- Big news: Sound will soon be open to all artists 🔊
We always promised to build an open platform.
Now we’re getting close…
A thread 👇
From day one we promised that Sound would eventually open to everyone.
All artists should have access to the best Web3 tools.
We’ll have more details soon, but today we wanted to give you some transparency on the thought process behind opening up…
🔶 The tl;dr
Before Sound opens, we need to make sure everything is ready:
1. Smooth onboarding process
2. Building features for a mass audience.
3. Battle testing the platform.
4. Do things that don’t scale.
5. Verifying audio ownership
6. Thank you for being patient 🙏
Let’s go through them…
🔶 1. Smooth onboarding
So far we have personally onboarded all 400 artists one-by-one on video calls. By doing this we learned all the pain points and deeply understood who we are building for.
Now we can turn that process into seamless onboarding for all artists.
🔶 2. Building features for mass audience
We are thinking big. Sound needs to be ready for millions of music fans and tens of thousands of artists. That means building features that work at scale, such as:
🔹Simplifying the user experience
Email sign-ups
Credit card payments
Mobile app
🔹Building a discovery layer
Better ways to discover music on Sound beyond the first 24-hours of a drop.
And the ability to browse through thousands of artists.
🔹Sustainable drop methods
Offer an alternative to the ‘sellout’ mentality.
We wanted to give artists a sustainable, long-term way to sell their music, which is why we built Sound Swap.
These features are rolling out to all artists over the coming weeks.
🔶 3. Battle testing the platform
To get to the point where we’re ready for millions of music fans, we needed to stress test every part of the platform and iterate fast.
Working closely with a curated group of artists allowed us to do that and get feedback in real time. Together we’ve experimented with hundreds of features and honed the product until it's ready.
We figured out what works.
What didn’t work.
We refined it.
Now we can roll it out to everyone.
🔶 4. Doing things that don’t scale
A core principle of building a startup is doing things that don’t scale.
We onboarded every artist with a white-glove service.
We hosted daily Twitter Spaces to showcase artists.
We tweeted about every drop.
We spoke to artists and collectors every single day.
All of these things were essential for kickstarting the flywheel. Now there’s enough momentum that Sound can accelerate on its own.
🔶 5. Verifying audio ownership
Opening up Sound will bring new challenges for our team… For example, what happens if someone uploads music that doesn’t belong to them?
We’ve been building tools to counter this problem (such as audio footprint technology). We also wanted to focus all our resources on the core product rather than fighting legal issues at such an early stage.
🔶 6. Thank you for being patient
We know that hundreds of artists have applied to Sound and waited patiently. We hear your feedback about decentralization. Trust that we’ve been working towards this from day one and we’re nearly there.
Within three months every artist will have access to Sound and all our artist tools. The next era of music NFTs is coming. Thanks for coming on this journey with us.

- CryptoGPT raises funds at a $250 million token valuation
[✅ Follow and ✅Mirror to get 0.1WMATIC ]
QUICK TAKE
CryptoGPT announced raising $10 million from DWF Labs at a $250 million token valuation.
But only $420,000 of the total amount has thus far been invested by DWF Labs, CryptoGPT co-founder and CTO Dejan Erja told The Block.
Full:
CryptoGPT, a zero-knowledge layer 2 blockchain network attempting to leverage the success of artificial intelligence, announced raising $10 million in a Series A funding round from DWF Labs at a $250 million token valuation.
But only $420,000 of the total amount has thus far been invested by DWF Labs, CryptoGPT co-founder and CTO Dejan Erja told The Block. DWF Labs began investing last week and the rest of the amount will be invested over 285 days, Erja said.
"DWF Labs follows the vesting schedule that's outlined in our tokenomics. The investment is done over a 285-day period, aligning with the vesting of those tokens," he added.
As part of the deal, DWF Labs, a web3 investment firm that is also a market maker, will also make market for CryptoGPT's GPT token "The deal is mainly for them to become an active market maker in our books," Erja said.
The GPT token was launched last month and its current fully diluted valuation stands at around $210 million, lower than what DWF invested, according to data from CoinGecko.
CryptoGPT was founded in July 2022, according to Erja. Jamila Jelani was named as founder and CEO of the project as recently as last month on some social media accounts and in news articles. But her current title on the CryptoGPT website is marketing personnel. Jelani said "3rd party sources quoted me as CEO as I’ve been told, but I’m handling marketing. It is sloppy work on their end." Erja is the founder and CTO of CryptoGPT, she said, although he's named as a co-founder in today's press release.
CryptoGPT grabbed headlines last month around its token launch and the rapid rise of AI bots like OpenAI's ChatGPT. CryptoGPT claims to help users own and monetize their data via its Layer 2 blockchain network that is under development.
"Use our apps in fitness, dating, games and education. CryptoGPT captures and packages data. Own your data and earn from selling it," Erja said. CryptoGPT's mainnet is expected to go live in the third quarter of this year, he added.
With DWF's investment, CryptoGPT aims to grow its developer team from the current 22 people and grow in Asia, according to Erja.
CryptoGPT previously raised $3 million in a token round through a public sale via DAO Maker last month, according to Erja.

