What is Collaborative Economy?

  • A Collaborative Economy empowers NFT Holders across collections to become collaborators and active participants in the creation and monetization of new works.
  • A Collaborative Economy empowers creators/owners to enhance the value of their projects by unleashing a marketplace of third-party creators who can offer collectors new forms of content, collaboration, utility, and monetization.

What is a Performer?

A Performer (Performative Token or PFT) is an NFT that holds a Signature of a certain type, e.g. Music Signature:

NFT + Signaturemusic = Performer

What is a Signature?

A Signature is a set of numbers derived from the cryptographic hash of the NFT's unique identifier.

  • A Signature defines an NFT's properties for a given type.
  • Signatures can be of different types, e.g. music, art, game, movie, poetry, etc.
  • A Signature must be claimed to make your NFT a Performer.
  • Claiming a Signature means registering it on the blockchain.
  • Signatures are NFT bound and are not transferable separate from the NFT.
  • Signatures enable NFTs to create performances.

Claim your Signature

If you own an NFT from one of the following collections you can claim your Orchestral Music Signature here.

  • The maximum number of Orchestral Music Signatures that can be claimed across all collections is 10,000.
  • There is a fee for claiming a Signature, 90% of which is paid to the Signature creator. A 10% royalty is paid to the creator of the original NFT collection.

What is a Performance?

A Performance is an algorithmically generated piece of music, work of art, game, poem, etc. based on the input from two or more Signatures.
  • A Performer can create a Performance by hiring another Performer for a fee.

    • Performer1music + Performer2music = Performance1level1

  • Performances can be expanded and altered by hiring other Performers. Adding Performers levels up the Performance.

    • Performance1level1 + Performer3music = Performance1level2

Mint your Performance

Only one performance per Signature can be minted but the minted Performance can be leveled up or altered many times. Performer pays a performance fee to the Hired Performer and claims ownership of the Performance.

Claim your Ordinal

Once you've minted your Performance the generated Pas de deux will be inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain. You need to provide a Bitcoin wallet address here to receive it.

Every time you level up or alter your Performance, those updates will be visible in the inscribed Ordinal.

Interconnected Metaverse

An Interconnected Metaverse is a network of interoperable NFTs.

  • It creates immutable links between diverse NFTs facilitating interaction and economic exchange.
  • It is powered by Congruence relation.
  • An NFT is congruent to another NFT when they both have the same type of Signature.

    • NFT1sig1 ≡ NFT2sig2 (Signaturetype)

  • Performers facilitate an interconnected Metaverse and a Collaborative Economy.
  • Owning Signatures of different types enable an NFT to express its range of interests. Performances solidify its reputation.
  • Performers create communities based on interests.
