Playing a powerful role in the Web3 transformation to a decentralized, blockchain-based online environment, NFTs have brought a new paradigm where artists, musicians, and brands can now directly tokenize, own, and transact their creative works via a NFT marketplace utilizing blockchain technology.
As a Cardano NFT marketplace, Fibo leverages Cardano’s third-generation and environmentally-sustainable blockchain that is fast, verifiably secure, and comes with reasonable transaction fees.

Wyre’s NFT drop “The Lion Collection” will be available in the near future on Fibo and is an expression of his musical journey and his 25 years ongoing in the music industry.
“I always strive to be a trendsetter in my music career and that made me want to venture into the NFT space.

Just like music, NFTs are a very unique way of expressing oneself, telling stories, and passing messages.” – Wyre
