Through the
minting of full non-fungible token (NFT)
subdomains, domain owners will also be
able to open an NFT namespace that
will allow them to create new kinds of
digital objects like music, concert
tickets, merchandise and more. These
integrated domains will also enable
publishing on the user-controlled Web3
Cortex Network with content hosted on
IPFS (InterPlanetary File System), a
decentralized peer-to-peer file system for
managing data. On these integrated Web3
blockchain domains, users will be able to
publish just about anything they’d
typically publish on a traditional Web2
website or social media platform, but within
the blockchain framework, opening up new
opportunities for monetization, ownership,
and community-building. |

Ajene Watson,
Managing Director of Dot Hip Hop, LLC,
noted, “As my partner, Monte Cahn,
will often stress, .HipHop Websites, .HipHop
email addresses and now other types of .HipHop
digital assets in Web3, offer creators more
control and full ownership over content,
user data, and fan interaction. The .HipHop
domain extension is an immediate identifier
that a platform and its creator are part of
the community and global multinational
culture of Hip Hop. The web3 layer would
provide users of the .HipHop extension with
an additional financial tool to
generate, collect and protect the money
earned from their talents. Web3 tools like
this further support artist independence
while advancing the community’s effort to
reclaim Hip Hop as its birthright." August
has been a very busy month for the .HipHop
team. In addition to on this project, the
registry crew has spent much of the month in
New York City, taking part in a
variety of events they sponsored to support
the 50 Years of Hip Hop celebration
in the city where the world changing genre
was born.

On August 11, New York City Mayor Eric
Adams hosted a celebration of 50 years
of Hip Hop at Gracie Mansion,
honoring some of the pioneers including MC
Sha-Rock, Coke La Rock,
Kool Herc, Ralph McDaniels,
and DJ Red Alert. .HipHop
gifted each of the honorees with their own .HipHop
domain names.

Of
course, of you want to be seen in New York
City, Times Square is the place to be
and .HipHop had that base covered too. You can
