      As the value of eth goes up and down, the ecosystem is able to mint new EMP in a responsible manner to maintain the emp/eth correlation. investors are able to enjoy high yields normally only found on high-risk assets, but with exposure to eth instead!

      EMP has implemented numerous smart contracts including nodes, detonator & reactor (ROI contracts), yield farming, and other unique economic incentive and game-theory centric dynamics to provide the ultimate passive income earning opportunity.

      AJ Brockman is a long-time crypto veteran and self-made crypto millionaire from early 2017. He’s invested in enough successful and unsuccessful crypto projects to know what it truly takes to succeed.

      AJ is an incredible leader, skilled at the art of putting together exceptional teams of people with all different strengths. He just knows how to assemble the key players needed, to create the best seigniorage projects crypto has ever seen.

      With a real-world business background, AJ knows the value of community, good communication, and what it takes to make a project successful. he founded emp along with a goal of fulfilling his mission of making defi a greater, safer place and creating better defi users.

The collection includes 31 songs, each with unique artwork and varying rarity traits - and "I'm Spottie" token holders which receive a limited copyright license so they can actually monetize the music. His debut album, I’m Spottie, sold out in an impressive 60 seconds, making him over $190,000! Spottie’s success as an independent musician in the NFT space has proven that musicians can successfully monetize their content, while still maintaining accessibility and allowing fans to listen to their music for free.
