Coinbase-powered blockchain ecosystem Base has partnered with blockchain music platform Sound.xyz to allow artists to mint music on-chain, using its own song as the inaugural track.
Coinbase-powered blockchain Base announced a partnership with the blockchain music platform Sound.xyz on Dec. 19, which now allows artists to mint music via the Base ecosystem.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Sound.xyz said that with the Base ecosystem being an Ethereum layer 2, the gas fees for minting tracks as nonfungible tokens (NFTs) are cheaper, and transactions are fast. It said these factors will also allow artists to upload and withdraw without purchasing crypto or bridging their funds.
Sound said the most significant benefit to the Web3 music scene would be “tapping into” the over 100 million users on the Base network. It highlighted how music is a great entry point for “a whole new generation of users to get on-chain.”
