The companies will help bring Hart’s content into the Metaverse. 

Accompanying the comedy release is a NFT collection that features Hart and characters in the ‘Confessions from the Hart’ special. The NFTs will serve as an access key to unlock bonus content from ‘Confessions from the Hart’ and to and tickets to Hart’s upcoming comedy tour. Starting on July 7, the 10K NFT collection will be launched on the Kevin Hart Nation website, with a starting price of US$ 65 each, fans can purchase the NFTs using Ethereum or credit cards.

Then there is also the Kevin Hart Nation Wallet, which will allow fans to earn Kevin Hart’s new social token, $HART. Fans can earn HARTs by engaging in social content and can be redeemed for free NFTs and purchase exclusive NFTs and Hart Passes. The Kevin Hart Nation wallet will serve as the gateway to Kevin Hart Nation digital assets and experiences.

Hart said that his favourite thing to do ‘is make people laugh’, and through expanding HARTBEAT into the Metaverse and Web3, they can bring humour and comedy to a brand new audience.  

‘With this new technology we will be able to continue expanding our footprint into the new technological frontiers of content creation,’ and thanked his team for their forward-thinking and genuity.
