Bollycoin intends to be the world’s biggest Bollywood NFT marketplace, partnering with the greatest producers and personalities in the industry to create iconic and exclusive one-of-a-kind NFTs.
Bollycoin has Atul Agnihotri, Armand Poonawala, Kyle Lopez, Aaliya Kanuga, Karamvir Sachdev and Sujith Somraj on the board, apart from partnering with Arbaaz Khan Productions, Salman Khan Films, Sohail Khan Productions and Reel Life Productions.
The original digital utility token of this ecosystem, BollyCoin, outlines a voting right in the community. It is likely to act as a governance token in non-corporate and non-regulatory matters. The white paper explains that Bollycoins are not meant to be a medium of exchange accepted by the public as payment for goods or services or for the discharge of debt.
Every time an NFT is traded on the marketplace, 10 percent of the sale value of NFT will be credited to BollyCoin holders in the form of BollyCredits, which can be used to buy NFTs on the platform when it goes live.
