Afterparty has raised $3 million for its nonfungible token (NFT) platform for creators to engage with their fans and generate better revenues.

It’s part of its plan to enable a “creator economy,” where people make a living from streaming. Afterparty is making it easy for streamers and other creators to fashion their own social tokens based on NFTs, which use the transparency and security of the digital ledger of blockchain to authenticate unique digital items. That enables creators to issue NFT tokens to their fans.
