We might be in the middle of an NFT bear market, but that isn’t seeming to slow down young platform OneOf from continuing to make new collaborative efforts. The sustainability-focused platform continues it’s tear of new established partners, this time with award-winning artists Ziggy Marley.
Let’s look at what we know from the new partnership as their upcoming NFT collection release date approaches.
NFTs That Give BackAccording to a press release obtained by Bitcoinist, Ziggy and OneOf will release their initial collection on October 17 – Ziggy’s birthday. The release is expected to feature an unreleased demo version of Marley’s single, “Beach In Hawaii.” The eight-time GRAMMY winner will also be released a variety of ‘IRL experiences’ with the NFT release, too. That is slated to include physical goods, like a signed guitar and lifetime access to Ziggy’s headlining shows, as well as more collaborative and intimate experiences, such as the opportunity to create a collaborative merchandise release (where the winner retains 50% of royalties generated from the merch drop).
Not only are Ziggy and OneOf rolling out unique experiences, but proceeds are set to go towards a good cause, too. NFT sale proceeds will go to Ziggy’s charitable organization, the U.R.G.E. Foundation (which stands for Unlimited. Resources. Giving. Enlightenment.) – which supports education and health for children in the Marley’s home country of Jamaica.
