Mastercard ∞ Musicians 🎶

GM Guys and Gals,

Music is something that binds almost everyone - 8 Billion people on this planet 🤯. We vibe on music every single day and here's Mastercard trying to vibe the space up by supporting some new Gen musicians 🎸 by partnering 🤝 with the Polygon Network.

Let's Vibe 🎧

Global payments giant Mastercard is ramping up its exposure blockchain tech yet again, after announcing a Polygon-based accelerator program to help musicians build their careers via Web3. 

Global payments giant Mastercard is ramping up its exposure blockchain tech yet again, after announcing a Polygon-based accelerator program to help musicians build their careers via Web3.

"The artists will gain exclusive access to special events, music releases and more. A first-of-its-kind curriculum will teach the artists how to build (and own) their brand through Web3 experiences like minting NFTs, representing themselves in virtual worlds and establishing an engaged community." - official statement from Mastercard.

The program will culminate with a live-streamed artist showcase later in the year 🪐.

Mastercard is also launching a non-fungible token (NFT) collection called the "Mastercard Music Pass" for those that aren't selected for the program. The aim is to provide holders with educational materials and "unique resources" through brand collaborations to help budding musicians learn about the Web3 integrations with the music sector.

Polygon Studios CEO Ryan Watt noted that “Web3 has the potential to empower a new type of artist that can grow a fanbase, make a living, and introduce novel mediums for self-expression and connection on their own terms."

The platform is slated to launch later this month and will allow users stream music and collect and trade music NFTs.

That's it for the day, We Wish you a healthy Vibin 🎧
