Sound opened to all artists along with a $20m Series A. We broke it all down in our Twitter Space yesterday.The Box went live on Decent. Showtime dropped their new app and Bello redesigned their homepage. wavWRLD launched the wavGAME. Bonfire added support for the Zora and Sound on Optimism. Google Play now allows NFTs to be included in apps and games. The market feels to have hit a turning point - excitement for crypto is back more generally - and we’re curious to see if that trickles down to onchain music. With projects like ORIGINS on the horizon early next week, it’s up to be quite the summer.
