Limewire Revamps as NFT Marketplace Built on Algorand
Now defunct music downloading service LimeWire has this week announced that it is making a comeback now starting an NFT based venture. As part of a suite of new announcements, the company confirmed that it has partnered with Algorand to be its official blockchain partner. The company's site currently notes that its NFT marketplace will officially launch in May 2022 with a public token sale, and launch in the film industry to take place in Q4.
“LimeWire is returning as a platform for artists, not against them,” said New Limewire CEO Julian Zehetmayr.
“On LimeWire, the majority of the revenue will go directly to the artist, and we will be working with creators to allow full flexibility, ownership and control when it comes to their content.”

The Day By Day DAO platform will consist of an insurance marketplace which can be used to insure real-world assets using NFTs.
“The team and I are thrilled to be building on Algorand and look forward to immersing ourselves in the Algorand Community,” said Day By Day founder and CEO, Bill Angelidis.
“Our grant not only enables us to build out Day By Day, but to be a special part of building out Algorand globally.”
“There’s great excitement but also great responsibility that comes with being the first of a kind, which I think is why Algorand and Day By Day will work so well together.”
