Self-Serve MFTs Announced by Opulous
Music licensing platform Opulous has announced it will now be opening up the service for anyone to create their very own MFTs. MFTs allow artists to mint portions of the rights to songs or albums on the Algorand blockchain so that they can be sold during auctions. This means that an MFT holder will hold part of the rights of the song or album and will earn royalties proportionally. To date, Opulous have been working with established musicians but as of a launch date at some time in 2023, the platform will be open to all artists.
