Charles Hoskinson To Launch Three-Time Grammy Nominee Paul Oakenfold’s Album On Cardano

The release of smart contracts capability on Cardano has brought with it some interesting projects. Cardano had revealed multiple partnerships over the course of its two-day Cardano Summit. These projects aimed at increasing utilizing the capability of the blockchain to its fullest potential. But before smart contracts had debuted on the platform, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) had been supported.

Cardano network has seen thousands of NFTs being minted. This had been actively encouraged by the developers in order to entice the community into using the blockchain as its default for minting NFTs as opposed to well-established networks like Ethereum and Solana. The latest iteration of the network promoting NFTs on the network has come in the form of founder Charles Hoskinson releasing dance artiste Paul Oakenfold’s album as an NFT on Cardano.

Hoskinson Teams Up With Paul Oakenfold

Celebrities have taken to NFTs like fish to water. From athletes to musicians, NFTs have presented as a new way for public figures to stay connected with their fan base, while also monetizing their image. Now, founder Charles Hoskinson is taking it one step further as he partners with Paul Oakenfiled to release the DJ’s album as an NFT on Cardano.

The announcement was made at the just-concluded Cardano Summit and will cover everything from Oakenfield’s album, down to its cover art and notes. The dance and trance DJ who is of British descent has been nominated for three Grammy Awards over the course of his career and is regarded as a legend in the EDM scene.

Hoskinson has been working closely with the artiste to bring the project to life on the blockchain. The founder believes that blockchain technology is important for the future of the music industry and is interested in how this will work. “Getting to learn about the electronic music industry and how the blockchain can support it has been a revelation,” Hoskinson said.

Bringing Music To Cardano

Oakenfield’s album will not be the first, nor the last, to bring music to the blockchain as NFTs. For Cardano alone, multiple music and music-related acts have brought their talent to the world through the network.

Most notable of these had been the launch of ZZ Top frontman Bill Gibbons’ music NFT collection on the blockchain. Auction for Gibbons’ collection had run in the same time frame as the Cardano Summit, and it included 30-second original jam sessions digital music by Billy Gibbons and one Golden Ticket which conferred a 20-minute one-on-one session with the artiste.

Earlier this month, the blockchain had seen the launch of the first-ever music label to be launched on the blockchain. $GREED is a crypto music label that was launched on the ecosystem as a smart contract.

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for  resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

How Social Platform Chingari is Using Web 3.0 to Transform the Traditional Way We Use Social Media

The world is changing. This isn’t news to anyone, but sometimes it is nice to realize that—contrary to news headlines—not all the change is bad.  In fact, the last decade has seen so much innovation and so many improvements to technology that even 2015 seems like a different world.  Internet speeds, connecting with anyone globally (for free), and our ability to reach large groups of people without a middleman is nothing short of revolutionary. When it comes to technology evolution, this often happens with different iterations.  Once a system is mature, there’s a better idea of what we would like to change and improve.  We go back to the drawing board, target our creative minds at the issues, and create a new version that has evolved to better meet our needs.  The Internet has followed this model since its inception, evolving through three distinct stages.  We are only at the cusp of the third stage, called Web 3.0, with technologies such as blockchain and ...

Osprey alleges its only competitor on the BTC OTC trust asset market gained its 99.5% market share by misrepresenting the likelihood of its trust becoming an ETF. Digital asset manager Osprey Funds filed suit against Grayscale Investments in Connecticut Superior Court on Jan. 30, alleging violation of the state’s Unfair Trade Practices Act.
