Travis Barker and Aitch are among the big names set to launch a new NFT collection with LimeWire

LimeWire is rebranding itself to a music-based NFT hub, and a crypto marketplace.

The controversial file sharing service was ordered to shut down in 2010 after a court injunction was issued by the U.S. Federal Court.

Travis Barker and his Blink-182 bandmates are reportedly very excited by the news. He says he has always been interested in the world of NFTs, and is “stoked” to be releasing his first.

“LimeWire presents a new commercial opportunity for artists of all sizes and genres to engage with their fans, gain more exposure in a unique way and retain more of their earnings.”

The peer-to-peer file sharing platform is giving music fans the chance to buy and trade a variety of collectibles, including limited edition releases and unreleased demos.

The company says it wants to bring “digital collectibles into the mainstream”.

New collections will be added in the coming weeks.
