Полигон: партнерство са Варнер Мусиц Гроуп

ЛГНД је најавио а multi-year partnership with Warner Music Group (WMG) and Polygon Companies. 

The partnership will cover the creation of LGND Music, an innovative platform dedicated to music and collectibles with a proprietary player. This will enable the playback of so-called “Virtual Vinyls.” 

Selected WMG artists will thus launch digital collectibles on both the app and desktop platform to offer fans the opportunity to enjoy special content and experiences. The platform will be built on Polygon, so as to offer cheaper fees and faster transactions.

LGND Music will officially launch in January 2023, and will include a collaboration with WMG’s famous dance record label Spinnin’ Records. 

LGND builds interactive and e-commerce platforms based on blockchain and NFTs through user-friendly technology. 

ВМГ

Warner Music Group is a group of artists, songwriters and entrepreneurs operating in more than 70 countries. WMG’s Recorded Music division includes record labels such as 300 Entertainment, Asylum, Atlantic, Big Beat, Canvasback, Elektra, Erato, First Night, Fueled by Ramen, Nonesuch, Parlophone, Reprise, Rhino, Roadrunner, Sire, Spinnin’, Warner Records, Warner Classics, and Warner Music Nashville. 

WMG’s publishing branch, Warner Chappell Music, has more than one million copyrights in its catalog in every genre of music, from Great American Songbook standards to 21st century greatest hits. 

Despite its more than 20 years of experience in the industry, it has also long since begun experimenting with new solutions, thanks, for example, to its WMX division for next-generation artists, which also includes Songkick, or the live music app; EMP, the merchandising e-tailer; UPROXX, the youth culture destination; and HipHopDX, the hip-hop music news site, among others.

Мрежа Полигона

Polygon is the main layer 2 of Ethereum, Омогућавајући scalability, convenience, and security for Web3 projects. 

Polygon’s scalability solutions already have widespread adoption, with tens of thousands of decentralized apps, nearly 175 million active addresses, and over $5 billion in total assets. It hosts some of the largest Web3 projects, such as Aave, Uniswap, OpenSea and well-known companies such as Robinhood, Stripe and Adobe. 

Its token, MATIC, is now among the top ten in the world by market capitalization, with over $7.8 billion, ahead of Polkadot’s DOT, Litecoin, and Shiba Inu. 

Today its price is down due to a widespread decline in crypto markets, but in the last week it had risen as high as $0.94 from the $0.82 at the end of November. 

In early November it had risen as high as nearly $1.3, but the колапс ФТКС-а had then brought it back to late October levels. 

Its current price is 69% below its all-time high in December last year, but is well above its mid-May high after the имплозија екосистема Терра/Луна. 

It is worth noting though, that in late 2020, which was before the start of the last big bull run, it was below $0.03, so compared to then it is still about thirty times higher.

„Веб3 има моћ да трансформише музичку индустрију и за уметнике и за фанове.
