Oh, what a earth: TikTok is now embracing the decentralized Wild West that is Web3. On Thursday, September 30th, the cultural program that really surpassed a billion monthly active users announced its first NFT set, called TikTok Top Moments. The collection’s purpose, according to media materials, is to let audio fans, public social media users, and influencers unique element of a viral moment in pop culture history.

Twitter is starting points off with a little help from Lil Nas X, a master of viral victory who was first ushered into the limelight when his 2019 hit” Old Town Road” sparked a burst of jokes and modern challenges. Nas will be the first performer to lose his cast of NFTs, which includes a one-of-one gift, along with a few different limited-edition choices, arriving on October 6th.

This project was based on Willingham’s stop-motion stop-motion video tribute to Nas ‘ song” Montero ( Call Me By Your Name )” and was put together by Nas and TikTok creator Rudy Willingham. ( Around three and a half million people are currently viewing the original TikTok video. )

Five different models — produced in collaboration with well-known Blog authors Bella Poarch, Curtis Roach, Brittany Broski, FNMeka, Jess Marciante, and Gary Vee — will follow. TikTok paired Internet stars with artists experienced in creating NFTs. Importantly, Grimes is assisting her real-life companion Poarch, as well as Broski, whose presence in a movie about rank-smelling tea inspired a lake of jokes and earned her more than six million fans. Another included crypto experts include COIN ARTIST, x0r, and RTFKT.

The NFTs may work on the Ethereum blockchain. TikTok plans to make them more eco-friendly by using what’s called” Layer 2″ technology. The one-of-one currencies may be put up for auction, but the limited edition NFTs may be sold at “accessible value points” on a regular basis until the end of October, according to data on the collection’s independent site.

” As the creator economy continues to grow, we’re continually looking for new and differentiated ways to support our creators”, Nick Tran, TikTok’s global head of marketing, said in a statement before highlighting TikTok’s ability to help” shape the internet” and cultivate the Internet’s “most beloved cultural milestones”. More bluntly, a headline on the microsite reads,” OWN A MOMENT THAT BROKE THE INTERNET”.
