What is vinylkey?
Vinylkey® is a vinyl record pressed with a unique visual pattern and an embedded NFC computer tag. Using your phone to tap the record, like doing tap to pay, will display the proof of authenticity and proof of ownership. It's an album onchain!
What does the music fan experience?
The fan purchases their favorite artist's vinylkey® album from a store, merch table, website, auction, etc.
The fan can then use their phone to tap the embedded NFC chip and is sent to a web page for the album and onchain authenticity, showing photos of the vinyl record and owner info.
Why is this great for the artist?
A New Limited/Special Product to Offer. The album info is stored onchain to prove the limited quantity. The artist chooses how many are pressed.
Royalties From Used/Resale. Since the transaction happens onchain, each sale moves through a smart contract that can reward the artist and the seller.
Fan Connections. Since the transaction is onchain, the owner is always registered.
Anti-counterfeiting. With the album registered onchain, an attempted counterfeit is easy to spot.
Sell as physical or digital. The artist can choose to sell it as a digital or as a vinyl album at merch tables, websites, or stores. Read more on selling methods.
