The Blockchain: A Revolution You Need to Understand
Milken Institute
The promise of Bitcoin has been overshadowed by its underlying technology, the blockchain. There is great interest from traditional financial firms, which, saddled with decades-old payment infrastructures, are eager to adapt to the digital realities and improve the efficiency, speed and transparency of transactions. Efforts are underway at the national and international levels to study and monitor the blockchain, and a consortium of large international banks is collaborating on how to bring Bitcoin's technology to bear in the financial marketplace. How can this technology deliver for the financial services industry? Can we expect to see widespread use of these new systems in the near future and, if so, how will they change finance? Are we likely to see movement toward private rather than public blockchains, and how will this affect transparency and security?

The DAOWO Sessions: Artworld Prototypes 2021 are the DAOWO Global Initiative’s culmination forging a transnational network of arts and blockchain cooperation with leading international arts and technology institutions and communities in cities around the world. Our ambition is to seed a new decentralised ecology of open source cultural organisations, built by artists embedded in distributed global communities. Designed to activate collaboration across communities, disciplines and sectors, DAOWO (Decentralised Autonomous Organisation With Others) events enable participants to interrogate the benefits and pitfalls of blockchain developments for arts, culture and wider society from local perspectives. Events connect visionary artists, cultural workers and blockchain entrepreneurs, together with local initiatives, communities, institutions and businesses to seek new transnational systems and approaches.
Opulous is the only platform to mint Music Fungible Tokens (MFTs) alongside exclusive Artwork NFTs. Unlike other tokens, MFTs offer buyers a share of a single, EP or album’s music copyright. These groundbreaking tokens will generate monthly royalty revenue and increase in value as an artist’s career progresses. They’re the only music copyright-backed token approved by the SEC. So when artists you invest in earn money - so do you! MFT owners can track this passive income and withdraw their earnings directly from their Opulous account. Plus they’ll be tradable on the upcoming Opulous Exchange.
