Akoin, the cryptocurrency and decentralized app ecosystem developed by popular music artist Akon, has partnered with Roll, a blockchain platform that enables creators to develop their own branded digital currency unique to their online presence.

It will use Akoin's strong network of connections to help creators launch their own social money through which they can nurture, grow, and develop their communities.

"We couldn't be more excited about partnering with Roll, the industry leader in bringing creators all over the world into the revolutionary world of social money, this is a gamechanger in terms of creator empowerment and community building and activation through the power of blockchain and social money."

Creators on Roll mint the so-called "Social money" to own, control, and coordinate the value they create across the web.

Akoin and Akon will use their brand to help turn the concept of social money into a global phenomenon.

Global artists, creators, and thought leaders will also be able to join Akon's own Akoin-endorsed Roll channel, the release stated.

At press time, Roll works with over 260 creators and has created over a quarter billion dollars of market value using social money.

Social money on Roll has created seven, eight, and nine-figure markets for digital communities, giving users a stake in the success of the communities they helped to build.

Akon's experience of developing the Akoin brand using his status as an artist is a strong example of how creators can develop and grow their own social money, demonstrating the power of giving value to assets using blockchain technology, the release noted.

Each creator who joins the Akoin-endorsed Roll channel will be able to allocate a percentage of their newly-minted social money to help develop and launch more UN-backed Akoin-Effect Opportunity Hubs.
