Viacom18's Youth, Music and English Entertainment (YME) cluster is set to enter the rapidly growing space of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), with the launch of a dedicated marketplace named “Fully Faltoo” on February 14. Viacom 18's YME division, which comprises popular brands like MTV, MTV Beats, Vh1, Comedy Central, and Colors Infinity, has roped in NFT ecosystem firm GuardianLink to help set up Fully Faltoo and allow fans the opportunity to own unique digital art pieces and exclusive collectibles from pop culture properties such as Roadies and Bakra.

"This initiative will also mark the extension of the Fully Faltoo franchise that went on from being a show on MTV and a brand solutions studio, to now an NFT marketplace, that will launch its diverse range of digital collectibles," states Viacom in a press release.

The Fully Faltoo marketplace, which will go live at 5pm IST on February 14, will offer “fully valuable” digital art conceptualised and created by the Viacom 18 team. Buyers will also get an added layer of safety with GuardianLink's Anti-RIP NFT technology, meant to ensure security of minting, transferring, and storing NFTs. As is the case with all NFT drops, these collectibles can be purchased across the globe at a set auction price. Users will have to register on the platform to purchase NFTs via a custodian wallet.