- Last December, the global metaverse platform 'The Sandbox' announced its partners for 'K-Verse' a space for Korean content companies and brands, and will hold a land sale event 'LAND Sale' within the K-Verse region.
There are a total of 17 partners, including @screena The K-Verse region, located in a prime location within The Sandbox, has opened for the first time, and each partner plans to showcase a variety of metaverse experiences using their brand on the land.
The partners are ▲@Screena.lens (Metaverse K-Contents Museum), ▲SM Brand Marketing (KWANGYA @ The Sandbox, SMCU PALACE), ▲AniCube (Music Metaverse), ▲Sajah Records (Fantastic performances and unique music oasis), ▲Gravity (New Ragnarok experience), ▲Lotte World (Virtual World Theme Park), ▲Cube Entertainment (K-Village, a large-scale Korean cultural space set in Seoul), ▲K-League (A delightful K-League for fans), ▲Line Studio (Expanding Line Studio game experience through virtual land), ▲CeREELs (A metaverse hub where various CeREELs IPs and worlds can be experienced), ▲Mr.Misang (Another world of Mr.Misang), ▲ALTAVA Group (BAYC IP-based golf NFT, BAGC), ▲TriumphX (Character Pop-up Adventure, I Love Character), ▲ClubRare (Lazy Freedom presented by Lazy Leos), ▲VRISM (SVNT Virtual Showroom), ▲HanDAO (NFT Art Ground for Korean artists), and ▲Donarz (Web 3.0 NFT-based donation platform), totaling 17 partners.
The LAND Sale took place from December 9th to December 12th last year, and during the event, users could purchase regular and premium land. Additionally, 15 designated regular lands were available for purchase through the global NFT exchange, OpenSea, separate from the Estate. The premium land was located right next to K-Verse's major brand land, and a special NFT set containing the identity of each brand's neighbor was provided upon purchase.
Lee Seung-hee, the representative of The Sandbox Korea, said, "Korean content has established itself as a global cultural icon in various fields such as music, games, dramas, and movies. Through K-Verse, Korean content is expected to demonstrate a powerful influence in the metaverse beyond reality." She added, "Starting with this K-Verse land sale, new Korean companies and brand lands will continue to be revealed in The Sandbox, so we ask for your continued interest."
The Sandbox's metaverse is made up of a total of 166,464 lands, and various content can be uploaded, such as social lounges, galleries, clubs, fashion shows, sports, concerts, and games. With K-Verse and its partners' participation, even more diverse content is expected to be provided.

This is the first photo I took after arriving in Dali, the Erhai Lake and the sunrise in the early morning.
If you got a chance to visit Dali, don't miss this.
- Ive gotten really obsessed with analog horror recently. So I wanted to kind of give it a shot making something that looks terrifying but fits the vibe. For some back round context, Analog horror is a subgenre of horror that focuses on the use of old technology and media, such as VHS tapes, analog televisions, and cassette tapes, to create a sense of unease and fear. It often employs lo-fi visual and audio techniques to create a gritty and unsettling atmosphere, and can play on nostalgic elements from the past to evoke a sense of familiarity that is twisted and distorted.
This will be a limited collect with a 25% mirror ref. This is my first real time trying out this feature.
- After 24 hour marathon brainstorming session, we came up with a solution for content discovery and bot detection for Lens with @pealco.lens stay tuned for the shipping
- Ronnie uses Collateral Swaps.
Available across all V3 markets on app.aave.com. Powered by ParaSwap.
- Lens will be a critical piece in the Internet video creator stack. It’s only a matter of time.
Creative content distribution is outdated. Creativity will be enabled by real relationships between creators and their supporters.
Many of those relationships will be made here - on Lens.
Glass is a protocol for creating on-chain video experiences. Lens is how video creators will tell the story and build a community around those experiences.
In the coming weeks, we want to release a playbook for making the most of that synergy. Collect if you're interested ✨

- Is It Dope? (Mission)
We feel that many teams are building for the users they want instead of the users that they need. Sure we all want users with lots of social media followers to share our content or products but followers don't always equal influence. It's more valuable to target customers with cultural equity, when cultural pollinators get excited about your brand they can get everyone else excited too! This show believes that we can help with that process by reviewing your products and asking one simple question "Is It Dope"? for the lamen, that is just a simple way of asking Is the product or feature you're shipping easy to use? does it add value? Is the messaging digestible? Would we recommend it to the homies? Is it dope to the people who traffic in dopeness? This show will help you answer that question!
