Curator rewards are here.

Sound now allows curators to earn ETH when collectors mint using their referral link(s). And we’re testing it out with all the songs mentioned below!

I’ve been vocal about my belief that collecting content is the key driver for the next bull market.

And now - curators can share in that upside.

This creates a strong loop to get music on-chain, therefore getting more people to collect.

This comes on top of a jam-packed week including major partnerships, new albums, DAOs, social applications and more.

Safe to say - the music ecosystem is starting to blossom.

So put your music out there.

Let everyone hear it.

And if you’re looking for a manager in web3 - we just wrapped the Launchpad and have 12 eager candidates ready to ramp up.

It’s go time.
