How it works

Streaming is the modern radio. The NF-CD is the modern record: an object to collect, and access that travels with it.

  1. The artist sells a numbered card

    A limited run, laser-cut in bamboo, each one engraved with its number. Fans buy it from the artist's shop.

  2. The fan taps it with their phone

    Any NFC-enabled phone. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for. The card is the key.

  3. The artist's world opens

    Unreleased tracks, video, messages, whatever the artist puts behind the card. Hand the card on and the access goes with it.

For artists

A real product your fans can buy, closer to vinyl than to streaming.

We make the cards and host your world. You bring the music and the fans, and keep the relationship with them. Buy a pack of 50 outright for £399, set your own price, and keep everything above what you paid. We review every registration and set you up in the TangiCred Studio (the artist dashboard where the world behind the card is built) when the NF-CD fits your next release.

Verified on every tap

Each card carries its own secure chip. When it is tapped, the page it opens is checked against that card, so access stays with the card and travels with it. Patent pending.

Each card is an individually numbered edition within a limited run. There is no identity lock-in. Possession is the only credential.
