Fans can buy digital collectibles and own them permanently,\u201d added Haregozlo.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This idea was also backed by Warner Music\u2019s executive Tiago Correia.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAs our lives become increasingly digital, people are expressing their enthusiasm in new and exciting ways. For some this concept is unconventional. For fans who enjoy interacting with stickers and filters, these elements are simply another tool for self-expression,\u201d Correia explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A press release circulated in the media notes that Muse, through the technology, creates a special concert-going experience for fans. During a 2016 tour they deployed autonomous flying drones, and last year \u2014 virtual reality technology.<\/p>\n<p>The tokens released are signed by Muse. Like other &#8216;kittens&#8217;, they can be collected, traded, and sold. The uniqueness of a token can be verified on the blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>In September last year, Warner Music Group became an investor in a Dapper Labs funding round totaling $11.2 million. The startup directed the funds toward the Flow blockchain, which is geared toward gaming, application development, and other digital assets.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to ForkLog on Telegram: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/forkloglive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">ForkLog FEED<\/a> \u2014 the full feed of news, <a href=\"https:\/\/telegram.me\/forklog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">ForkLog<\/a> \u2014 the most important news and polls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dapper Labs, the developer of CryptoKitties, has partnered with Warner Music Group, owner of the rights to the rock band Muse.
