An increasing number of artists, singers, and authors have entered the blockchain and cryptocurrency markets in recent years. The drive behind the shift is the want to retain ownership of their creations, get just compensation for their efforts, and connect with their audiences on a more personal level.


NonFungible predicts that the value of the NFT industry will expand from $41 million in 2018 to $338 million in 2020, with most of this expansion attributable to new entrants into the blockchain and cryptocurrency markets as developers. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) make it possible for artists and musicians to sell their one-of-a-kind digital creations directly to consumers on blockchain networks. Since galleries and record labels typically take a sizable cut of the profits, this eliminates the need for them.


Sharing in profits is just one perk of being involved in the blockchain and cryptocurrency markets. The creators may use the technology to have a more personal connection with their audience. Musicians, for instance, may use blockchain-based platforms to provide fans unique access to backstage material or early album releases, while authors might use NFTs to sell signed copies of their works.


In addition, blockchain technology may aid in the defence of authors' rights to their own works. By keeping their digital assets on distributed ledgers, artists may establish their rights to those assets and the legitimacy of their work, making it harder for others to steal their creations. Considering how simple it is to duplicate and distribute digital media, this is of paramount importance.


Although getting involved in the blockchain and cryptocurrency market has many advantages, doing so is not without its difficulties. It may be difficult for creators to understand the technical language and elaborate procedures that are part of the blockchain and cryptocurrency industries.

Snapmuse.io bridges the gap between web2 and web3 audiences

Polygon's new platform, Snapmuse.io, aims to enable artists earn money from their work and give back to their most devoted followers. The system allows artists to incentivize their communities and provide genuine value to their viewers. Snapmuse.io's combination of NFTs, blockchain technology, and a user-friendly interface streamlines the process of purchasing virtual items. In return, fans purchase CreatorPasses, which provide them three months of access to the artists' private channels and a variety of perks available nowhere else.

To commemorate the occasion, Mariana Avila, a popular YouTuber, is the first creator to sell her CreatorPass on Snapmuse.io. On April 29th, Mariana began a campaign offering a free NFT to everyone who signed up for her Snapmuse.io fan club. With 9.5 million YouTube subscribers and 16 million on TikTok, the influencer has a sizable social media following in LATAM. After registering for Snapmuse.io, anyone can claim Mariana's gift. This is a special opportunity for Mariana's fans to attend the online debut of her new music video on May 4th, with the artist herself.


Snapmuse.io bridges the gap between web2 and web3 audiences, allowing artists to easily earn steady income while encouraging and rewarding dedicated fan participation. The platform provides artists with a new method of monetization while also assisting them in securing the financial resources necessary to expand their channels and foster deeper, more meaningful connections with their audiences. Snapmuse.io makes it easy to get started with the web3 by requiring just a Google login for access and accepting both credit cards and debit cards for payments.


Snapmuse.io's readily available artists and the simplicity with which they may join the site might attract millions of new users to web3. The launching of Snapmuse.io on Polygon and the expanding use of blockchain and cryptocurrency in the creative industry suggest that more artists will follow in Mariana Avila's footsteps and join the blockchain and cryptocurrency market.
