According to LimeWire, “Every post you share on LimeWire automatically becomes a digital collectible for each of your subscribers to own. If you have 300 subscribers, each post will consist of 300 digital collectibles. As your fans trade your collectibles, you earn a 2.5% royalty fee on every resale.” This underscores LimeWire’s roots in the NFT space, with all collectibles being minted on the blockchain. However, the acquisition of BlueWillow indicates LimeWire’s strategic shift towards a broader user base and diversification beyond non-fungible tokens.
While currently limited to text-to-image generators, the AI Studio section of LimeWire’s website promises upcoming options for video and audio content creation, including the integration of BlueWillow’s AI-powered models.
The financial details of the BlueWillow acquisition have not been disclosed. Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that members of the BlueWillow team will not be joining LimeWire, leaving open questions about the future of the AI graphic design software and its pricing model after the transition period. This acquisition marks a pivotal moment in LimeWire’s journey, signaling a shift from its notorious past to a creative and innovative future.
