Pop music duo the Chainsmokers plan to release nonfungible tokens that will give fans a cut of the streaming royalties from their new album, “So Far So Good.”

The 5,000 NFTs will be given out for free on May 17, with a VIP list made up of frequent concert ticket buyers and other superfans getting early access. Holders are entitled to a collective 1% of the “So Far So Good” royalties, the group announced Thursday.
