The potential of Alesso’s NFT is immense, and it could change everything from crypto to NFT technology. The NFT collection, ‘Cosmic Genesis’, might just be a game changer within the NFT and music world. Alesso set the stage for the NFT debut leading up to Dreamverse, the first NFT art and music festival.
Cosmic Genesis NFT Decoder
Weeks prior to Dreamverse, fans received secret clues from Alesso through social media and a free NFT decoder that could be claimed from the OneOf NFT marketplace. The codes, once deciphered, unlocked the first chapter of Cosmic Genesis. The complete NFT collection consists of four chapters containing music from EDM DJ and visuals created in partnership with Rough Draft Studios.
From Rave to Space
‘Gold’ was the first chapter of Cosmic Genesis. The other chapters are know as ‘Platinum’, ‘Diamond’, and ‘One Of’. Similar to NFTs from 3LAU and Steve Aoki, each NFT granted the holder exclusive rewards and opportunity to interact with Alesso. The Platinum chapter entered holders into a drawing for tickets to watch the DJ at a live event and a drawing for a chance to meet him in person.
The One Of token (a single edition) winner will receive the ultimate rewards. The holder receives a VIP table to see Alesso at his Las Vegas Residency, a signed copy of the only physical Cosmic Genesis book, and a ticket for a ride to “space”.
The space trip is literally a ride to the earth’s stratosphere in a commercialized balloon based transportation system designed by company World View. The first rides in the balloon will begin in 2024. The trips will last five days and reach 100,000 feet in altitude, giving passengers a view of earth with the darkness of outer space in the background. One additional and lucky Cosmic Genesis NFT holder will be awarded the trip to space through a random drawing.
