Creative Validation with UREEQA

Elmond from UREEQA shares how blockchain is redefining creative ownership and unlocking new opportunities for musicians and artists. He explains UREEQA's unique validation process, which helps creators verify authorship, establish provenance, and confidently monetize their work through NFTs. With tools like individual staking and batch timestamping, artists can avoid outdated systems like traditional copyright offices. Smart contracts and responsibly minted NFTs promise to streamline royalties, improve transparency, and offer fans more meaningful ways to engage with art. UREEQA isn’t just about protection, it’s about empowering creatives to build lasting communities around their work.

For students exploring NFTs and web3, Elmond encourages starting small and learning steadily. He emphasizes that real success comes not from hype but from authenticity and connection. Building a career as a creator doesn't require millions of followers—just a few hundred true fans who value the work and story behind it. As the industry shifts, Web2 institutions like ASCAP and BMI may adapt rather than disappear, integrating smarter blockchain-based systems. The key is to ask thoughtful questions, study the business side of creativity, and stay open to new models that reward both creators and their audiences.
