. Below are some of its features.
Community Chat and Tipping: Users can discuss upcoming and existing drops with each other on the platform and have the ability to tip creatives. Tips are in form of the native AYO token.
Creative Royalties: Creatives will earn royalties for their work, and be able to withdraw this to their bank accounts when their work is purchased by users via debit card. Creatives will be able to withdraw their earnings in cryptocurrencies to a wallet of their choice.
Batch Minting: From PFP generative art drops to collectible card sets, creatives will be able to upload media and select quantities.
Set Completions: Creators are also able to reward their most passionate fans when they complete competitions and collectible sets.
Utility & Physical Products: Provide meaningful utility for the tokens your fans purchase, driving an increase in the value of your digital collectibles. Pair digital collectibles with physical products for limited edition drops.
Timed Drops: Generate excitement and anticipation for your upcoming auction, sale, or giveaway.
How Does this NFT marketplace Work?
With the increase in digital developments in the creative industry, Ayoken has decided to bring artists closer to their fans. On Ayoken, creators will be able to see which fans have engaged the most with their art. They can also reward them with a high valuable collectible or social token. Fans, on the other hand, are able to claim creators’ collectibles using their email addresses or social accounts. Sounds like a win for both creatives, and their fans.
Talking about their NFT marketplace for creatives, KiDi released an NFT in collaboration with Ayoken on the 13th of June, 2022. I believe this is a huge step in their support for creatives. I also believe it is an opportunity for African creatives to tap in to. The world is rapidly becoming more digitally inclined and African artists will benefit greatly from a platform like this.
The Ayoken NFT marketplace has also had collaborations with other tech companies like NFT Kred and a strategic partnership with Goldfingr. The platform holds promising prospects for the creative industry.
Are you a creative and wish to explore digital opportunities to reach a global audience regardless of your niche? Then Ayoken is for you.
