Description
As a community, we are entering an exploration phase to review different adoption cases for this new consumption and communication tendencies. In this context, the opportunity arises to adjust the balance towards certain segments that, due to lack of proper channels, have been exploited for the last few decades. We seek to promote an ethical and conscious evolution of virtualization and decentralization.
The commercialization scheme linked to musical NFTs is in a speculative stage. The real value that it offers for users turns out to be quite confusing once we dig deeper and try to go beyond the resale possibilities and the warranty that the image associated with them provides.
We aim to develop an ecosystem that provides the stimulus of a scalable and sustainable bond between creators and audiences through their interaction in Decentraland. The social element will be the engine that powers our marketplace, where exclusive content and presentations of our curated catalog of creators will provide added value to the participants. Also, each user will be able to manage a crate or personalized library that will allow him or her to showcase their assets in the platform as well as in our virtual district, promoting a sense of owning a unique collection, user interaction and direct financing from communities to creators.
Our multidisciplinary team is composed by professionals that specialize in all key areas of the productive chain: from musicians to engineers, producers, creatives, developers and a vast array of resources and capacities joined together by the passion of linking music with technology, as well as the desire to contribute to the development of interactions and flow of energy in the shape of information that Decentraland and the whole crypto ecosystem provides.

Specification
BeatBlox Muisc District:
Our primary goal is to keep developing the possibilities offered by the Metaverse, with our district in Decentraland being the main focus of the BeatBlox expansion. We seek to develop an ecosystem that allows artists to create additional revenue and distribution channels, while enabling a more deep connection with their audiences. There, users will be able to engage in expanded experiences such as virtual concerts, events, NFT auctions, gamified content and educational resources that will contribute to reduce the margin of adoption.
BeatBlox Music District stays loyal to the principle of content care in regards to aesthetics and overall quality of the artwork. This is at the core of every idea developed, from the stores to the interactive installations and NFT associated services. We are creating strategic alliances with music and blockchain fields referents for the development of user focused experiences and content. By doing this, we aim to further promote and encourage the adoption and use of Decentraland.

BeatBlox Marketplace and Academy:
By using Polygon and reducing minting costs significally, we have succesfully implemented a NFTs sales and distribution system that allows floor prices as low as USD 1. We also gave birth to a concept in its entirety for our Decentraland district.
In this opportunity, we are reaching out to the community for helping us to strength the development, the promotion and the scalability of an integral platform. This will add value to users in the metaverse, while helping to reduce adoption barriers for new participants
This platform will be leveraged by a marketplace with expanded social functionalities, a curated catalog to ensure high quality standards and an Academy to support the adoption of new technologies linked to a further democratized access for artists and users to the vast opportunities that this technology provides.
