Part of NextName’s history, not our current business.

From 2022 to 2024, NextName operated a digital collectibles platform supporting college athletes’ NIL. We’ve preserved that work here for the record. Today’s NextName is a fan engagement platform built around channel subscriptions, premium content, and direct creator tips. Not collectibles.
