Tezos is going to the Grammys

Welcome to this week's issue of the Baking Sheet! Let's dive into the latest announcements that happened this past week

Tezos x Grammy

Built on Tezos -- Music NFT platform, OneOf, announce an exclusive Grammy Awards Partnership with The Recording Academy.

Backed by 28-time GRAMMY Award winner Quincy Jones, OneOf and The Recording Academy have teamed up to release exclusive NFTs that will commemorate the 64th, 65th and 66th GRAMMY Awards.

"In considering a NFT partner, we were committed to working with a like-minded organization that had an artist-first approach and we have undoubtedly found that in OneOf," Panos Panay, Co-President of the Recording Academy, said. "As an Academy, we are always looking for ways to help artists discover new forms of creative expression, while also creating new ways of income generation and ways for fans to interact with the artists that they love. OneOf shares that vision, and we are proud to work with a sustainable NFT company."

"For 63 years, the GRAMMYs and the Recording Academy have been the premier representation, celebration and advocacy partner for the artists, songwriters and professionals who create the music we love," OneOf Co-Founders Lin Dai, Adam Fell and Joshua James said. "If used to their full potential, NFTs will empower the music industry in a way few other technologies ever have. It is our great honor to work with this prestigious organization to help shepherd this bright future to the industry."

Tezos x EVE Online

EVE Online, the iconic sci-fi strategy MMORPG from CCP Games, will introduce NFT collectible kills during the Alliance Tournament XVII as teams from across the world compete in the biggest EVE tournament of the year.

CCP Game has chosen the energy-efficient Tezos blockchain on which to mint Kill Certificate NFTs. The character who delivers the final blow will be able to claim the Kill Certificate NFT, which players will then be able to trade and collect.

CCP Games is embracing innovation and sustainability by choosing the Tezos blockchain for their NFTs. Clean NFTs on energy-efficient Proof of Stake networks, such as Tezos, ensures that the impact of this new medium to share creative expression is not offset by unnecessarily high energy consumption. Unlike traditional Proof of Work blockchains, Tezos’ pioneering Proof of Stake mechanism is an energy-efficient approach to securing its network using two million times less energy than competing Proof of Work networks. This allows Tezos to operate cleanly, with minimal energy consumption and a negligible carbon footprint.

The tournament begins the weekend of November 6 and 7 and continues the following weekend with the finals on Sunday, November 14. Learn more about the Alliance Tournament XVII.
