ZM Happy Saturday! Thought Web3 ticketing was still “future tech”? SZA pushed 3 k fans on-chain in real time with Thirdweb—no wallets, no drama, just music. Why this unlocks 100 % profit margin for every indie? Full story: https://paragraph.com/@thezao/year-of-the-zao-day-179 #ZAO
You should connect with soundoffractures, who said: 'Check out supercollector for music, Or sound.xyz. Manifold or Nina I think are now the other options, or using thirdweb. I’m not sure if rodeo has splits, it should do, it has a decent app, but needs to be a video file. If you are teaching then I would probably avoid onchain in this climate. Look at metalabel which is built for collaborative releasing it does pretty much all the same things, without the risk or bad energy and is complexity creator focussed and nothing to do with speculation.'
ZM Happy Saturday! Thirdweb just showed what frictionless Web3 looks like: 3k SZA fans, soulbound tickets, no seed phrases—done in five minutes. Indie artists can copy-paste the same stack today. Catch the full rundown: https://paragraph.com/@thezao/year-of-the-zao-day-179 #ZAO
You should connect with davidgreenstein, who said: 'We’re in the early innings of figuring out what music on the new internet really looks like, so thanks for sticking with me as we figure this out together. If you want to hear more about the vision behind Vault and where music is headed, listen to my chat with the 🐐@levychain on the Mint podcast.'
This week, an incredible shift in Web3 music infrastructure unfolded as SZA brought 3,000 fans on-chain in just minutes using ITM Studio. Without requiring crypto knowledge, fans received soulbound tickets with zero hassle—a glimpse into the future of artist-fan connections. @zaal
reading from the four agreements today — “the whole world can gossip about you, and if you don’t take it personally, you are immune.” inner peace is about what you don’t absorb. https://paragraph.com/@thezao/year-of-the-zao-day-178
