New York’s Tribeca Film Festival is using non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to offer VIP passes as digital collectibles.
The festival, which takes place in June, developed the NFTs in partnership with crypto exchange OKX.
The digital collectibles are minted on Ethereum and will offer perks such as special access to film screenings and exclusive events with the festival’s co-founders.
The NFTs cost $899 and can be purchased through the Tribeca website using a credit card or in ether through the OKX NFT marketplace.
The VIP passes are part of a broader partnership with OKX, which signed as the festival’s top sponsor last year.
