Los Angeles, CA – (October 4 2023) – Independent film studio and award-winning marketing platform Æon Forty Eight LLC today announced that after an extensive period of research and prototyping, it is adopting IOTA 2.0, a protocol designed to provide digital autonomy for all. This strategic collaboration follows the recent union of three leading IOTA-powered ecosystem protocols: Soonaverse, Iotabee, and TangleSwap, all aimed at ushering fee-free NFT creation into the ever-expanding IOTA community.
Unlocking Creative Potential with Soonaverse
With the adoption of IOTA 2.0, A48 associates throughtout the arts and entertainment, mindfulness, and wellness sectors can be directly involved with every aspect of their NFTs, from minting and pricing to exclusive airdrops. Soonaverse, the brainchild of visionary performers, artists, and crypto art pioneers, is the longest-running IOTA-based digital art marketplace.
Creators partnering with A48 enjoy a host of innovative features integrated into their NFT minting process. These include exclusive membership in the Soonaverse Hub, category-specific airdrops, and members-only offers that promise to enhance the NFT creation and trading experience.
A Paradigm Shift in NFT Marketplaces
Daniel Metcalf, a twenty-three-year marketing veteran and the owner of A48, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “Soonaverse was founded in response to significant flaws in the greater digital arts and entertainment industries: inequitable artist compensation, inflated fees, and the environmental impact of NFTs. Soonaverse takes no commission from creators, compared to the 30-50% charged by other platforms and auction houses. Buyers, sellers, and creators can finally mint and trade NFTs with zero marketplace fees.”
A Bright Future for Soonaverse
With Iotabee and TangleSwap collaborating in this venture, the future holds exciting possibilities for the Soonaverse platform. Upcoming capabilities include the expansion of editing tools, digital twins, sets, builders, staking mechanisms, P2E compatibility, and much more.
A Commitment to Community and Wellbeing
In addition to technological advancements, A48 and Soonaverse share a commitment to community and wellbeing. “As excited as we are to offer digital asset ownership to our associates, whether they are artists, performers, or collectors themselves, we are just as impressed by the Soonaverse’s consciousness-based, community-focused initiatives,” concluded Metcalf, whose first theatrical film as associate producer, the official reboot of Foxy Brown creator Jack Hill‘s 1967 cult classic Spider Baby, will see its Southern California red carpet premiere October 31st. “The Mental Health and Wellness for Artists initiative is inspired by Jungian therapy, color therapy, and Transcendental Meditation, and champions art as a path to increase emotional intelligence and mental health sensitivity.”
This collaboration represents a pivotal moment in the NFT and digital art space, where technology, art, and community intersect to create a brighter and more inclusive future for creators and collectors alike.
