Road to SXSW: Meet Litemint CEO Fred Rezeau

On our road to SXSW we sit down with Litemint CEO and developer Fred Rezeau. Prior to Litemint NFTs didn't have a platform to live on the network. Since the creation of Litemint we have seen an organic growth of users that until then hadn't been seen. In this quick chat Fred reflects and previews an brand new feature called "unlockable content" that allows artist the ability to attach additional features or promotions easily and effortlessly to their NFT. NFTs could now grant access to events or deliver the rights to a phsyical product.

Litemint charges no additional fee and is the premier NFT store on Stellar.

We're on the Road to SXSW and I've got Kickhouse and Litemint artist Nettie Bella in the studio to discuss how they partnered up to leverage the power of Stellar and NFTs to connect with her clientele base at Kickhouse Studios.

"Birthed during the COVID-19 pandemic, KickHouse has resilience in its DNA and perseverance as a critical differentiator. We encourage our members to grow their strength and resilience through kickboxing.

We know changes don’t come easily so we don’t give up easily. There is fight in this family. The KickHouse family is passionate about constant improvement so if you’re ready to see results, we’re ready for you.

All of the KickHouse workouts are rooted in kickboxing with additional fitness flare in each class type. Kickboxing is accessible to all fitness levels. From beginners to advanced athletes, you’ll see that kickboxing classes torch calories and get you results quickly.

The team behind Task.io bring us their new innovation Blue Marble and show how they utilze Stellar to make an impact by utilizing Stellar Turrets to issue royalites and deliver funds directly to causes and artist on a trackable ledger.
