July 19, 2022 – Singapore, Singapore
Fellaz, a multi-chain Web 3.0 entertainment ecosystem, announces the upcoming launch of its social media platform for artists and their fanbases. Through months of preparation, the Fellaz team has onboarded notable entertainers and pop stars from Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia and the rest of the world.
In preparation for their launch, the Fellaz team held an exclusive opening event, ‘Fellaz by the Bay’ on July 14, 2022, at Sentosa Island, Singapore. The platform’s chief producer Felix (BAYC#8169) hosted the event, and many notable investors and companies, including Binance, Warner Music Group, Rakuten, GS Ventures, IDEG, JAB Consumer Fund, Norge’s Bank, Krust, Republik, Le Freeport, Coin Hakko and more, were in attendance.
The event revealed several famous K-pop stars, whose combined fanbases top several million. The event also showcased ‘Uptown Boy,’ an original song co-produced by Fantagio and performed by Miu, Fellaz’s first metaverse-native K-pop idol. Lastly, the event coordinators held an auction for exclusive Fellaz merch to support a local cause in Singapore.
Fellaz has the ambitious mission of defining and paving the way for a Web 3.0 entertainment ecosystem. The project will help users from the entertainment industry transition from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 through a Web 3.0 native infrastructure.
Fellaz hopes to empower influencers, artists and fans by providing them the tools to monetize their potential instead of using traditional Web 2.0 platforms that rely on (and sometimes exploit) these fan communities for revenue.
In this new environment, artists and users will have shared ownership over their creations and derivations in the form of immutable NFTs stored on the blockchain. The platform will use a metrics-based compensation system to determine fan participation and contribution. This will lead to an incentivized and sustained fanbase, furthering the artist’s reputation.
Fellaz’s decentralized social media platform will feature individual feeds where artists can post images, videos and audio recordings for their fanbases. Fans can comment, like, mirror (repost) and interact with their favorite artists. They can also purchase subscriptions, which give them access to premium content and platform-native NFTs called Lightsticks.
Fans can gain experience points (XP), and level up their collection of Lightsticks by engaging in a set of actions that show their support. Since Fellaz is a support-to-earn (S2E) platform, fans who level up their Lightsticks will earn more FLZ as they interact with their favorite artists.
Fellaz is also a create-to-earn (C2E) platform, allowing artists to earn FLZ by engaging their fanbase and subscribers with original and premium content.
Fellaz also plans on expanding its platform through a proprietary blockchain ticketing solution for both IRL and metaverse concerts, fan meetings and other related events in entertainment and sports.
In addition, Fellaz will be launching priority minting access to NFTs of their metaverse-native stars, limited edition goods, exclusive airdrops from partners, a live chat feature, personalized NFTs for fanbases and a leaderboard to rank artists much like Billboard does with music artists.
