What Are Artist Tokens?

Understanding what you're buying in plain English

The Simple Answer

Artist tokens are digital collectibles that represent support for an artist on the BMX platform. They are tracked on BMX's tamper-evident internal ledger, making them verifiable and tradeable at any time.

Think of them like limited-edition digital trading cards for artists — collectible, tradeable, but not investments or securities.
