Team Kurobi has been building aggressively over the past few months to create the most efficient and user-friendly platform for creators and users looking for seamless ultra-personalised experiences. We are proud to announce that the team’s hard work is now getting the recognition it deserves as Solana Foundation has just awarded the Kurobi team a grant to perfect NFT Timepass development.

A Recognition Reserved for the Best

Solana Foundation is the non-profit foundation body overseeing the Solana blockchain. Among other things, it is in charge of vetting and selecting the most credible and top innovating teams, awarding them grants to help them achieve their creative goals. The foundation chooses infrastructure teams as well as end-user product solutions providers that bring the most value to Solana growth. As true believers in Solana, this stamp of approval is a dream come true for the team Kurobi and a vindication of the unflinching conviction we have that Kurobi will make a massive impact beyond crypto-natives around the world.

About NFT Timepass

NFT Timepass is an NFT-powered ticketing solution that allows creators, performing artists, and professionals to host mass live events on Kurobi, thereby amplifying their earning potential. NFT Timepass is minted on the Solana blockchain. It contains the time and duration of an event as well as information on who is hosting the specified event. They are transferable and can be traded while they are valid or held as collectible memorabilia after an event is held.

Making NFTs Practical

Kurobi is working on making live events beyond efficient, we are making them cooler and fit for this century and beyond. As NFTs continue to capture the imagination of the world, we are working hard to bring practical uses to this brilliant technology, NFT Timepass is an excellent example of that. We are honored to have been chosen for this grant. The team takes Solana Foundation and other interested partners’ confidence seriously and will not rest until NFT Timepass becomes the gold standard for virtual live events of the future.

To express our gratitude to the multitudes that voted for us to win the Solana Season Hackathon for KIN and Regional (Africa) award prizes, we are sending a token of our appreciation in form of KURO rewards to those who voted.
