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.”

The River of Emeralds
Golden conditions at one of my favorite locations in the Rockies. The light, the colors, the textures; what more can you ask for? I just loved the way this river flowed into the sunset and the mountains in the background. It's rare you find a scene as perfect as this one. But when you do, you have to take advantage of it.
Crossroad
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.
The Dark City
What if all the constraints of a physical world disappear, and we are left with a database of attributes - information that determines the properties of environments. Can we envision spatial conditions that are governed by digital physics? Nowadays, with the technology of artificial lighting, we remove the unique conditions that darkness offered to us – the ability to hide, the oblivion. In the Dark City, there is a totally different sensual experience. Noises are suddenly amplified, the smell becomes stronger and we totally rediscover the sense of touch.
