Trading platform Ayoken, which offers NFTs for creatives, has raised $1.4 million in funding.
Funds from Founders Factory Africa, Kon Ventures, Crypto League, R9C Ventures, and Maximus Ventures will be spent on signing exclusive contracts with creatives and team development.
The founder and CEO of the platform, Joshua King, said that in the next few months, the startup would gladden users with NFT collections from leading African performers and artists from around the world. For example, fans will have access to album covers, unreleased tracks, behind-the-scenes videos, and live performances. Moreover, they’ll be able to get discounts on upcoming concerts and VIP passes to stream live audio before it appears on Apple Music, YouTube, and Spotify.
When buying NFT and attracting new people, users will additionally receive bonuses in the form of tokens of the Ayoken platform (AYO). In the future, they can be exchanged for NFTs.
An essential advantage of Ayoken is the presence of influential partners who will help popularize the platform. They will help not only to reach the target audience of artists but also to attract a broader range of users. Thus, the site cooperates with many well-known YouTube bloggers, influencers, crypto exchanges, authors of newsletters, and telecommunications companies. Partners will receive their share based on any transactions during social media advertising campaigns.
