“Web3 has the power to transform the music industry for both artists and fans,” Polygon Studios CEO Ryan Wyatt said in a statement. “The way that we own and experience music is evolving, by fully embracing decentralized technologies and collectibles, this exclusive partnership between Polygon, LGND, and WMG represents an exciting milestone for the music industry.”
The Polygon blockchain system operates using the Ethereum blockchain, so it can easily be thought of it as an extension of the popular network. At the time of launch, LGND said that users will be able to listen to any musical NFT through its platform, with plans to interface with other platforms working with music NFTs.
Polygon announced in a thread of tweets that select artists from Warner Music Group’s network would connect fans to exclusive content and experiences when they purchase their NFTs on LGND Music. The partnership deal also includes Warner Music Group’s Spinnin Records, which is a dance label and community heavily connected in the electronic music space.
Warner Music Group and LGND haven’t announced any artists working with the upcoming platform at this time.
