This week was all about Optimism. Sound launched on the L2 and had a calendar packed with drops from top artists. The first release clocked in at over 70,000 mints - by far their most minted song on the platform. FirstMate announced their support of Optimism, powering Sound’s secondary marketplace. Spinamp confirmed that they’ve enabled collecting on Optimism. And Manifold announced that they now support Optimism, making it easy for artists to get their music onchain, and even earn a bonus for trying it out. Our latest podcast episode breaks down how Optimism could change the way we collect music. We’re looking forward to a future of music on L2s. What’s your favorite song being minted on Optimism? Let us know in our Telegram chat for the chance to be featured on our spotlight playlist coming next week!
