22/07/2021 Tom Brady’s NFT platform Autograph partners with Lionsgate, DraftKings

Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is beefing up his NFT platform Autograph with deals to launch movie content with Hollywood studio Lionsgate and sports-related tokens with sports betting site Draftkings.

The startup is also adding a slew of big-name athletes to its advisory board, including Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretsky, Derek Jeter, Naomi Osaka and Tony Hawk.

NFT stands for non-fungible token, a unique digital asset that has risen in popularity as a collectible, like a digital stamp. NFTs can come in many forms, such as trading cards, works of art, musical performances or movie stills — and have been selling for millions of dollars in some cases. 

Hollywood studio Lionsgate said Wednesday that it will launch NFTs in conjunction with Autograph tied to blockbuster films like “John Wick,” “Twilight,” “The Hunger Games,” “Mad Men” and “Dirty Dancing.”

The first entertainment properties will hit this fall, according to Lionsgate executive vice president and global live interactive head Jenefer Brown, who added that NFTs “present a tremendous opportunity for mixed-reality world building experiences.”

Autograph will then debut its first sports-related NFTs tied to DraftKings Marketplace, an e-commerce site that lets people with a Draftkings account buy, sell and trade digital collectibles.

“The NFT boom has reinvented the collectibles industry and driven excitement to early-adopting audiences worldwide,” said Matt Kalish, DraftKings co-founder and president. “This initial vision in collaboration with Autograph… is a vital first step as we enter the emergent NFT market.”

Interesting NFTs
Right Place & Right Time (bitcoin hourly price offset)
Each day, a new composition for the Master is generated autonomously using a data feed of Bitcoin's last 24 hours of price action. Each hour's price programmatically controls rotation, scale, and position of a correlating layer. Astute viewers will surmise the day's price volatility simply by examining the artwork. While the daily image generation is the result of autonomous API calls, utilizing an algorithm the artist wrote, the artist has chosen to retain a control token. This token allows him to fine-tune variables associated with his algorithm, in addition to addressing aesthetic concerns within the life-cycle of the artwork. Layer state, alpha, hue, saturation, and brightness are elements the artist has retained control of in order that this artwork remain a living work-in-progress. An earlier iteration of this artwork was featured as a nightly projection mapping video on the face of the Daniels Fisher Clocktower, as part of ETH Denver 2020. Access to this and additional exclusive content awaits the master token owner at the artist's NFT Portal: https://collect.mattkane.com/minted-works/right-place-right-time-bitcoin-hourly-price-offset/

LIMITED EDITION 1/1 | includes signed limited edition prints of all 3 states (pre-election, Trump win, Biden win) This piece is a first for Nifty, a token that will change based on the outcome of the election. If anything is constant about the times we now live in, it's uncertainty. This uncertainty is perfectly encapsulated in this piece of artwork as the person buying the piece will not know the final artwork. The artwork will be one state at auction before the election, and after the results of the election are known, will forever change to reflect a Trump or Biden win. PLEASE FUCKING NOTE: If trump wins, this token will change to that video of sexy boi king trump stomping through hell FOREVER. I don’t want you coming back to me bitching that you spent $2M* on this and now it’s a video of orangeman going HAM and it’s keeping u up at night popping mad boners. should have voted bruh. *and stfu that this isn’t gonna be worth a fuckton more when I hit 30 years of everydays and have a permanent collection in the MOMA. smh.
