Owner of Patron Token needs something more than title. Tangible recognition. Patron Slots utility connect musical track from streaming service with patron’s wallet, name and socials.

When ownership change, I will update my music with new patron’s profile.

Current Slots:

• Youtube (patron links currently non-clickable)

  • The Shapers

Patronage Tiers

Artist's integrity matter. That’s why I must choose what tier Patron belongs to.

Tier 1: One slot

Slot: Wallet address that link to generic web3 explorer. Generic means that website has no possibility to publish content. Something like etherscan.

Requirements: wallet cannot be connected with illegal activities or tagged as bad actor in public services.

Tier 2: One slot with marketplace link

Slot upgrade: Link could point to allowed web3 NFT website (currently: established marketplaces).

Requirements: Owner cannot use NFT to scam people and publish pornographic or dangerous content.

Tier 3: Extra personalized slot

New option for first slot: web3 domain and link to social media/content-based web3 website.

Extra slot: name/pseudonym + link to profile in socials, user-generated content platform or aggregator.

Requirements: Only humans. Cannot sell politics, promote dangerous activities and other things I don’t want to have anything in common with. This tier is more subjective and selective, because promotion by name and socials become more intimate.

If your name is big, wallet must be verified (something like ENS profile or just posting wallet for some time in socials).

Your links must be at least “safe for work”.

Tier 4.1: Special events

There could be some events connected with albums. The one I'm sure about: album release. Token owners that pass 3. tier during release will become remembered as people that made this thing happen. Date will be announced in advance.

In my first album there are maximum 5 mints. So five people could get extra thanks from me. I'm planning some nontradable NFT, posts and names in album files. If I go physical (don't plan this now, but who know what will happen), artwork with names also will be there.

Tier 4.2: Eternal Patrons

I want to create extension for this system. Patrons that pass 3. tier will get option to eternally lock token. Turning them non-tradable, will give patronage more traditional properties. Just like in old times, when masterpieces was funded so now we know names of supporters who make them happen.

It’s more than ideas

My main focus is free and open-source protocols/contracts/tools development. When my tools grow big, I will also ;)

If you are artist and interested to become precursor in utilizing web3 patronage, feel free to contact me. Your next NFT release could be compatible with cross-collectional tokens.
